Apparently, the Only One In America Not To Feel the Earthquake

PUPPY-MANIA!!!!

The Old Rifle Range Trail in Ellison Park.  In 1933, it was a classy gun club that turned into a nice nature preserve in 1994

These used cars were not available when I was shopping for a new car...

Frontier Field


Photobucket
It was military/fireman (or something like that) appreciation night.  Lots of uniforms!


Photobucket
Rachel is the biggest baseball fan in the world!


Photobucket
Saw this in Topps.  I like that the lemon finds itself sour.  


Photobucket
THE FOSTER PUPPIES ARE HERE!  They had to come in to get their checkup with the vet and took over the office.  Poor Dock (the cat).

Poor Dock getting whacked in the face with a tail

The puppy riot was contained and brought back home.

Dock and Neville can return to normal levels of trouble.

Billy the Bill Will Take Over For Maybin At Linebacker And Already Has More Sacks

Photobucket
At first, you laugh because why would anyone want Billy the Bill mascot's autograph.  Then you realize, he was their best draft pick since 1983...


Photobucket
The Buffalo Bills have their training camp at St. John Fisher College, which is just down the road from us.


Photobucket
So, how bad are the Bills going to be this year?  Improving, but still Detroit Lions bad.  


Photobucket


Photobucket
Panorama of players that will soon be on the practice squad


Photobucket
Sadly, the special teams are the highlight.  Important, but still sad...


Photobucket
Neville!  Get better and find a home.  I guess he has a throat problem, which is why he got sick in surgery and then got pneumonia.  That doesn't explain why he likes to poop under my desk...


Photobucket
This is in my job description...


Photobucket
East End Fest in downtown Rochester.  "Haven't heard a Sponge song in a while.  Another cover?  Who sings this song; 3-11?  I don't know, it might be Creed.  I'll look it up on my phone.  It's Sponge...  These guys must really like Sponge...  (time passes)  Wait, these guys are Sponge."


Photobucket
"The Push-Up Girls and one buff dude."  I thought girls in camouflage bikinis were the National Guards latest attempt to get kids to sign up for the military since they were by their tent.  But, I guess they were for some gym.  I wish it were the National Guard...

Photobucket
The local cover band Sponge opened up for.  Seriously, who is their manager?


Photobucket
Thousand Acre Swamp nature preserve in Penfield


Photobucket
This is a pretty weird little swamp.  All sorts of interesting plants, bugs, animals, and all.


Photobucket
The boardwalk through the reeds and cattails 


Photobucket
great trail names


Photobucket
Eery woods with creepy trees.  As local lore states, a hermit use to live in these woods.  Probably still does...


Photobucket
Red dragonfly


Photobucket
This is from the part of the woods where many trees looked like this.  It was a pretty interesting place and the photos do not do it justice.

Puppies, Renaissance, and Bob Dylan; Oh My!

Photobucket
Oh Neville, when will you get better?  Almost died getting neutered.  Got pneumonia.  Now he has to fight off Dock...

Photobucket
Good sniffin'

Photobucket
All work and no play

Photobucket
B-day cake for Papa

Photobucket
Ohhhh!!!  Nice use of the golf ball

Photobucket
The Sterling Renaissance Festival.  Right now, I'm going to tell you this is way more than I expected...

Photobucket
I didn't even know they would have permanent structures.  I just expected some jousting and a turkey leg.  Not theater.  It's essentially the Medieval Times restaurant outside!

Photobucket
Oh, and you get to use old weapons, like a bow and arrow.

Photobucket
Here's the midday public execution.

Photobucket

Photobucket
Chop off that head!  The kid brought up was very disappointed that he didn't get to catch a real human head...

Photobucket
It was "Scottish Days," so some Highland Games were in order

Photobucket
THROW THAT TELEPHONE POLL!!!

Photobucket
Ping Pong Crossbow

Photobucket

Photobucket
Tomato throwing at Tomato Justice.  You may get hit in the face with tomatoes, but you also get to insult everyone and get paid.  So...

Photobucket
Nothing could illustrate America's health crisis more than this...

Photobucket
TO THE WATER DUNK!

Photobucket
Misery

Photobucket
FINALLY!  Some jousting.  WWE style

Photobucket

Photobucket
Megan's dad got tickets to the Leon Russell/Bob Dylan concert last night at CMAC in Canandaigua.  Pretty swanky place.
