ION, just had a very nice time at our block party -- the first of two this summer! It is pretty nice to stand around and chat outside, and probably even better for the parents because the kids just hung out with each other! I hope it was best for the neighbor whose nephews are staying with her for a couple of weeks, because I bet she didn't know the other people with kids.

We've just returned our friend's dog to him after a long weekend where he was in one state, his wife in the other. The dog is adorable but spent all indoor time camped out in front of the door waiting for them to come back. We went for a LOT of walks.

And now the house seems very quiet indeed. DH and I are missing our old pup a lot. And HPF is making a new list of arguments for new dog. Not gonna happen in the short term, but maybe in the long.

Ugh, everything today tasted too sweet, from cereal to dinner. Then I remembered I haven't had any True Fizz today, and the Lime is especially good for clearing the taste buds out.

Starsky, Hutch, I'm not saying not to investigate a given crime, but when you warn the target in danger and she slips you anyway, maybe that doesn't have to be the most important thing on your desk. Since your job is to get me emotionally involved in the crime and its resolution, after all. I'm already giving you mad conflicting points for the striped tomato.

Is the Fresh and Light noticeably lighter to haul around?

I don't have any trouble lifting it and I'm not particularly strong, YMMV of course. I feel like a comparable amount is not as heavy as A&H and does the job just as well.

Oh, old school Starsky and Hutch? I've wondered if I've dared rewatch those.

I've never watched Starsky & Hutch. There was about a decade where television pretty much never happened. Likely S&H was in that time period. There are lots of series on DVD now that I have never seen even a single episode. Most are in the probably 'didn't miss anything' category.

eta: don't know if Starsky and Hutch are in that category. Might have to be on my retirement viewing list.

I loved old school Starsky&Hutch. I haven't watched it since its original run, though, I don't know how I'd like it now!

Thanks, Zen. I think I will try to get over to Petco tomorrow and hope they have multiple options I can compare.

I'm not sure what magic I am even looking for, maybe I'll know it when I see it. But I need rabbit food anyway and I have Petco reward $ to spend.

I don't know how it compares in weight to others, but I like the modestly named World's Best Cat Litter. It's made from corn cobs, I think.

Starsky and Hutch were my first slash, and I didn't even know slash existed back then.
