This LEGO set brought back a lot of childhood memories. I loved all the Tintin stories, read them all multiple times.

110 lbs of poodle has the same effect.

Just another day in urban Victoria. A buck that has been wandering the neighborhood decided to visit my parents' yard this morning.

Eventually you'll never get any sleep, but while you still can, Kepler would like in. He's very tired.

Just a pic of Kepler to end the day on a high note.
