As always it was fun watching all those over-pampered pooches in the first half of the Westminster last night, and it was neat seeing the Airedale place second to that juggernaut Kerry Blue Terrier (which, as you can imagine, is another of my favorite breeds, along with the Blue Tick Bloodhound). It was very disappointing, however, to see that Joe Garagiola's stint on the broadcast has ended. I'm sorry I didn't see a news article on the switch, which was made to boringly coherent Mark McEwen, as it would have allowed for a chance to start a petition on the topic. Oh well, there's always next year. In memory of Buck Laughlin: "Doctor, question that's always bothered me and a lot of people: Mayflower, combined with Philadelphia -- a no-brainer, right? Cause this is where the Mayflower landed. Not so. It turns out Columbus actually set foot somewhere down in the West Indies. Little known fact."
