One of the residential streets I drive to work had reddish tree dandruff all over the road earlier this week.

I recovered all my Mary Kay business stuff back to the end of 2005 but I lost all my 2006 stuff

Yay, ChiKat, that you got most of it back! I hope the rest of the recovery wasn't so bad (did you get most of your portfolio back, too?). I must call you this weekend to see if we can get together sometime during your week off.

Now my cat is perched on the entertainment stand next to the TV, yowling at the books in frustration because she can't jump on the bookshelf and knock things off.

Why can't she? Did you block it? I find it hard to believe that cat can't jump on anything she wants.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I really don't like CFL light, generally speaking. It's too cool and pink or something

They make them in a much wider range of color temperatures now (and by "now" I literally mean I've only started seeing them within the past few weeks), so it's easier to find ones that match traditional tungsten lighting.

I heard that IKEA has some, although I couldn't find them on their site.

IKEA's CFLs are a really weird shape and don't fit very well in most lamps. (Even lamps I bought at IKEA, which is doubly irritating.) On the plus side, they are really cheap.

I've got all the shelves full of books except for the second-to-the-top one, which has all my breakables on it. That's the one she wants access to, and she can't reach it for love or money (which was the whole point). She loves to knock things off of shelves, including pulling books off of them (she's currently scratching at my bottom shelf of SF books to yank them off). She was just on top of my computer hutch, scratching at a picture frame which I stopped her from knocking over.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They make them in a much wider range of color temperatures now (and by "now" I literally mean I've only started seeing them within the past few weeks), so it's easier to find ones that match traditional tungsten lighting.

In my living room I had two incandescent bulbs. One burned out so I replaced it with a CFL light. The contrast in color between the two was annoying - the tungsten one had a very noticable color when next to the CFL light. Recently the other tungsten bulb burned out, so I bought more CFL bulbs and replaced the burned out one. Now, I still have the exact same color problem, as the new CFL bulb has almost the exact color of the tungsten bulb.

OK, I just have to put both new CFL bulbs in, and put the older white one someplace else, but still....

Oh, man I remember that from Atlanta. You just don't see that in the North. They go on about pollen counts here and I just laugh and luagh.

It was a record 5,937 pollen particles per cubic meter of air yesterday. "Extremely High" is more than 120.

Hec, I assume you've seen this, right? And this?

Awww, you're so thoughtful. I am familiar with that site but they've had a makeover (so to speak) and it looks much better now.

I love Lori Petty. She's so freakin' CUTE in Tank Girl. I even watched all four episodes of her sitcom when it was on.
