I meant to work this into today’s entry somehow. I ran across a marvelous quotation this morning.
I just wanted to note it so I’d remember.
Weâre up to day five of Waldo The Monarch Chyrasalis’ metamorphosis. This is the first morning Iâve noted any real change to the chrysalis; Waldo now has some small brown spots on his back over where the wings are. Some of the gold spots appear to be darkening or turning brown as well. Iâve read…
sigh The Amphibian apparently needs a major attitude adjustment. First of all, this is the week I was supposed to be on vacation. In case anyone has failed to notice, I am not on vacation. I am not on vacation because my government counterpart is on vacation. I can’t take vacation when he takes vacation….
A cat bitten once by a snake dreads even rope. – Arabic Proverb I believe that my evil twin, Slipperman, is having a bad influence on me. I, who never recall my dreams, remembered much of another dream I had last night. Perhaps I was able to recall it because it was so disturbing. If…
An acorn is not an oak tree. It is a sad thing when the acorn must be uprooted before it unfurls even a single leaf, but is not an act of deforestization. There are times and places inappropriate for acorns to grow. I have yet to see a person who complains of and prays against…
I knew that I’ve been a little graphics intense recently, but I’ve been blissfully unaware it was giving dial-uppers conniptions. I’ve been intending to figure out how to use thumbnails, and it looks like I’ll be doing that before my next entry. If I can, I’ll go back and replace some of the more graphics…
I meant it as a joke when I threatened to rename this “The Kitten from Hell Chronicles”, but looking back over the last entries there’s a certain ironic accuracey to that title. Time to catch my own doings up a bit. Got nearly the very last of the Christmas shopping done yesterday. And got something…
can’t wait to hear what the front office people have to say about this… you GO grass!
~~~
hug’em and kiss’em, i’m doing the same.
Yea, I hear you on the extra cat loving. I feel guilty complaining about them in yesterday’s entry. It’s a shame about Shaka.
Ah, a little "revenge" is good regarding the 3" drop. All from 1/8th inch of rain? Good grief.
Your excursion sounds nice, even better when someelse is driving. I have to admit, I’m abit nervous about driving on my trip next month.
Shoddy workers in more than one sense, it seems.
I would just say to the office: Please make it beautiful. (wait for response) thank you.
I feel for you*
Boston intimidates me also
Three cheers for Mr. Blake.
The drop is pretty plain to see in the first photo. That will be a lot of fun to correct.
Maine has roads?
Huh.

Oh, good grief! Did they put those pavers on marshmallow? Such a small area, and with foot traffic only – they must have made no attempt to prepare the area properly.
Yes, don’t waste a precious moment with those kitties. And get The Socialist to help prepare the place for his friend 🙂
Good quote. I like that. Your ex garden reminds me of my parents’ sidewalk. They had newly paved it about seven or eight years ago because it was cracked and old. It looked great. That winter we had a strong rain, and then it all froze. The sidewalk buckled into horrible shapes and cracked worse than it had before. They were less than pleased…
Yeah, I let the flies out for biology class. We are doing fruit fly experiments, and we need fresh, virgin fruit flies or the experiment will be off. Fruit flies become sexually active 6-8 hours after hatching, so we can’t use them if they have already mated, because they retain the sperm cells and those can show up in later matings.
We have 4 people in our ‘teams’. I, the 8:00am, let them all out because they’ve been in the tube for about 11-12 hours. The 12:30 person goes in and counts the newly hatched flies and sorts them into a male or female tube, depending on sex. The 4:00 person is supposed to do the same, and then the 8:00pm person is supposed to do the same. Then I get up in the morning and let them all out, and we start over.
I bet you understand more now, but if I bet I had just said ‘fruit fly experiment’ I wouldn’t had to have explained anything. lol
I HATE unexpected company like that.
I would have had to say….
"I am sorry, but I am not up to having unexpected company. We will HAVE to make it another time."
That is plain and simple.
They should get the idea.
