Argh! I fear BatCat!
The long-faced cat three above him is also quite terrifying.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

I'm on the balcony at work, drinking a cold Diet Dr. Pepper and enoying the wireless and the weather.
My life doesn't suck too hard today.

I'm a mean cat-mama right now because we just got back from the vet's office. At least she now has her checkup for the year, her distemper shot, and her semi-quarterly claw trimming out of the way, but boy, she was complaining at full volume all the while! On the way out to the car, I passed by three neighbors and the postman who all looked at the carrier and the loud animal within with pity for both me and her.
And it's strange how the horrible carrier turns into a refuge while we're in the waiting room for the vet. She immediately leapt down from the examining table to the floor and scratched to get into the carrier after the nurse left. It took her a few minutes of the comfy darkness before she ventured out to explore the room and rub her chin against the cabinets. She was on her way to climbing in the sink when the vet showed up.

Uh. One of the Marina City Towers is on fire.

They had a fire there not too long ago that was just a small in-unit fire--is it bad enough to be seen outside the building?

I think it's another in-unit fire. I can see the smoke.

I don't think that Bob Newhart used Marina City for either his office or his apartment, but they are locally known as the Corncob Towers for obvious reasons.

So I managed to get a virus on my work computer today. Every time I tried to delete it or run virus software, the computer would restart. That's fun. I think I may have to ship it off to IT on Monday.
Am home now.
Those cats looked pissed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Haven't seen anything on the Tribune, but this is cool:

Do people know that the US Navy did much of its training of aircraft carrier pilots in Lake Michigan during WWII? They took these old ferries and made little aircraft carriers out of them. The worlds only fresh-water, coal-fired, paddle-wheeled aircraft carriers. If a pilot made a bad landing and went over the side, he'd fall onto a paddle wheel.
