I am lazy, so I told the wife she needs to buy me an electric razor if she wants me to keep with the sculpted facial hair. right now I just look dirty and unkempt.
that sub-looking thing is at the Astoria marine museum and is actually a retired lighthouse ship. they anchor em offshore and they are essentially lighthouses asea. kinda neat.
and for the record:
black dog = parker, border collie, 2yrs, my wife's pride and joy
golden dog = samosa, mutt, 3 yrs, a teddy bear when sleepy or occupied, otherwise totally anxiety prone
red dog = cooper, mini aussie, 1yr, foster dog, very afraid of people and currently being slowly socialized so he can maybe eventually be found a new home (tho we may end up keeping him, i dunno)
