Stogies and Doggies

I love this photo.

Okay... so I wasn't stuck out on the prairie looking at a map of New South Wales... and yeah... the cigar wasn't lit. I still love it.

Betty took this picture in our back yard as part of a multi-media presentation I was putting together for the Pookster. The jacket is a authentic Drizabone (tm) I bought in Australia and the hat is a cattlemen's Akubra (tm) I got the same day.

Now, I ask you... how often am I going to get opportunities to wear them now that I'm back in the States? Halloween only comes once a year and they're far too valuable to wear to bed everynight.

So forgive this obvious act of self-promotion... I love this photo. Any comparisons to Clint Eastwood are gratefully accepted.
