Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Smooth jazz helps pacify the squirrels in my head so I can get stuff done, though. It does have its uses.

Smooth jazz seems to irritate the squirrels in my head until they shout "Kill! Kill! Kill!" like in Alice's Restaurant.

Only talk radio (non-right wing) calms the sqirrels

I wonder if milage might run high compared to other used cars.

I think that could definitely vary. I've always heard that a rental car would be more reliable just because they are regularly maintained.

One thing to keep in mind is that Enterprise is run on a franchise system (which is why they generally have a greater variety of makes and models), so it will really depend on that particular branch more than with other rental car companies.

Since cars are under discussion. I know someone considering replacing their 20 year old car, which they drive about 1200 miles a year. In spite of low mileage, they drive it a few times a week, just not far. So they need reliability. What they don't need is decent mileage. In fact they could live with gas mileage that really sucks even if gas goes up to $10 per gallon, as long as they can get a good safe cheap-to-insure reliable car at a low or moderate price. If they live with gas mileage that sucks is a bargain possible on good used cars. Also it can have some miles on it as long as it has 50,000 comparatively low maintenance miles remaining.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sophia, I love you, and we have much in common. But it's a good, good thing we don't work in proximity. The squirrels and I would be chewing through the cage bars, subjected to talk radio for more than seconds. In fact, I withdrew my support from our local public radio station and wrote them a letter detailing why when they went all-talk, all the time.

Of course you work with your hands and can listen to words. I work with words, and I can't even have music with lyrics playing, or I get confused between the words I'm hearing and the words I'm trying to read or write.

Brains are nifty things. Confusing and scary, but nifty.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Because books.

We have sunshine, too! It's lovely.

And I'm frigging BOUNCING because my editor sent me the book trailer they made for Cold Kiss, which she completely forgot to tell me they were doing, so I was shocked. It's SO cool! And I can't share it yet!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm in the multimedia room of PS230 while Dylan finishes up his second day of pre-k. Y'all, I have a kid in SCHOOL.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

How can you have a kid in school? Unpossible.

Bev, I thought about you this morning whilst folding sheets (smelled lovely from being line dried). I will never ever learn the skill you have for making the fitted sheet anything other than a clumpy mess.
