If you hold out a pointy finger at cat nose-height chances are about 88% that the cat will come "touch noses" with your finger.

And I've had the 12% of cats that take it as a threat (well, 3 of them.) Fastest way to get them bigeyed and twitchy!

Last time I went to the Mall fireworks, I ran into 3 people I hadn't seen in 5 or so years. And when I knew them? It wasn't in DC or B'more. In the midst of a million people. Crazee.

I really socked in this morning. Just didn't want to get up. So I didn't! I can be all early riser productive tomorrow.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

This is even more fun when you've shuffled your feet across a synthetic carpet before hand.

Winter. Cat and I both yelp (she sniffs my nose.) If she's on top of the tv, the picture blerps.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

do not call the American Embassy and ask to have them "taken into custody."

That's almost as silly as the lady who called 911 from the Burger King drive-thru to demand that a police officer be sent to make them get her order right.

One of the cats I had back in Colorado was a long-haired tortoiseshell who actually liked it when you helped discharge her static build-up. She liked long strokes from nape to tail-tip, and you could feel the crackle following your hand. With the lights out, you could see it, too. Amazing.

This, on a very long-haired Himalayan. He's much smaller than he was.

Pictures! Not that I want to laugh at your poor kitty or anything...

Always Anti-fascist!

My old Persian looked cute in her lion cut, imo. My brother felt like you, though.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! Teacup Guy is being so good to me. If the Red Sox can somehow manage to win this game, it'll be a perfect day.
