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

What do people think of the paint on this house?

Leopard House

I kind of like it.

Our wings are not tired.

It is a great fun game. How can any cat resist.

Also, for the record, cutting an apple in slices and spreading peanut butter on them with a little plastic knife is very challenging. Note to self, the next time you bring an apple to the office also bring a real knife.

Nice house, Flea! I like the windows and wood floors.

Oh yes, I think there is a lot to like about the house. Many nice details.

What do people think of the paint on this house?

I don't know. I think it would get old quickly. I see the side isn't painted that way. Maybe to spare the neighbors. We have quite a number of houses painted with fun colors and so forth, particularly in the Keys. Mine have generally been boring.

So, does anyone know anything about Kalamazoo, MI? There's a job opening there that looks right up my alley. But I don't really know from southwestern Michigan except that there's a strong conservative Christian element, which isn't my thing. But the Wikipedia entry on Kalamazoo shows Pride flags, and there's a Unitarian Universalist congregation, which seems promising.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Lawn guy came. He'll be back Monday to do the work and I should have an empty flower bed in the backyard, about 5-7 over grown scraggly shrubs should be gone. I should go take before pictures.

pets have been to the vet - it was a struggle this morning and I have battle wound, but we are dine. now to wash the dog and the put stuff up on craigslist, free cycle, and ebay. My goal is at least 5 listings with 2 of them being the bikes.

Calli, my best friend's husband grew up in Kalamazoo, and I am pretty sure his elderly parents live there. Let me know if I can put you in touch.

mr. flea has been in the house and would like to announce that the kitchen is truly hideous; the shingles on top of the cabinets LIFT UP for STORAGE. And the house in general has layout problems with a lot of space wasted in hallways. I honestly couldn't get his take on it. And there were other people waiting outside to see it. Hopefully the kitchen will shock them into fleeing.

What do people think of the paint on this house?

I like it! The way the trim picks up the brown outlining the spots really works for me.

I'm not fully embracing the day of rest today, but I'm not pushing myself to get things done, either. Run the dishwasher a few times, maybe get some clean laundry put away, that'll probably be about it for the rest of the day.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, the neighbors must love them.

shrift may have an opinion on Kalamazoo.

Those side yards look very narrow. I'd bet it's much harder to paint the sides than the front, just in terms of maneuvering ladders around.
