Nothing 4 Nothing

I found this photo today of relatives posing on an Indian Motorcycle, probably around 1915.

The picture was taken in Springfield, Mass where the motorcycle was manufacrured, the factory was called the "wigwam" and riders were known as "warriors"...maybe they still are?

It is to early for summer. I've been fighting black widow spiders. They give me the creepy creeps. You wouldn't think someone can be so afraid of such little things...but they scare me more than a snake. My cousin was bitten by a black widow that was in his sleeping bag, he had to go to the hospital.

I'm reading the last of Tad William's Otherland series. I've enjoyed the story so much I don't want it to end. He is a magnificent story teller...

News said gas prices may hit $7.00 a gallon before long. I'd hate to see that happen. Gasoline is expensive enough now at near $4.00. Yet, even at these prices I don't see any less traffic on the road. Go figure....? Ciao

Greyhound Classes...I found this cartoon amusing. Sadly I have never been to the dog races or to Biscayne, Florida but I love the dogs. I have often thought very seriousely about adopting a greyhound. It is said that they make wonderful house dogs and are very lazy after they retire from the racetrack. I like lazy dogs I don't want to be throwing frisbees and running around all day with a dog. The only reason I hesitate is because I read once if a greyhound runs away from you, for example he wants to chase a paper bag or a leaf blowing in the wind, the dog is so focused on the object he is chasing and will not stop until he catches it...he won't listen to you if you call his name or whistle, he will just keep running at speeds I believe 20-30 mph. Then when he arrives to his destination he can't find his way home, he is totally lost because greyhounds lack a sense of smell, they are totally a visual dog and if his new surroundings are unknown to him he is lost....other than this slight flaw they are an excellent dog. I do have a couple greyhound figurines, they don't need food or water or walks, but they are not as much fun. Someday I want a greyhound, I really and truly do...or maybe a chihuahua....they have shorter legs!!!
