It looks like we will be going up Saturday to pick up Sherman. It promises to be a wet rainy day in Southern Florida. Dad's not thrilled with driving in the rain, but Sunday doesn't seem much more promising. We are excited in many ways with the idea of training a new collie. We will hopefully get to see our DWB cyber-paw pals Jake and JH.
Earlier today Dad and I took a trip in the WABAC machine. We went back 75 years ago to the Berlin Summer Olympics Games. The Olympic Games were played from 1 - 18 August, and Grand Paw was only 17 years old back then. The hero for the US was Jesse Owens, who put on an amazing show, winning four gold medals. About three years after those Olympics, the world went mad and went to a very, very dark place.
Jesse Cleveland Owens was born in Oakville, Alabama in 1913. His family moved to Cleveland, Ohio when he was nine. He went to school in the Cleveland area and went to college at Ohio State University, where he earned the nickname the "Buckeye bullet." This all makes us wonder. Do you think Jesse was a Cleveland Indians fan?
Looking forward to what tomorrow will bring.
