Jim's plane looks like this one that we've flown on a few times on the way to Maine. On one flight I volunteered to sit in the co-pilot seat, because I thought there would be more leg room. There was, but there were pedals down there that if you hit them with your foot, the plane would do ... something. Probably something not-good. Here's what the landing looks like from the co-pilot's seat.

Red and white lighthouse --- here's one. Assateague Light House from when we were there for the famed pony penning where wild horses are driven from Assateague Island to Chincoteague Island where some of the horses are auctioned off to control the herd size and to raise money for the care of the rest of the wild horses. Here the lighthouse can be seen in the background as the cowboys are starting to drive the wild horses into the water for the short swim to Chincoteague Island. Here are some of the ponies after the swim. Some of the ponies are selected to be returned to the island for the good of the herd, these are "auctioned" off anyway to raise money, but the person "buying" the horse is essentially making a donation to the organization in question. This is the horse that my wife "bought", where the money was being donated to the local hospice organization. She did so because of how helpful hospice was for her mother in the preceding couple of years. We decided the foal should be named "Papa Bear" after her mother's nickname for her father.

At the President's residence in Rabat, Morocco. I was told that they use three different military organizations as guards because they don't trust each other. I don't know if that is true or not.

Hareball- it's funny he's black but in the sun he looks chocolate. We have called him so many different names but since we found him out in the woods he has never responded to anything but Kitty Kitty. No matter what I call him he stares at me blankly but when I say Kitty Kitty he acts like that's his name so now that's what we call him. Haru is beautiful please keep sharing pics! Whenever someone posts a cat, I can't help but post up my baby too. I am glad that you are here.
