Loved that too, Diane. I seem to recall that there were three brothers in the show who all had the same first name. Weird!

How is everyone doing?

I've been hours each week watering my garden due to drought - water from a pond the beavers kindly filled for me. I've been playing Pokémon like an addict and hanging out with all sorts of people I would not normally meet, and I went camping on my own in my vintage camper. Hubby supports my camping i.e. he put a solar panel and back-up camera on it but hates camping himself. 

Cute story - people are interested in my old camper van, one site the little girl in the next site who was playing lawn croquet with her family said hello to me as I set up, then she asked "if we become friends can I sleep on the top part" lol I was mostly on a visiting my relatives loop so had a nice time. 

Thinking about fall, gathering in stuff and no kidding there are Christmas items in the stores already!

I adored Bob Newhart - manager of the Stratford Inn was my favourite role of his.

Yes, I was a huge fan and also listened to his glorious monologues on the family's old record player. Even in his latter years, he managed to steal the show when he appeared in several episodes of "The Big Bang Theory". A comic genius.

He was a great favourite of my father's, and I remember listening to his monologues on the old record player when I was a kid (probably the same LP, Peepsie). Very funny man!

Sad to have heard of the death of Bob Newhart. I bought an LP of his funny monologues when I was young. Hilarious guy.

I remember you saying he was a favourite of yours too, Roger.

Here's his Driving Instructor sketch...

We are! Several Dundee United supporters' groups use The Nomad character on their flags etc. Haven't received any royalties yet...

Great photo, Diane. You have such an impressive array of wildlife around you. Having said that, I'm still waiting for your definitive Sasquatch snap.

I read a really good book a few years ago, it had a bit with a Sasquatch family and was supposedly based on a true story. "The Long Walk" by Slavomir Rawicz - you might enjoy it too.  It also has a bit with a bear.

Amazing little creatures. I read somewhere that they can build lodges that are up to 700 yards in length. Incredible.

Apparently, Freemasons can do that too.
