Blue sky, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue sky, do I see

Hey, Arlo Gutherie is coming to a small town near me in the Yorkshire Pennines. I saw him play at the Mariposa Folk Festival on Toronto Island in the 1970s, with Joni Mitchell making her first solo appearance playing her own songs. Lovely. Makes me happy remembering it...

What always makes me smile are pictures of dogs in funny hats.

Kali, you almost topped the pope dog; Scandinavians are always very funny, although, I've said it before here, I don't always understand Scandinavian humour but in the cases you present...



These look exactly like an American aunt and uncle of mine





and is this a picture of my nanny (I'm not in the pram, it's just a picture of her)

This here can make a lot of your friends and relatives smile..

Another tip. Whenever you have to sit and figure out how much to charge someone for any given service, simply keep adding up numbers. When you have put together just enough to make you smile, then you have exactly the right price.

so where's his danda then?

I just happen to know that when Kalisurfer threw the danda and called out: "Fetch!" the very detached Sri Kelsey-ji did not move and the danda was lost.
