Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Speaking of Craiglist-- why are all entertainment center's hideously ugly? New, used, inexpensive or expensive, they are all terrible looking to me. I know this is partially because I can't stand "oak" grained things, or really anything that is "fake wood" AND I don't like black lacquer AND I don't like real wood that is "country- style", but still...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Bob-whites of the Glen were totally the Gossip Girls of their day. Except suburban and goody-goody.
Heh. It's a little 90210, with the contrast between the fabulously wealthy and the just regular. Also, in retrospect, I totally thought they were out in the country, but probably not, huh?

Just in time for me to go back to work, my dog appears to have gotten over her 48 hours of diarrhea. Woot. I'm sure eating three meals in a row of white rice doesn't hurt.
In other news, apparently Roxana Saberi has been released by the Iranian government! That's excellent news.

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

Well, Bobby did get bitten by a cottonmouth or something (and Trixie had to suck the venom out), so they had to be kind of in the country. I always thought they somehow lived on a nature preserve (didn't they go patrolling for poachers ?)

“Not dead yet!”
Trixie was a young teen living just outside the fictional town of Sleepyside-on-Hudson, in the Hudson River Valley area of New York. She lived at Crabapple Farm, which had been in her family for either three or six generations (this varies between books), with her parents and three brothers, Brian, Mart, and Bobby. The first book establishes her friendship with lonely, sheltered rich girl Honey Wheeler whose family has just moved into the Manor House next door and soon the girls are embroiled in their first case.

Oh yeah -- there were definitely woods, right?

Good lord, people! Now I'm going to have to go home and re-read my Trixie Belden books!
