From Nha Trang to Yucatan . . .
. . . in the dead heat . . .

for that fleeting kiss of the bitter-sweet 💋
The Stairway down to Dragon Town🐉

Home Is Where The Heart Is . . .
With the stallion Caraxes 🤎
the Grand HQ Monaro 🧡
(a bible in the glove box 📖)
and Vitiosus my trusty hell hound 🖤
I can chase any dragon down 🐉⬇️
It’s a dirty and thankless task
. . . but someone has gotta do it.

Chasing dragons. Nice fire-breathing footage. That’s a beautiful dragon you chased down with hell hound, horse, and Hemi! Bye! Bye! Cute kitties!

Thanks Timothy. Yes, baby dragons
are cute. That one had a blue tongue
and was obviously unwell to be
chased down so easily, so we sent
him off to the House of the Dragon
for some tender loving care 🦎 😍 🕶

As usual – a very artsy trip! For some reason smiling kitties always freak me out. If my cat smiled at me I’d know for sure it was the end of the world!

Thanks for tripping the light fantastic,
Jan. My dog, Vitiosus 🐺 can bite and
smile at the same time, but when he
chuckles I know he’s up to something.

Very cool videos, particularly the fire-breathing dragon. (I’m not a fan of snakes. I’m terrified of them.)

It’s only the five clawed Imperial
Dragons I’m afraid of. They’re the
ones that fly over Washington
. . . and Moscow 🐉🤔🕶

Okay, I’ll give you that. The Imperial Dragons over Washington and Moscow are much deadlier than any snake.

Greatly appreciated, Suzette 🙏
Linda and I were away from home, and adopted fur babies, for quite a
while, so it was good to get back
home. My dog, Oki Vitiosus, actually
cried when we walked in the door 🥲🕶

Wow, loved that time lapse video – I see I am not the only one that has a sweet tooth. It is wonderful to travel but always so great to be back home “such as it is these days,” our homes however are our protected spaces covered by the Grace of God, and I must say that is both a cool and beautiful car but I love that horse too. Having lived in KY and went to a many beautiful horse farm and dated a jockey for a while whose parents raised race horses I got to ride on the more than hundred acre farm and boy did we have fun. Loved experiencing your adventure with you and Linda and all the great shots and captions. Thanks for sharing all that culture and history with us. Sending lots of love and many blessings to you both. Going to look for one of your amazing poems next. 🤗

God’s grace has certainly covered
a multitude of my DIY sins, Joni.
Between chainsaws, unstable ladders,
mentally unstable bulls in a bad mood,
stabled horses in a bad mood 🐎 rude
Australian snakes and spiders, it truly
is a miracle I still have a functioning

So thanks for your prayers 🙏 😎
