Hu-Dad Visiting Cousins Ruby & Tartok

Hu-Dad traveled to the other side of the valley visiting cousins Ruby and Tartok and, of course, our Hu-Grandmom at her house.

Cousin Tartok

Hu-Grandmom might have prepared her famous lasagna, but we are sure Hu-Dad’s real reason for his visit was to see our Sibe-Cousins. Tartok has his own personal man cave – a hidey spot under some Catawba Rhododendron – where he can monitor all of the people and critters who wander by their house. Tok gave our Hu-Dad a full run-down on all of those happenings – and scored some ear scratches as a reward.

Ruby, of course, complained mostly about Tartok and how hard it is to have a brother around the house. Kiska and Cheoah sympathize with Ruby.

Boys. Such a pain.

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend

June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.

A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.

Enjoy it your way
