Dog Days of Summer in "P"-town
Well yesterday I took Buddha to the Portland Saturday Market. It was tons of fun.
It was so hot, I think it topped out around 100. ... Too bloody hot.
We ended up parking on the East side of the river and walked over.
-"Good idea, Bad idea." It was a nice walk, ... but the homeless came out from the shade, and wanted to pet Buddha. It kind of hard to say no when their already down on the ground petting him. At least they didn't hit me up for money.
We finally made it to the market where he found a water bowl and drank everything up.
and then I saw one of the many public fountain down in that area. I took Buddha over and splashed some water on him, he was so happy to cool down. but he was still so hot, so i looked around and said, .. heck with it, "I'm in Portland and anything weird goes". So I picked him up and tossed him in the fountain. It was quite funny, I got a huge cheer of the surrounding crowed, and everyone laughed and then grabbed their dogs and put them in.
"Oh, My happy little Buddha". I had so many people come up and hand me dog treats, it was crazy.
We walked around for a few hours, until it was so hot that Buddha couldn't walk because the ground was so hot, poor guy. We ran from shady spot, to the next shady spot.
Over all we both had a great day!
Tired Hot Wet Dog
Here are a few I snapped while walking over the Hawthorn Bridge.
I love this one for the fact that I was able to catch the girl on her bike.
Woodland Parade
Well, I found my camera again!!! So I have some new pictures to post!
Here are a few from the one of the near bye local small town parade last weekend.
I'm not a hyper masculine man or a huge military "fan", but it's cool to drive around in a rare piece of history.
(It is a little weird to driving around and have the old ladies try and flirt and whistle at you.)
This one was in the staging area, right before the parade started.
-General Patton would be scared of these stone face killers.
Amanda and I had tons of fun spraying the little kids, and unsuspecting adults with our Super Soakers. I think my helmet makes me aerodynamic. (I really want to paint one plaid)
Okay, I love the outdoors and have never been hunting. (It's just never appealed to me.) And I don't mind the idea of people who hunt, too much.
But I saw this float and was a little disturbed.
All I can say is .... Wow, "Redneck Float of Death"
