    IIRC it had rained and he hit a puddle. I've "met" one of those motorcycles, it's at "The Museum of Transportation" in St. Louis.

    For years I’ve had this picture in my head of a future pilot getting into a capsule/cockpit and the panel closing…no windows. Inside the cockpit, the panel suddenly lights up, the reds and yellows and greens reflecting off the pilot’s face. Then putting on a helmet that covers most of his face. Once activated the pilot sees his instruments in front.of him, but the aircraft has gone…As if sitting in a chair suspended in the air, the pilot sees wherever he looks, thanks to over a thousand mini cameras all around the fuselage…And then I see this picture.

    Well...Funny you should say that. It is said that they are part Dingo...And they certainly resemble a Dingo.
    A Kelpie (Kel-Pee) - Notice the eye brows...Missing from Dingos.

    We bred them to be sheep/cattle dogs...

    Ahem...not to be trifled with. They have courage to burn...

    Black Dingo - Slightly taller, leaner...Bushy tail

    Im giving you the points...You know your mutts.

    Season 2 of "Muster Dogs" is on the ABC here in Australia - A TV Show where they give a puppy to farmers and cattlemen and women all over Australia - They then have to train their puppy to the best of their abilities...Then they are brought together to see the best dog and trainer...Well worth a look if you can get the Australian ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    That bigger dog is actually one of my son’s two Labs.. That is not a picture but a digital frame, this one by Aura, it’s of those devices where they can load photos from any location from their phone or computer where they have a photo stream and send them to us on this. They can set the time of day as to when it comes on and when it goes off. The photos are unlimited and it rotates constantly and they load new ones from time to time. This one comes on at 9:00 am and shuts down at 10:00 pm. They needed my WIFI pass word and it’s off and running.
