It's all about Charlie


Nice day for flying today.



I didn't notice this bird at first. You can just barely see it in the first picture on the opposite bank.
It was warm for February today. It's over 40 degrees now, practically shorts weather. The texture of the ice and snow has changed, and is melting a little.


Charlie's muzzle is graying. He's 8 years old.


You can see the (Boston) Longwood Medical Area buildings behind Charlie.

Sigh, more badpress.

Saw it and thought of you. :/

Hey, at least they reported the dogs' breed as "American bulldog." They could have easily said pitbull--they often do, just to sell papers.

Still rubbish, if that was a person attacking her and he said, "Oh I just got tired of trying to pull him off her and started stabbing" this would be a completely different news article.
