Never heard of any of these other than Santana which I've heard a lot.

I've heard all the Yes's on YT last night and it's none of them. Just can't think of another band name. Forget it. I think if i do finally find it, it just won't be as enjoyable as i think it was.

Yesterday, I heard Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth which i used to like as a kid. Somehow, I felt nothing while hearing it again. It seemed childish.

Just read this. Haven't ever used FB so don't know.

Is Facebook going down ?

Using Facebook is becoming more and more of a chore, and it almost feels like the company is trying to make it worse at this point. Honestly, I'm not sure I know anyone who actually loves using Facebook; most people admit that it sucks but say that's where their friends are so they deal with it.

Why anyone would even consider taking the Copenhagen-Malmö route into Sweden is such a preposterous thought. You'd save tons of money by taking the Copenhagen-Helsingør-Helsingborg route. Sure, it'll be about an hour longer on average but then just set off an hour earlier.

You need to be sober to do that.

The dog I had looked after last year when he was run over (as a pup) and then had parvo-virus, has been missing for 5 days.

Prior to that he was badly bitten all over and had not eaten for a couple weeks. This is the mating season, and he had disappeared once. I finally located him in a neighbouring block where there were a bunch of females. After that he would come to my house every morning, I'd feed him lots of bread and milk, and then he'd vanish for the rest of the day.

And then five days back he vanished. Every day I was looking for him morning and evening but he was nowhere to be found. I finally gave up on him thinking he was dead.

Today, i once again searched for several miles just in case someone had dropped him a mile away or he'd followed some female away. No luck.

This afternoon I step out and there he is at my door, he whined a bit. I could smell medicine. As I fed him, I could see that wherever he had bites the hair was cropped and there was medicine. Later, I thought I'd just check and yes, one ear had been clipped which is what they do here when they neuter a stray dog. I could not upturn him to check for an incision, but under his tail there was a vertical cut. Since he has been away for five days, obviously he was in a hospital undergoing the neutering.

I am so relieved. I had given him up dead last night. I was wondering how to deal with it.

Here's an old pic of him with his two little sisters. He will be 2 years old in November, while they turn one in November.

The two little ones are the absolute biggest joys of my life.

Here's a front pic of him eating, several months back.

Sentinel, that dog has been through a lot. It is nice of you to look after these dogs.

I took this route quite a few times from Copenhagen to Lund and back.

I really enjoy travelling by boat between Sweden and Denmark, which I have done recently, and in the Baltic realms in general. This is also a nice route:

Senti, if your pal did get neutered he might stray from home a bit less. My two boys are still intact and the older wants to escape and roam every night. Thankfully, he rarely succeeds on his escape mission. I should rename him after the Brit pal of Steve McQueen's character in "The Great Escape". I'll go imDb that now and edit ASAP.
