Good morning from Virginia's Blue Ridge. The sun is out, but the 29° is, unfortunately, Fahrenheit. I happened to be smoking my Stanwell Vario Lovat, filled with Pearl of Shibam, when I read Sid's post, from across the wine dark sea.

For those you have visited Greece or a Greek restaurant in their country will know about the Souvlaki-Kalamaki. On the left is how my ancestors were making it back at 1600 BC and on the right how we make it today at 2018 AD, same way of roasting on a spit.

Greetings from Athens-Greece, i read some complaints from fellow pipe smokers that my images are not visible. I use for years the Uploadhouse.com, i can see them every day and the links are working so i don't know what to do. Maybe there is a filter or an add-on that restricts this site from forums, i am confused.

The Greek "Hachiko" passed away

In Heraklion of Crete for years a dog goes to a supermarket waiting across the street for his boss. The dog appears every morning in the Patella super market but his boss has left life. In fact, the dog stays up until the evening and leaves sad and returns to the house where his boss stayed but it's closed and no one is there. According to the petitioners, the owner of the dog died inside the shop from heart attack but the ambulance took him from the back door so the poor dog never saw him carried away.
Since then for 7 years the dog every day makes the same root alone and waiting across the street for his master to come. This year is the 8th but was his last, the poor dog died in that corner at 7th October 2018 refusing to be adopted from someone else or leave his post, for 8 years with loyalty was waiting for the door of the store to open and see his boss.

22 July 1861 Camp Moore, Louisiana, Company I of the 10th Louisiana Infantry Regiment. Among them 6 were fellow countrymen, maybe someone of them in photo is holding a pipe.

A message from Greeks to Americans:

«I feel you California!
I have gone through the loss of my hometown, a place where I created my memories and lived my dreams.
I have felt what it’s like to look around me and not recognize surroundings that were once familiar.
I have felt how it is to be wondering «why?». «And now what?». To wonder what the future will hold . . . or if I can ever even start again..
I have experienced losing everything I took for granted!
But let me tell you , you have to stay strong California!
Because even though you will be feeling, disappointment, bitterness, sorrow and anger -you will find something; and that something will keep you upright.
You will realize that you are not alone, cause many are there to support you.
You will succeed… And by working together, your “Paradise” will rise again.
I feel you California!»

I would like to suggest you a song, although the appearance of the members is funny has nice Nature scenes plus flute-violin-bagpipe. As for the name Marusa we have it here too, it's very common especially in the country some girls called Maruso as an in purpose paraphrase.
