I'm always reminded of "Cold Comfort Farm" - the water voles will get you!
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Hatta tends to take out mourning doves - we found a little cemetery behind the bushes. If I ever see a bluebird I'm going to have to consider grounding her.

No worries Beverly, I habitually carry antibacterial Wet Ones wipes in my pocket and swabbed the punctures out almost as soon as they were made. Then washed my hands well and applied Neosporin once I returned home.
My World Lit professor in college had her forearm swell up like a frankfurter from a cat bite and had to have it lanced, so I've always been aware of how dangerous those can be.

My sister's cat once bit me and the bite ended up infected. I had to go to the emergency room, get IV antibiotics and a prescription for pills to take. It was short-term painful - and kind of scary - but once I was treated, it cleared up quickly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There are a whole bunch of helicopters swarming around my neighborhood. It turns out there's a man on top of the Brooklyn Bridge, threatening to jump.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh dear, Tom. How awful.

msbelle, when I worked as a checker at Kroger's I'd occasionally get a check with a memorable name on it. The ones I remember are a John Crichton and a Louis Wu. I sometimes wonder how many of those I missed because they paid cash.
Tom - glad they got him down OK!
