Barb and I enjoyed a nice and tasty dinner in this pub. We ordered the garlic chicken wings, lots of them. They were amongst the best we have ever ordered. The wings came with their home-made bleu cheese, carrots and their special house sauce. Very crispy, and not greasy. After looking over the menu for their main course, we decided on their fish n’ chips. The fish was coated in EBC Two Brother”s Pale Ale beet battet and Japanese bread crumbs, then deep fried. The dish came with crispy fries and Coleslaw. We had Pad Thai noodle and chicken dish. It had light spice with al dente’ noodles. The noodles were covered with broiled chicken strips. It was the special of the night. The locals commented that they have a terrific burger. They have dining on their patio. Since they are known for having over a selection of 20 local and hard to find craft beers. We sampled a few. That was a treat.

Terry “the Terror” getting up in the morning just before he has his breakfast and Zuke’s Hip Action formula.
American Press Travel News – March 9, 2016.-PSL. FL.-written by Team Bob and Barb– Eleven years ago, we found Terry (our mixed breed dog) and for the past eleven years as part of our family, he has treated us so well, in response to our treating him with love and caring, as if he is more our son, then just a family pet. Eleven years later, today; we have gotten older, and Terry, in dog- years, that are accelerated to virtually the same biological age as we are now (close to 70 years) has also aged. Recently, we’ve noticed Terry beginning to limp and show some discomfort in his hips. We have sought information (besides the Veterinarian’s advice) from other dog owners with older dogs. We’ve learned about medicinal and dietary supplements that include Glucosamine and Chondroitin, in a seasoned, whole-foods product that would be happily acceptable to Terry. We recently purchased a product called “Zuke’s Hip Action Treats” contained in a peanut butter formula. The product is made in the United States and, from what we can see, it is assisting in offering Terry some daily hip and joint support, in a naturally delicious dog treat. Additionally the product has added vitamins and minerals. The product has egg shell meal and entire formula has been quite appealing to Terry. We noticed that Terry, after just eating the first half bag of Zuke’s has stopped limping. He also appears to be sleeping without waking up to pain throbs at night, and although 11-years old, bounds out of his dog bed with the kind of enthusiasm that we remember he had as a younger dog- ready and able to take on the day of exercise and playfulness that we have come to love about him.

APtravelnews-Ely, Minnesota-A couple of summers ago! Barb and I wanted to see bears and we heard that there were wild bears at the Vince Shute Bear Viewing Sanctuary.Shute began leaving peanuts out for bears so they wouldn’t break into his cabin anymore. They weren’t tame at all, but were used to seeing people watching them. However, the people watched them from a distance and a safe viewing platform. We came before the platform was build and I took a chance letting Barbara get close to the sow bear and her cubs. In the image you can see the mother just before she turned and woofed at Barbara to stay back. The bear didn’t charge, Barb and I both got the picture we wanted and we both backed off. I shot this with a telephoto lens-frankly, Barb was way too close, but this time we got the bear, the bear didn’t get us!!!!
This is how not to photograph wildlife, especially a bear with cubs, especially not!
