Stalkers!

When Cliff and I head out on our daily walk and look over our shoulders, we have stalkers following us.  Iris, our dog, loves it when we go for a walk, but once we're through the gate, she disappears.  (Click on any picture to make it larger.)

Not these stalker cats!

Oh no, never.  Here they are coming up our most difficult hill.  They go all the way to the bottom with us, then turn around and follow us up.

Wouldn't you think they'd get tired?  Our walk usually lasts thirty-five or forty minutes.

They're still with us, even as we start the final leg of our journey.  After the pond, there isn't far to go.

Right to the last hill, they stalk us.  And when we get back to the house?

They stalk us still.

Later on as I head down the driveway to the mailbox, I look over my shoulder to see unashamed stalkers.

They even stalk Iris.  Oh, the indignity!  Her face tells the tale.

License to Pawn

That's the book I just finished reading.  It's under two hundred pages, and an easy read.  I loved it, but of course Cliff and I are big fans of "Pawn Stars" on the History channel.  I think this book would be interesting for anybody, though.  Rick writes about various experiences he's had running a pawn shop in Las Vegas, and brother, he's had some strange ones.  If you're a fan, you will enjoy the fact that there's chapter devoted to each of the guys on the show (Rick, Old Man, Big Hoss, and Chumley) telling about their growing-up years.  

I checked it out on my Nook from the local library, so you shouldn't have to go buy a copy to read it.  I haven't returned it yet because Cliff's reading and enjoying it.
As a result of the TV show, the gang has T-shirts, bobblehead dolls, and other items of interest to sell on their website.

Can you believe Chumlee souvenirs are the most popular ones?  Seriously, would you want a picture of this guy on your T-shirt?

For the paltry sum of $40, you can have both of these objects.  Go ahead, you KNOW you want them!
