Feeling lucky … punks?

I myself have to walk the dog, empty the dishwasher and, or was that walk the wife and empty the trash? I’d like a photo essay of your trash can, perhaps in slow-motion, with a 360-degree view, compiled by Google Photos in a photo panorama. My friends, those that claim to be my friends, and relatives will ooh and aah at my rendition of the man who claimed to be an Australian, but was only seen in his traveling shorts and shirts lacking the color, Denali Blue! I might have to order a tattoo with your name on it, in order to brag about my admiration and dedication to someone who never needs to empty his trash can, quite frankly because he never, ever is at home….

Home is where the grass grows

I’m sure your dog loves the walks, Wayne.
I’ve got a very small dog so I
don’t actually need to leave
the house for walkies.
One bowl of dog food keeps
her going for weeks, so we
can get away for holiday trips.
I try not let the grass grow

It is amazing to get

And yes, there was passion

of those secluded beaches 🌴

Even tried the Luwak coffee.
Extra warm from passing thru
the digestive tract of furry
little critters. And then crapped
out. Adds extra flavour … apparently!?

I have heard about that. Their bodies ferment it in a certain way. Same thing with mesquite beans. I worked for a man in Texas that made mesquite bean jelly. He said the jelly was better when the beans had passed thru a local cow, first. The process of rumination changed the flavor. Heh. 🤔😆

It’s a craptacular process that
makes the beans of Java far more valuable. $10 a cup at
the coffee plantation,
no middleman … except the Lumak, of course
(I think they saw us coming).
I could’ve bought another
genuine Rolex watch at Kuta
beach for that!

If you have time, visit Prato,

Bali has been over exploited
