protesting is a sacred right
in light of day or dark of night
those who would control us all
are they who truly fear a fall
let all know no heart can fail
that smiles at a wagging tail

Seriously...
My wife and I headed south after ten days in Portland & Silverton, Oregon. For our drive back to Los Angeles we tried to choose a day to travel where more snow fell on more square miles than anyone who lives here can remember. Anyway, we nailed it! Read below the fold...

Chauncy, a Dog and My Friend
I took Chauncy for a walk this afternoon. We went down to the L.A. River and walked along its upper bank. He peed, I pondered, he shit, I scooped it up in a plastic bag. Friends do things like that for one another, and for the river as well. Read below the fold...

Chauncy visited the wetlands in Huntington Beach yesterday, after earlier saying hi to many, many elderly in a convalescent home in Los Alamitos.
Some folks are wonderin' why they was born

Chauncy, the black and white Border Collie and (we think) pit bull mix was "rescued" on the Los Angeles River in July of 2003. He appeared at the top of a foot path and stared at me like I had been expected. He had no tags, no microchip, was not fixed: in short, he had the usual stats for a lost dog in our neck of the woods. Subsequent to our taking him home, no one ever put up a lost dog sign, and we asked Chauncy if he would like to live with us. He appeared to say yes. Read below the fold...
