    Poor Scooter, with hearing waaaay better than humans, that has to be really hard to deal with. Besides, he tried to play fetch with one of those cannon balls and nearly broke his teeth.

    Scooter knows that discretion is the better part of valor.

    Scooter needs to be going in the opposite direction—behind the cannon. Mattresses not being cannon-proof.

    Although St. Patrick’s Day is for the amateur Irish, and most professional drinkers Irishmen stay ta home, I’m making an exception today and will be buying drinks for one and all at the Tiki today and your all invited to a special St. Pádraig’s Party on my galleon The Irish Rover® this evening.

    A note to the traditionalists :I will not be serving a New England boiled dinner ( corned beef and cabbage ) aboard ship but will be offering true Irish dishes, including lamb stew, homemade soda and treacle breads, prawns, smoked Atlantic salmon, a roast of beef and many, many other dishes that my excellent ship’s chef ( he hates to be called a cook ), Juan Garcia O’Malley, is preparing, as we speak.Needless to say there’ll be plenty of Guinness and good Uisce beatha ( Water of Life – Irish whiskey )

    Sláinte !

    Scooter is probably headed for the doggy door out back, to join Margaret for a hunker in the bunker.

    It’s not just the noise, for Scooter…even though he learned to stop chasing bullets…he doesn’t know a way to improve Carl’s aim.

    And a few pints of green beer for lunch today, with his Sons of Ireland Shooting and Crochet Club, really don’t help!

    Just in case it was unclear…. Carl’s club.Scooter’s shooting is mostly the Western sort….He does belong to the Ballard County Canine Cowboys and Canasta Club…. Where he shoots a Colt 45 cap pistol….but, surprisingly, they don’t allow cannons.

    Rose and Bev, the banana fabric is very popular, I think it could make for good curtains at the Tiki. We can offer fringes made from the banana strings but we are looking for a more durable option.
