Biscuit has his picture taken a lot with out of town visitors who have no knowledge of the "LR", they just want a picture with him. We were in Fishtown earlier when two ladies walked up behind the Jeep just as I was to back up. I watched them in the mirror waiting for them to clear when they pulled a camera from a purse and took a picture of Biscuit who was in the back seat looking out. Then one of the ladies walked up and posed with Biscuit for a picture and then exchanged places for another photo shoot. They finally walked off and we were on our way, only to be greeted by this family from Wisconsin at the post office. Many of the people we meet know about Daisy running away and Biscuit entering our lives and being a "story teller".... it's kinda... like asking for a drink of water and getting Niagara Falls.

	From sunriseside on 7/20/2010 Not many people on beach. Next week looks like a weather winner.
	From Trisha H in Las Vegas on 7/20/2010 Wish I was there!!!
	From Tryna on 7/20/2010 Lovely !!!
	From Wally....Northport on 7/20/2010 In that case, it's a complement to say, Mr. Keith, you're all wet!
	From theMar on 7/20/2010 You ROCK, Wally!!! ;D
	From LelandJo on 7/20/2010 Shanty Aid is coming up soon....July 29th, 7 to 9 PM.... What a great time with wine, food and wonderful people assisting Fishtown Preservation Society in keeping this wonderful community asset in great condition for all to enjoy. Order your tickets today by calling (231) 256-8878.
	From lelandheights on 7/21/2010 Don't worry Maximus. Between your "Private" parking and your families use of the "Public" access it's pretty hard to find a way to access the beach.
	From Bill Hahn Down South near Chelsea on 7/20/2010 The dog days of May have stretched long into the summer but Leland has just so much to offer.
	From davidb on 7/20/2010 Hey Editor, I need your advice concerning dog halters.
	From maximus on 7/20/2010 Van's sure does look inviting. It's unfortunate that North Beach is suffering through the pall of an influx of rare, but still stinging, fresh water jellyfish. Best stick to the beaches south of the harbor.
	From The Leland Reporter on 7/21/2010 Not to mention the sharks.
	From Jeff in Paw Paw on 7/21/2010 Great shot of Vans beach, just as I remembered it.
	From Diane on 7/21/2010 Brings back good memories of swimming there on a windier day. That was alot of years ago. Thanks.
