And the cat fell in the tub filled with 1" of freezing water.

"Cold water? I don't believe it."
"What, just a conspiracy of plumbers?"
(Argh, I wanted the R&G joke, and this is the best I could come up with.)
Poor Aurelia.
Which cat?
Rosie. She has the grace of a dog.
It's "wintery mix". Oh we hateses nasssty wintery mix.
Well, from where I'm standing, it's just a lot of fucking rain.
Is TWOP down? If so, is it American Idol related?

Poor Rosie. I hope she's recovered.
My commute was a joke this morning. Or a nightmare. I thought I might actually never get out of the subway. More than once I got off the train I was on, because they said the one across the platform would actually leave, only to find that I couldn't squeeze on to that one, only to have the original train I was on leave. I totally should have stayed home. It's really too bad we aren't set up so I can work from home on a whim.
Swiss Accidentally Invade Liechtenstein
According to Swiss daily Blick, the 170 infantry soldiers wandered just over a mile across an unmarked border into the tiny principality early Thursday before realizing their mistake and turning back.
A spokesman for the Swiss army confirmed the story but said that there were unlikely to be any serious repercussions for the mistaken invasion.
"We've spoken to the authorities in Liechtenstein and it's not a problem," Daniel Reist told The Associated Press.
Officials in Liechtenstein also played down the incident.
Interior ministry spokesman Markus Amman said nobody in Liechtenstein had even noticed the soldiers, who were carrying assault rifles but no ammunition. "It's not like they stormed over here with attack helicopters or something," he said.
Liechtenstein, which has about 34,000 inhabitants and is slightly smaller than Washington DC, doesn't have an army.
It's blowing cold air over my keyboard! I may have to put on a sweater.
It's hot today, not a big surprise. But it looks like rain, which would be a plus for me. It keeps sounding worse for us this summer. We had this wonderful hurricane free year and people have made some strides in fixing roofs and cleaning up debris, but the work is not yet done. Now the weather people are pointing to a possible La Nina situation in the Pacific and possible warm waters in the western Caribbean to screw us with bad storms this summer. I still haven't fixed my Wilma damage, and I'm not alone. Don't want hurricanes this year, and certainly the Gulf coast isn't ready for them either.
