DJ, "arguing with goat" made me laugh so hard I couldn't see! Just what I needed this morning; thanks!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Arguing with a goat
I found the goats arguments to be very persuasive, well-sourced and logically thought out. I'd like to subscribe to goat's newsletter.

I'm pretty sure this is how last year's collegiate debate competition was decided.

From upthread:
I think the cats are feeling the cooler temps. Me, I just put on long pants and a fleece. Them, they're rolling into tighter balls and burrowing further into the covers or me.
This was my place this weekend. I was too stubborn to turn on the heat, so my cat just got as close to me as possible and balled up. When I finally caved and put on the heat last night, she was on top of her condo ASAP.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do graphic warning labels on cigarette packages really deter people from lighting up?
Maybe the opposite.
Students who were heavy smokers reacted to thoughts of death by taking even harder drags on their cigarettes.
Oh well.

Someone nearby was using their fireplace last night which I think is going a wee overboard, it was only in the 50s.
Target run this morning, yep over $100, but it was three bags worth of stuff including 5 new pieces of clothing for mr. won't stop growing, now in size 12/14 pants.

We turned the heat on yesterday, and within half an hour, got this: [link]

Tennessee County’s Subscription-Based Firefighters Watch As Family Home Burns Down
Imagine your home catches fire but the local fire department won’t respond, then watches it burn. That’s exactly what happened to a local family tonight. A local neighborhood is furious after firefighters watched as an Obion County, Tennessee, home burned to the ground.
The homeowner, Gene Cranick, said he offered to pay whatever it would take for firefighters to put out the flames, but was told it was too late. They wouldn’t do anything to stop his house from burning. Each year, Obion County residents must pay $75 if they want fire protection from the city of South Fulton. But the Cranicks did not pay. The mayor said if homeowners don’t pay, they’re out of luck. [...]
We asked the mayor of South Fulton if the chief could have made an exception. “Anybody that’s not in the city of South Fulton, it’s a service we offer, either they accept it or they don’t,” Mayor David Crocker said.
