The Justin Timberlake/Tiger Woods sports bar/cinema complex had a 'select' opening night. I try to go in but don't pass the door mans 'cool dude' style test. Having an invitation might have helped. Being under 25 and dressed from head to toe in black might also have been useful. I shall return tomorrow to take photos in something more youthful and hipster like than burgundy cords and a tweed jacket.
Today, there are patches of blue in the sky but the weather front has now been given a name - 'Storm Amy'. Wind speeds have been upgraded to 90 mph. You've got to feel sorry for the organizers of the golf tournament - the weather gets them every time. Not even the sturdiest of Scottish golfers will be out playing in 90 mph winds and what the Fisher Island folk will think of this doesn't bear thinking about. Everyone is hoping praying that the winds will trend to the north and leave us alone. Will the marquees and bleachers still be standing tomorrow ?

I'm unsure what you're questioning re the article on studying pariah dogs. I know one fellow who studies the "Indog", and is part of a group hoping to preserve the true genetic line (IE, avoiding interbreeding with domestic) for exactly the sort of reasons suggested. There is a distinct tribal quality to those dogs...a sort of nobility, if left to themselves.
If it's the numbers you wondered at, then don't. Vast majority of the world does not see dog as pet. YAM xx
The article about dogs reminded me of what I've learned from reading posts by Niall Harbison, who cares for street dogs in Thailand. The dogs seem to fall into different categories - some are part of mutually supportive packs, some associate themselves with people, stores or temples, some are loners, etc. If a dog is sick or injured, he will sometimes take them in for care, and while some will quickly adapt to a more comfortable life with humans, others become stir-crazy and just want to get back to their wild life.
A friend of mine spends her free time away from the operating theatre caring for street dogs in India. She has taken in a couple as pets and they have lived happily with her for some years. Not all will adapt, of course.
I would have let you in, they don't know you are famous with tens-of-thousands of followers.
I’m disappointed that the bouncers/gate keepers at the Woods/Timberlake opening didn’t recognize a local celebrity!

Thank you but we try to maintain a modicum of modesty !
