R.I.P. No-No

They had to put Nuria's dog of twelve years done today. He had been sick for a while and it had gotten worse here over the past couple of months. Nuria has had dogs her entire life and he was the best and her favorite. Here is their last pic together from the beginning of the summer.

We made it back down to Murcia this afternoon and will spend a couple days here before heading to the beach. Overall, Sitges was a good little trip. The beaches are really nice but there was just too many people there. I'll post a couple pics here in a few.

Castedefels

We went to another beach about 15 mins away this.afternoon. The town/beach is called Castedefels.

And then there were two

Yeaterday we took one of the fish back because it would not stop bothering the other ones. He had the other fish stressed and he had to go. Well today our first fish we bought died. Nothing physically appeared wrong so I think it was the stress from the other fish. So our tank will be a little empty until September when I will get more more fish and my shrimp!

At my favorite beach in España, la Carolina. Great beach with a great name!!

My favorite comedian, Dave Chappelle, performed two shows in Knoxville and apparently we were a terrible crowd. I've read that the audience was terrible in at least one of the shows and ok in the other. Dave summed up the experience with this quote, 'I brought the fine China, but you want the paper plates.' I guess we can't have anything nice. http://www.knoxville.com/news/2013/jun/26/dave-chappelle-performs-knoxville/

I had my last class yesterday so now I will have time to watch all the movies I've been wanting to see. I also went and shot around for about 30-45 mins yesterday morning so that was good. I hadn't touched the ol' roundball in quite some time.

Here is the wikipedia entry for Murcia. It's worth a look to find out some information about where I live. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murcia

Back at the beach for the weekend.
This is the view from the living room.

First trip back to the beach this year!

This is amazing...

Happy Father's Day to my Pops and all the other father's out there!!!

89 degrees in our apartment right now. The fish might actually boil this summer.

Here is a pic of the Bentley except the one we saw was black. Just a cool $300,000+ car. Nothing special.

I am, and will always be, an Audi man but the Bentley I saw yesterday is making all the Audis I see look a little sad. I don't even know what kind it was but I will try to find it on the internet.

It's about to go down...

All paperwork taken care of. Now lunch, rest and The Lion King tonight.

Sad story about a Dutch couple that was killed here a couple weeks ago. http://www.euroweeklynews.com/news/spain/item/114510-dutch-volleyball-player-killed-by-blow-to-head-in-murcia

We have been missing our newest and smallest fish for a couple days. After a very up close look at the inside of the filter, I found him.

This always makes me laugh. It also happens to be true.

Well I can't really complain about my allergies. Nuria has been in bed since last night because her back is messed up. Her doctor had to send a nurse to the apartment to give her a couple shots. She can barely get out of bed.

These allergies are kicking my butt

Happy Memorial Day everyone!! We will never forget those that gave their lives ,and those sacrificing their lives now, for our country!!

I got a retweet from Muggsy Bogues! It's the small things that can make you happy, happy, happy.

This picture brings back so many great memories of being a young Hornets fan. And of course Muggsy and LJ were my favorite players but even bringing back the old colors, I don't think I could be a fan these days.

Here is the web address to our friend's website. He is the one that made the video with us in it and we also sho up in a couple photos. THe video is called Everyday Routines and I posted it on here a couple weeks ago. Photos of Nuria and I are in the part called Psycho and we are the last two. http://www.fabricafotografica.com/

I recommend taking 20 mins and watching this video. http://www.upworthy.com/this-kid-just-died-what-he-left-behind-is-wondtacular-rip

Prayers for those in Oklahoma.

Finally got a couple guys in the tank but already lost one though. Don't know if he was sick when we bought him or if it was something from our aquarium. I made sure he had a full stomach before he left this world.

Interesting places all over the world that are definitely worth a look. http://www.dailygood.org/story/432/11-unbelievable-places-that-are-hard-to-believe-really-exist-bored-panda/
