World Cup Soccer
USA lost to Ghana on Saturday in the World Cup. Boo Hoo!
Years ago the Coulter's were in Brazil during the World Cup. We took photos from the hotel of the empty streets as we were amazed that the busy city traffic had disappeared. Gun shots and fireworks took the place of traffic noise when Brazil scored a goal.

Beware of Dog
A sign like this meant "beware of the my mean dog" in Brazil. There should be similar signs at the neighbors. The Coulter home is surrounded by barking (and sometimes biting) dogs that don't care for Doug to be outside.

Embu Lady
Years ago Doug took a picture of this lady in the city of Embu outside of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He's always been fond of it and wants to share it with you in the old, and new, fashioned way.
