4/Jun/18 take more picture from my better side

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

I didn't realize this, but if you were to look though a lot of my pictures, I am hardly ever photographed from this side.  It seems that when the picture is taken, it's of my left side.

Yesterday, the Big Guy and Tonya left me home as they went to Margaree without me.  They were gone about 4 hours.  So I know that they stopped for lunch somewhere.  They didn't even bring me back a bone, as a treat for being so good while they were out.

Although we did go for a walk.  BUT, the Big Guy put on his winter jacket for the walk.  It was VERY windy and very cold due to the wind chill.  They are not sure what's happening with Global Warming, but I can tell you, it certainly doesn't effect Cape Breton Island in the least.

Now, for some sad news...

Yesterday, due to the high winds, the birds were not able to fly like they normally would.

As the Big Guy was driving to Margaree.  A small bird, didn't realize just how big a Ford Flex is.  Well it smashed in to the wind shied of the Big Guy's car and pretty much blew up.  Tonya was quite upset.  

Now, the Big Guy was sort of happy.  Not happy that the bird wasn't alive, but happy that the bird didn't break his windshield.  

The Big Guy was also happy that Tonya didn't get upset with him for killing the bird.

Many years ago, Tonya was VERY upset with the Big Guy.  They were on the Cabot Trail, driving a long, when the Big Guy ran over a little chipmunk.  Now, you have to remember, there are parts of the Cabot Trail that the road isn't very wide.  There are deep ditches and then opposing traffic.

Running over the chipmunk wasn't exactly intentional on the Big Guy's part.  But when he looked in his rear view mirror and smiled.  That is what pissed off Tonya so much.

Now, to give you a little back story about running little furry creatures over.  In the Prairies there are gophers.  Now, gophers make holes in the ground.  Cattle and horses are not exactly the most intelligent creatures that God has ever made.  Well, they will run around their fields.  But then, WHAM, their leg goes in a gopher hole and they break a leg.  So farmers in the Prairies will do a lot to get rid of the gophers.  Most people that live in the Prairies will swerve to run down a gopher.  It's what they do.  Now, gophers can be curious.  They will run across the highways.  So when a driver sees a gopher running across the highway, they will toot their horn to get the gopher's attention.  The gopher will stand upright to see what the noise was.  Then, WHAM, the gopher is run down.

I know, not a very nice story.

But tell me, when is the last time you let a mosquito suck the blood out of your arm.  Or did you swat it and kill it?

The Big Guy feels that is the only saving grace about the cold weather.  No mosquitoes.  Yet...
