I think wire haired dachshunds are just the cutest ever. I love that he'll fetch. Usually scent hounds are too busy smelling. :~)

The title alone makes this photo the best thing I've seen all day. Extra points for the inexplicably sharp flag pin.

The University of Fireplug? Notice how much it looks like a tiny little R2D2?

Perhaps in the wettest season the perimeter of the swamp becomes too soggy for easy trudging?

Whatever... Good luck with your campaign to be Woodie of all the Russias. Cool shot, too.

The Bell Tolls for Thee

Comment by Bear_Music:
Outstanding. Entire quote as follows, if you care:

No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

— John Donne, Meditation XVII

Back in the day (this was a long time ago) they of course had no telephones, no telegraphs, no form of instant communication. So when something of moment happened, like a death of someone of stature in the community, they would toll the bell of the church or the abbey, and the people would come and gather and hear the news. So if I were a wealthy man, say, I'd send my manservant out to ask for whom the bell tolled; and it's me that John Donne is addressing in this meditation.

Sorry if this is TMI, but it's a favorite meditation of mine :-)
