The rain is starting to change to snow here.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
This snow thing ain't right.

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.

Switch and Cortez play fight a lot, and it only occasionally gets ugly. When it does, I can usually stop it just by clapping my hands and shouting, "Enough." I realized there's no way I'd bring another cat into the mix, even though the two of them will also just as frequently curl up and sleep together, and groom each other.
The power keeps flickering. Snow is bad enough, but if the power goes out I'm going to be cold and BORED.
