good morning. i found a houndbun tail and one foot on my lawn a couple of days ago. hawk or fox got him maybe? i guess it wasn't lucky for the original owner.

That's a lucky foot there, Dale.

Good morning, Dale. The houndbun is rumored to attack members of their own community

houndbun of the baskervilles was kind of anticlimactic.

Great Stuffs from DJ DaveTheObscure! 💟📻🎶🎵🖤💀

meow meow meow meow meow

Ooooo love the end

thanks, MrM, for the positive feedback

glad to hear you enjoyed th music, goots

@goots, I ❤️ the Penn Museum!! I was just thinking about it the other day and how I need to go back. What was your favorite part?

we spent a lot of time in the Chinese area. I loved the room itself too. So much cool Buddhist artifacts. And in the middle of the circular room, an ancient crystal ball 🔮

Good Morning! I love the Museums at PENN too! My old ID gets me into them free, nice perk.

good morning, Roffle

There was nobody there! Perhaps they were all at the flower show. So pleasant

PENAGUIN was pretty cool btw.

The huge Sphinx of course is a draw; I also favor the rotunda room with its huge Buddhas and Chinese guard dogs. Love the 🔮

glad you liked it, Roffle

@gm Roffle, you lucky free museum-goer

our lop-eared houndbun reminds me of the Chinese lion dog 🐇 🐕 // 🦁 🐕

I've never had to wait in a que goots, that's for sure. I don't think there have ever been more than a few people.

@ goots, yes, I can see the resemblance

lol, a few likenesses in stone for sure.

I brought WPRB w me on the bike 🚲 ready for difficult

coming up in 10 minutes

How is it out riding today goots? I'm thinking of heading out for a bit.

Oh no I’m inside
