billytea, what are the really stupid ones we saw in Cinci?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Oh, and latest on Teddy -- took more blood tonight. He wasn't happy, but he didn't seriously try to bite or claw anyone, even when the vet had to poke a second leg to get a proper vein.
9.5 pounds, which means he's stable even if underweight (last June, he was around 11.75). His red blood cells are up, but he's still anemic. His prednisone dosage has been cut in half. The rest of the details should be available tomorrow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
TOKYO - A glittering bathtub made of gold worth nearly $1 million has been stolen from a resort hotel, an official said Wednesday.
A worker at Kominato Hotel Mikazuki in Kamogawa, south of Tokyo, notified police that the fancy tub was missing from the hotel’s guest bathroom on the 10th floor, according to a local police official who only gave his surname, Ogawa.
The round tub, worth $987,000, is made of 18-karat gold and weighs 176 pounds.
The tub, flanked by two crane statues, has been a main feature of the hotel’s shared bathroom. Visitors can take a dip in the tub, but it is only available a few hours a day “for security reasons,” the hotel’s Web site said.
Someone apparently cut the chain attached to the door of a small section of the bathroom where the bathtub was placed, but not riveted, and made off with the tub, Ogawa said.

Nice Cover!
Old business from other thread:
Sadly, he was just eliminated on "genetrix" (he spelled it "genatrix").
Oh amrit. I was really pulling for him. He made it to the top 4 in the Canadian Spelling Bee.

Allyson's book should be added to our Powell's Bookshelf, yes? I couldn't figure out how one might do that.
The Powell's affiliate link just takes you to Powells.com which seems odd, like if it is tracking shouldn't it be a longer and unique URL?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
New thread!
Also, yay for Allyson's cover!

I've been thinking a lot about sense memory today. See, I used a new body wash, purported to be sandalwood and cocoa butter. And as I sniffed, I was transported back to summers at Ghost Ranch, showering in Corral Block's community showers. I was recalling how the path to Chimney Rock started behind Corral Block, and the nights I spent up there, wary of falling over the edge. And the hospital surplus beds in Corral Block, and volunteering for daycare duty, and of little Sarah with cerebral palsy. The walk to the caf under the shadow of Kitchen Mesa, the cougars we'd watch prowl its edges, the storms as we climbed the other mesa to the housing above. Dartgrass wars amongst the children of pacifists. Of the blowing cottonwood fluff, and the fresh cut alfalfa. Of the coyotes' howls at dusk from the refuge and the whickering of the horses down past the cantina. Drifting to late night conversations of our parents about Sanctuary and arrests and trials and routes while we bunked in the casitas and teepees. Snapdragons and jello.
Why? Because the fancy Dove body wash smells like Dial, the staple soap found in the community bathroom.
I ought to go back someday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I don't know what's up with that. I guess I should look into it.
