I would like to live in Zenkitty and Ginger's temperate zone. I have in my head that Bermuda may be the place.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

FWIW, Fay, I drove across country in about four days. Boston to California.

Emmett's team won their first tournament today. It was probably his worst hitting all summer - he didn't hit anything hard in four games. And his pitching was okay, but a little shaky at times. But he played well in the field and scored several times so he wasn't a liability either. He's very happy to have a trophy though.
Next weekend is our last tournament. Then we're done with baseball until February or so.

I would also like to live in Libkitty's narrow temperature range.
Me too. Although perhaps a little colder a couple days out of the year, because I do love a couple days of snow, just not many days and not on the days I have plans.

Live in San Francisco, and go up to Tahoe for a long weekend.
Raq & Suzi - A's look like they're keeping Zito after all. Mets won't part with Milledge.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Ok, question for the pet-owning Bitches hiveming: Ever seen a patch of fur just evaporate from around the injection site after the yearly shots? Harvey went in on Wednesday morning for rabies and a combo - probably a 3-way. Yesterday when I got home from work, he had a spot on his back in between his shoulder blades where the fur was gone - about 3cm by 1.5 cm. There is a small scab which might represent where the needle went in, and a minor amount of irritation. It sure did not look as red as my skin would look if I scratched hard enough to pull hair out. It's in a spot that would be pretty obvious, and both Daniel and I are sure he did not have the bald spot before we left for work on Saturday morning.
I'm guessing that he had some mild reaction or irritation at the site, not too worried about it, and I do plan to call the vet's office tomorrow morning. The little I can find about common, minor side effects of feline vaccines does not mention this, but I am not confident that I am finding out complete information.
And of course, the black, back of my head worry is that if he has a mild reaction to this year's shots, can I expect him to have a bad reaction to next year's?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If I like cloudy, cool weather, that rarely gets below 40F or above 75F, and I like the company of intelligent, educated people and interesting things to do, and I want to stay in North America, where should I live?
This was pretty much my mission statement and why I chose San Francisco. Seattle and Portland would also have fit, but SF seems to have an even narrower temperature range than those two, if weather.com is to be believed.The lows rarely go under 40 in Portland but the highs are usually 80 for bits of the summer. So it might be a bit too warm for you. Right now it is partly overcast and partly sunshiney and 69 degrees. Freak heatwaves and personal pollen issues aside, I love this city.
And my range was specifically "no snow" because I only like to visit the white stuff and then only when I get to ski.
We don't have quite the earthquake probabilities here but we do have nearby volcanos so there are still tectonic considerations, zenkitty.
Pollen issues? Well, Kleenex doesn't make a tissue soft enough today. Heh. Puppycat is sneezing too. Scares herself every time it happens too.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Andi, that happened to Mac (one of our dogs) once. I didn't notice it right away and she ended up with a small, fluid filled cyst at the site. But it was no biggie to have it removed. Just keep a close eye on it. It never reoccurred with Mac--it was just the one time. She never suffered any other ill effects from her vaccinations. Definitely call your vet just in case.

I would at least keep self-inflicted mutilation as an option, especially if the injection site itched.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't mind temps inching up into the low 80s if they don't plan to stay. Nearby volcanoes freak me out too, but I have the irrational belief that I/my pets/science could predict one of those better than an earthquake, and I'd have time to get the hell out. Also, I have virtually no pollen issues.
All righty, so Portland's on my list too then. I thought it might be.
