    What Did You do Today?

    Watched some whales feeding in the bay. Shoveled some snow out so I could get to my wood pile. Watched some National Geographic VHS tapes, and pulled some bear meat out of the freezer to thaw for stew. Pretty nice.

The ongoing debate of what makes a Bulldog different...
