"Great watch dogs if you mean do they bark when someone approaches, but they are too small to offer much actual protection. Unfortunately Westies do not know they are small dogs. They think of themselves as Great Danes."

"Thanks for the comment Bill. I always worry that some of my posts are too long. I guess I am close to the oldest followers of Older and Bolder as I am in my mid 70's. Most seem to be a good deal younger like you. Art"

Seattle in April

Posted on March 28, 2009 at 6:58am 2 Comments

Hey All,

I'm 60 and will be retiring Aug 1st, '09. I can't wait, but anixous as well. Originally from the south side of Chicago, I'm looking forward to seasonal work that allows me to stay in a Nat'l Park for the whole season so I can go out and hug a tree in the morning.
