Sid:
I love the serene imagery you reliably provide. Your innumerable pipes, beads, implements and of course your delectable looking coffees and treats are always both pleasing to the eye and comforting to know that you are enjoying it all fully. Keep 'em coming!

Today is a very sad day, i went to feed my red eared turtles and i saw my Packy like this:

At first glance everything looked normal, i tried to feed her (plus the male the Sporilos) but she wouldn't move. This wasn't her behaviour, she was very energetic and standing still is the worst sign.
Her name was ''Packy'' (from the Pac-Man) because was very gluttonous and the latest 10 years was in our house. Was in a big aquarium, fresh water-filter-vitamins-heat lamp-a bridge for standing to dry etc and she was growing with no problems, no sign that was ill or had any issues. And now this? Why? This is not a hibernation, this is sudden Death!
This was her last photo, she looks like is watching me waiting for her morning shrimps. We buried her outside, now Sporilos is alone and makes circles inside the aquarium seeking for his girlfriend.

I tried to smoke Cornell & Diehl Seersucker and drink some coffee but i stopped, no mood.

I am sorry for your loss. I sympathize with you as I too have recently suffered a loss.

That area under the life-expectancy bell curve always insists on 100%. Sooner or later, we and the other living things we care about (as well as those we don't care about) must nod to the curve. For those yet to accede, familiar daily routines and expectations are left incomplete—a void—unfinished sentences.

I acknowledge your grief, @Sid.Stavros.

Will tip one in tribute to Packy, and all those who have gone before. A cheerful memento mori for the rest of us: let's make the best of it

The aquarium is in the right side of my desk, every time i was watching a movie in the pc or reading or i was just smoking my pipe and enjoying my coffee the turtles were watching me especially Packy. Every time i entered the room or got up from the chair she turned her head to me, was watching every move when i was sitting on the desk. Many times i was teasing her with my finger and she was trying to ''bite'' it behind the glass but when i was trying to feed her close to her mouth was very shy. Very often i was laying down my pipe to watch them play of fighting each other for who's gonna bite the biggest piece of meat or fruit.
I consider them as ''pipe smoking companions'' because they never-ever reacted badly to the smoke of the pipe although they olfaction is very sensitive. When my wife was making roast meat in the kitchen although they didn't have any visual contact at all they were making like crazy because they smell (and felt) that extra food is coming. The ''madness-time'' was when my wife was approaching with 2 toasts, the smell of the roast turkey made them splash the water in a phrenitis and they didn't give up till i decide to give them a piece of it.

Here is an older photo of Packy, she is at the top stretching her left leg. I know that Humanity has far more serious problems but i lost my 10+ years pipe smoking companion, i miss her, i still haven't believe it and i know that the future Winter smoking days would never be the same. Thank you all for your kindly words.

Another photo from my latest vacations, Vanilla tobacco, double espresso and kompoloi in a Cafe very close to the beach.

Greetings from Athens-Greece.

There was a confrontation with the waitress because a) i ordered an espresso and not freddo b) she brought the coffee in that ''cheapy'' plastic cup but my wife tried to calm me down and ''let it go'' (in Greece we have it as ''let it go to the Devil'' something like ''what a Hell" in english).

Stanwell Vanilla.

You didn't notice the modification in the pipe? (the custom ring on the shank).
