It's funny how stories get passed down as fact when they are far from it. This photo is neither a coyote, nor a roadrunner. I have been around both my whole life. It's clearly a German Shepherd, and I am not sure about the bird, but Roadrunners do not fly like that. They rarely fly at all, and when they do it's only short distances, sort of like chickens do.

Anyway, that photo looks awfully familiar, doesn't it? @crazyhounddog

Below is the link to the YouTube video which I previously filmed and which went up on YouTube earlier today after getting permission from the featured artist.

This was the accompanying posted description of the video:

"Elvis Tribute Artist Dan Middleditch performs as Elvis Presley singing "Don't Be Cruel" aboard the inaugural returned to Japan Diamond Princess Cruise Ship cruise. Since its infamous mooring in Yokohama's Tokyo Harbor at the beginning of COVID in February of 2020, the Diamond Princess finally returned again to cruise Japan in March of 2023 and Dan's Elvis tribute performance was the first entertainment offered on the first night of that historical return with public passengers aboard.

For 24 year-old Dan Middleditch this was his first cruise contract and after hearing his performance you will agree it certainly won't be his last and that he has a bright future ahead. You heard him first here!

This is a review from Tammy: "Haha! He got right up to your camera. He really sings like Elvis!" Avid Elvis fan Diane agreed, "He is just like Elvis!""

The link to the YouTube video: (It will advise that you are leaving this website, but no problem as you can easily return.)

‘I was bagging groceries’: Mark Wahlberg visits Quincy Stop & Shop where he used to work as a teen
.
Customers of a Stop & Shop in Quincy were surprised recently when Hollywood star and Boston native Mark Wahlberg bagged some of their groceries at checkout.

The 51-year-old Wahlberg spread some good vibrations during One Boston Week while hugging patrons and posing for selfies while visiting his old stomping grounds.

“Right here, this is where the whole hustle started,” Wahlberg said in a post on Instagram on Tuesday, while standing in the parking lot outside of the Stop & Shop on Newport Avenue.

He said he worked for the supermarket chain in Quincy as a bagger as a teen.

“I was bagging groceries, $3.65 an hour, while I was right up the street getting my driver’s ed,” Wahlberg said while standing in the Stop & Shop parking lot. “Same day I turned 17, I got my driver’s license, I bought a Pontiac (expletive) for $200 from Lappen’s Auto Parts. We’re going to see if I can get my job... if I can get my job back.”

My 1977 Trans Am in 1993 when I first bought it.

My son when he was 5 years old, next to a freshly painted Trans Am in 1996.

The same car in 2007, a few years before I sold it.

What I drive today. Yep, it's my daily driver. Best car I ever had!
