    Many apologies for not having an episode in a few weeks. I had to humanely euthanize my dog, Casper, a few weeks ago. he had cancer. I have been struggling without him. He was my best "Little Buddy". Rarely was I seen without him (usually he was just 2 or 3 steps behind me) We covered thousands of Miles together over the eastern United States and I'll miss him terribly. The best friend a man could have!
