Three debates down, one to go. Lots of late nights for moi! I liked hearing Barry growl last night — though howling would have been even better. My personal opinion? He kicked Seamus’s dad’s butt. Of course, it didn’t hurt having that Candy lady on our side. Actually, I thought both candidates looked kind [...]
Mrs. Beagle Man thought the veep did real well last night, holding down the fort while Barry licked his wounds and got ready for next week. “Sort of Biden his time?” B-Man said. They both thought this was a riot. The thing that impressed me was what a great guy old Joe is. I’ve always [...]

Anyone watch the whole debate last night? I listened all day to the analysis on CNN and Fox News (I like to hear what the elephant-guys are thinking) — and then I fell asleep one minute in, right after Mitt wished Barrack and the Mrs. a happy anniversary! Damn! I do enjoy my sleep: I [...]
It’s a good thing we’re almost back in CT, because I’m just about at the end of my leash. I think by now most of you have recognized my Roof Rack Reports as an attempt to establish my independence, and to distance my astute political commentary from Beagle Man’s numbskull ramblings about sports, music, and [...]
So there’s this item about Nikka the Drug-Sniffing Dog in the Huff Post “Weird News” section on Wednesday. I didn’t see it until a couple of days later, because Beagle Man was hogging the laptop. Turns out this Nikka lives in Vaughn, New Mexico. We passed through Vaughn on Wednesday — probably just about the [...]

We’re heading back east! I get to see Luz in less than a week! Although, honestly, they didn’t treat me too shabby in the Loews Santa Monica. Everybody made a huge fuss over me — even though I made them shampoo the rug in our room at least once a day. Wear a purple bandage [...]
