Now tagless for your comfort.

Every morning I get to see what Owen was up to on the computer. This morning I found open tabs to Youtube and some Gumby video. The other open tab was Wikipedia. Owen looked up Art Clokey.

I swear that boy could home school himself.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The rain is starting to change to snow here.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

This snow thing ain't right.

hip deep in pie

Snow is most often wrong. October snow is an abomination.

Now tagless for your comfort.

October snow mucks up Halloween.

Because books.

The cats are fascinated, though. The snowflakes are so giant. Cortez is in front of the window, completely baffled and curious.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

So, the other night *I* made grilled cheese & tomato soup for dinner, and burned the grilled cheese (this is why Tim makes the grilled cheese instead of me, but he was disassembling the drill press that night).

The smoke detector didn't go off that night, so I just asked Tim to test it. He reached into the depths of the credenza and pulled out an incense stick (a heretofore unknown incense stick; color me unsurprised). He lit it and stood under the smoke detector and waved it. The alarm went off immediately.

"Well," I said, "we know no hippies will break in."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am very, very sorry for everyone who is being snowed on. And glad it's not me.

OK, floors cleaned. I want to shampoo the carpet, but think I'll run the errands first before the weather gets any worse. Luckily, don't have to go anywhere that snowpocalypse-shopping is happening.

Devi cornered Pumpkin behind the bookcase and was swatting at her. Oddly, the only blows that were successfully landed were Pumpkin's. Tufts of Devi fur everywhere. Pumpkin got over it fast, but I've got to keep them separated when I'm not around. Thus I have a bungee cord to hold the door closed...

Also, I appear to have a mild cold. I think I've had it about a week. I thought it was just odd hours, but....nope. Blowing my nose just too often.
