Flip may be in REAL trouble...

Today I got a very interesting email from the Transportation Security Administration. Seems they are looking for Flip and tracked his emails to me. They wanted to know if I knew his whereabouts. I told them I didn't have a clue, but knew he had been in Maui last month. Steph, you may be contacted due to your comment about him showing up in your closet.


Here is a surveillance photo from LAX that they included. You can see Flip working one of the counters in baggage claim (lower left).

Flop is really depressed. Flip is in trouble with the Feds. I think may push him over the edge.

Aloha from Flip...

ALOHA from the Xterra World Championship course.


Another Email from Flip. Apparently he has been reading James' blog and learned about the World Championships in Hawaii. He is becoming a master at showing up in the craziest places, although Hawaii is not really a crazy place for a Flip. Check him out hangin' with the athletes getting ready for the swim.
He did say that he was kinda bummed that neither Steph or James saw him in the crowd of supporters. But, oh well, at least he was there in person to lend a "foot".

The Shame of it All......

As you can see from the picture below, Flip has not only physically deserted me and Flop, but has has ideologically deserted us as well. I don't know how this could have happened. I thought we three were a team, when all along he was harboring these left wing tendencies. How could I not have noticed?

Flop was desolated by the news. He just mopes around the house and his "sole"ful moans are driving me crazy. I really have to do something about this.

The only thing I can think of is to get him some grief counseling. I'm not really sure if that is at all possible, but with the power of the Internet, I am sure I can find something.

News from Flip

Got an email from Flip. I almost deleted it because it showed up in my spam file. I didn't recognize the email address because he used a library computer. I guess he hacked into their account. The subject was "Hey Flop, Doin' well on the Left Coast", so I immediately opened it. I have no idea how he made his way across the country. He sent this picture of him and his new pals. They're all blue and he is now in a "Blue" state. My worst fears may have come true, he is a "Left Foot Liberal".

Apparently they spend their time hanging out at the beach "Sole Surfing". Check this out !!!

At least he is staying true to his heritage!

Steph may have been right....

Unfortunately, Steph may have been right. Flop may have run away. Check out this article from this morning's paper. Flip-Flops that show your support for your favorite candidate?

I talked to Flop, and he told me that both he and Flip had heard rumors that this was happening. He said that it was like running off to join the circus. If this is the path that Flip has chosen, I only hope that he doesn't support Obama, but he is a "Left" foot.

This is UNBELIEVEABLE..........

Gail came home from grocery shopping yesterday with a surprise for me.

Flop must have been on the computer longer than I thought. It seems he found a website where he could have Flip's picture put on milk cartons. Amazing! I have to do something about this situation soon!

Memorabilia Conspiracy and High Tech Flop......

As I mentioned earlier, I put Flop on "The Man Shelf" in the office. He must have instigated a rebellion of my memorabilia. Apparently the Silver Surfer (a gift form Jake) supplied the muscle. He took the lei (from Otani for my last birthday) off Ron Jon Teddy (another gift from Jake), attached it to the surfboard (from Chris) to slide down to the table. You know that taking the lei from Ron Jon Teddy had to be a "bear".

Once on the table, Flop took one of the lanyards I made for the kayaks, attached it to my tackle box (I had the fishing gear out in preparation for Chris and me going fishing) to slide down to the floor.
Once on the floor, he went to the desk chair and climbed up the the desk.

What I didn't realize is that while was on the "Man Shelf", he could look over my shoulder while I was on the computer. Apparently he is a fast learner. He must have stolen my password and logged onto the Internet. This is what I discovered when I walked into the office.

He was on the Virginia Beach Police website trying to file an MSR (Missing Shoe Report), and also issue an APB for Flop. I don't know what to do now.

Pretty smart for a Flop.

Searching for Flip.....

Since I have called off the search for Flip, Flop has been moping around the house. Yesterday he actually tried to sneak out the dog door. I assume that he was personally going out to look for Flop. As you can see, he almost made it.


I had to find a place for him where he can't get to the door again. The only place I could think of was "The Man Shelf" in the office. Do you think this will keep him put?

The shelf is seven foot off the floor and should keep him from moving around the house. It should also keep him from sneaking out. In addition, he has a place of honor among my other memorabilia.

The Sad Truth.....

Is this pathetic or what ? I came home for lunch and to let the dogs out, and what did I find? Flop had crawled up to the window to look outside for Flip. Sad proof below.

The poor guy can't seem to accept the fact that Flip is gone.

Failed rescue attempt - Flip is gone........

As I mentioned yesterday, I lost one of my Rainbows (Flip) when we went kayaking yesterday. This morning we went back to First Landing Park in an attempt to rescue him from the great outdoors. Our attempt was a failure. Flip was nowhere to be found. I can only hope the someone picked him up and will give him a good home. Flop is heartbroken. His partner of 15+ years is gone forever. We plan to have a ceremony to commemorate the loss and help Flop deal with his grief. Until then, I'll just have to deal with the forlorn looks and lonely sighs. Can you see the forlorn look?

Poor Flop......
