Hit and Run

Winnie was the victim of a hit and run last night. An older blue pickup truck hit her Rodeo from behind at a stoplight at the same intersection where a young woman was killed a couple of days ago.

Winnie pulled over to exchange information, and the truck took off. She called it in, and the State Police took as much info as she had, but it was dark when it happened and she didn't have a good description. Just a cracked bumper to replace from what we can see, but WTH?

Winnie says if she ever catches him, she'll kick his asshole out his mouth.

I believe her.

Darwin Award IX

When, oh when, will they learn that if you must steal copper wire, you need to turn the power off first.

Around 40,000 volts of electricity killed a 32-year-old would-be copper thief in Ajax on the weekend.

Durham Regional Police confirmed today that the man, found dead inside a hydro substation Saturday, was trying to steal copper wire.

Police said the man used bolt cutters to get into the fenced compound and came into contact with a large transformer, electrocuting himself.

Now, That's a "Bond Girl"

We've all seen the array of of woman who've appeared in the James Bond movies over the years. Generally little waifs, though often with big bosoms.

Pierce Brosnan shows somewhat more glorious taste. This is his wife.

On a winter holiday in Hawaii in the company of a curvaceous beauty is as fitting a location for any Bond - past or present.

Which is exactly where Pierce Brosnan, star of Die Another Day and Goldeneye is enjoying his winter break.

Joined by his wife, former journalist Keely Shaye-Smith, the pair splashed around happily in the ocean close to their holiday home on the island of Kauai.

Full-figured Keely exuded confidence as she joined her husband in the surf.

The 43-year-old has turned her back on the Hollywood size zero trend and is a pin-up for shapely women, even writing fashion tips for American Vogue.

Pierce, 54, recently declared his wife "stunning", adding: "I love my wife's curves!" in an American magazine.

Makes me want to go buy a movie.

Let it Snow!

Just like last April ,we are getting a snowstorm today. These coastal-raised collies aren't really quite sure what to make of it.

Every Home Should Have One

Ever needed a really comfy couch you can really lay back and relax in? How about this baby? I fact, babies would probably be quite comfortable here.

An Uncanny Resemblance

These two have an uncanny resemblance, don't you think?

Congratulations Cousin!

So, now I have a new little first cousin, once removed.

Do You Live Close to the Beach?

When we get together with family, and talk about living in Virginia, this is one subject that always seems to come up.

Yes, we do live close to the water, though our "beach" is along the York River, near where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay. We do see tides here, and the water is brackish (partially salty), but I'd have to admit it's not nearly like being at Virginia Beach.

Even so, here's a video that shows how close we are to the water.
