Dinner was a wonderful salad, striped bass and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've a third of a bowl left of Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Less than an hour ago, I learned that one of my best friends, and most knowledgeable pipe smokers, David Cuneo, a.k.a. Dmcmtk, has passed away from natural causes. I'm working on an obituary that I never thought that I would have to write.

My condolences Jim, losing a friend is never easy. I lost a close one just over a year ago due to an awful accident. Not sure if I’m even done processing the loss yet…he was young, in his 40s with a family. Sigh. With life, sadly comes death :(

I had just finished loading some items in the storage shed and was smoking some Virginia talking to a friend on the phone while sitting in my lawn chair when two coyotes came around the corner of the house; I saw them first and let them know I was there and they started grunting at me and charging towards me and I had to get up and charge them back to chase them away. What really startled/scared me was that they seemed to be identical twins and had black faces almost like shepherds. I didn't know coyotes could be twins and hunted in pairs. I'm wondering if they were coywolves (???). They are still running around in the woods on the hillside so I am restricting myself to the porch for tonight just in case. Bold things !!! (And I like wild animals).
