There are a few poems I have written. This is one of them:

• Ballad of the Puppy Grendel by Bonnie Dalzell 1977�
It was the puppy Grendel, came bouncing o'er the green.
�Fleetfooted puppy Grendel, the fairest ever seen.
�All striped as the tiger, his flowing tail held high.
�It was the puppy Grendel, bouncing 'neath the summer sky.
�The joyous puppy Grendel, a looking for a chase.
�Boldly puppy Grendel dared the wind to a race.��Up to the puppy Grendel a worn old hound did come.
�"Wait! puppy Grendel. You are to young to run!"
�Wide grinned the puppy Grendel."Oh ancient hound", laughed he
�"How can you look upon me and say what's not to be?
�How can you look upon me, my legs so slim and strong,
�And say I am not ready to course the wind along?"��Up spake the ancient hound again, and many a course he'd done,
�"Oh wait you puppy Grendel, the wind's the hardest run.
�The wind will stay before you throughout the day so long.
�The wind will stay before you though you run the night to dawn."��So wait you puppy Grendel, course now the wolf and deer,�
And play with fellow Borzoi while the sun sits high this year.�
The wind's the final quarry that all fine coursers run

For when it lies before you you'll not see another sun.��The wind's the final quarry. It flies before you still�
You'll follow it through dark of night past every earthly hill.
�It's granted to the Borzoi when his limbs grow stiff and old
�To finally take the challange, again to run as bold
�After the only quarry that truely tests his skill
�So wait you, puppy Grendel, before you seek that kill."��Through this the puppy Grendel sat with a wondering eye�
And then he turned quite quickly and glanced up to the sky�
"Oh wait you then, you ragged wind, oh wait you by and by�
For I will course you down some day, that's neither dream nor lie!�
But I shall go out now and play beneath the summer sky."

As some of you may have heard we have a ship hit bridge disaster in the Baltimore harbor. I have lots of good links to factual articles. I discovered that there Maritime websites with non political definitive articles.
There is a discussion going on among politicians about wether the federal government should bail out Maryland for the multibillion recovery cost. This accident does not just have local effects. Baltimore is the main import export for the automobile industry among other trade items.

Well what I saw in mainstream news is no discussion of the fact that these cargo ships are insured and that according to this linked article most if not all of the damage should be covered. So the federal and Maryland government will be repaid for short term relief money. Includes bridge, cost of freeing up ship and economic loss to businesses and individuals. Marine insurance seems pretty awesome.

Britannia, the insurer of container ship the Dali, is working with the vessel's owner and U.S. authorities on the investigation into…

Ofbsoruce chips in the upper pasture. The drive way is swept clean of spruce parts and needles. Mike’s estimate came in at 1/3rd of the estimate from the tree company. Wow. Still have a bit of fence fixing to do.

The kennel business phone line gets LOTS of spam and phising calls because I can’t set it to ignore numbers not in my phone book. It is a business number and new clients may call. Recently I have been getty many calls for “ Cheryl” about updating the service contract on her 2015 Mercedes. We are not Cheryl and the only Mercedes we ever had was in the early 200’s. It was a lemon, had a problem that triggered a recall and we traded it in on a Hylander long time ago.
So when this morning’s call came for Cheryl, I told the real person
“Cheryl died in a car accident that totaled the Mercedes. “
Caller said “Thanks I will update the account”. And hung up rather than trying to get me to buy a service contract on some other car I might own.

Yesterday I was told that Leigh Litttleton, a long time Borzoi owner and a person very important in ASFA lure coursing passed away. I knew him and his wife Vickie for a long time. I would like to assemble remembrances of Leigh to send to Borzoi and Lure coursing social media and to be presented at the ASFA convention
and to give to BCOA.
Any remembrances posted that I have permission to use will be fully credited to their authors. Pictures of Leigh and his dogs would be appreciated.
Leigh was an intelligent and gentle person who loved Vickie and his Borzoi and I am sorry that my house fire followed by covid caused me to not see him in the last few years.

I have trouble doing a video of this We do a lot of ear skritches of the Zois lately I am seeing a behavior “cell phone jealousy”.
The dog (especially Argo) sees me typing on the cell phone and so he comes poking his head between the cell phone and my hand so I pet him rather than the cell phone.
