Hi, my name is Rick.

Eva and I ran an 8K yesterday.  It was hosted by the German military representatives working on Ft. Bliss.  They did native German dances.  One of the dances had the German men chopping and cutting a large log which served as the impetus for the following classic exchange:

Me: “Only Germans would incorporate work into their dance.”
Unnamed Friend: “Haven’t you heard?  Arbeit macht frei.”

The photos today are of a feral dog which Eva named Rufugus, and of a house next door to my mother-in-law’s beach house in Norfolk.

Man, look how nice Norfolk is.  It’s so nice you’d think it was anywhere on earth other than Norfolk.  I must admit, Norfolk is rather… well, let’s just say that if it were a dinosaur it would be an ickysaurus.  Or maybe a disgustingdon.  Or perhaps a pukeceratops.  You get the gist.  Right along the water is nice in most places, but a block or so inland… well it gets quite Jurassic.
