No snow here for a change. Had it every morning for the last 3 days. About a half inch each day Was getting to the point I thought I was being held POW in Buffalo, NY again

Are there pictures in this post that everyone else but me can see?

There is *a* picture in this post that other people can see. You have to hold your head just right (think RCA puppy) while balancing on one foot patting your head and rubbing your tummy. Which will be inconvenient if you're at an Internet Cafe, but, them's the breaks!

SWWBO - Don't forget, FbL's feline. Sooooo, she should actually flop prone, tuck her forepaws -- uhhhh -- hands between floor and sternum, then open her eyes *REAL WIDE* and stare fixedly at some point just off-center of the post. For three hours. Think how well *that* would go over at said Internet Café...

Think how well *that* would go over at said Internet Café... Well, it'd probably get me a lot of tummy rubs, at least... :D

Oh! You meant, flop on my stomach. Okay, then it would get me a lot of ear scratches... which is a good start. ;)

I expect Kiki and his kohorts have laid a fairly extensive mine-field to guard yer spiffy new shed, Armorer- all in the line of doody, as it were... Ahem.

*Her* cohort, Neffi. *Her* cohort. Although she's the Castle Newbie, Permanent Private Houdini will not assume the Sergeant of the Guard position except at extreme age, in an honorary status, upon retirement...

Heh- well, here's a pic my friend Bob sent me from Wednesday night in Allenspark (20 miles from here). Big Kitty just looking for a tender, juicy Kiki....

Just a young one, mebbe a year old...

Big Kitty's cousin, the supposedly long-extinct Appalachian mountain lion, may be staging a comeback. The local biologists flatly state that there are no confirmed sightings of "painters" east of the Mississippi, but a few years back, we found pug marks of what was either an AML or the world's biggest lynx on Range 35 one wet spring morning. The local biologists *used* to flatly state we didn't have lynx down here, either, until a kitten turned up roaming around the Driver Training Course...

Only a year old and *already* with bad habits. We had family with a largish spread near Castle Rock. The coyote/canine mix they had (simply the coolest dog) they kept chained in the backyard at night. He lost his fight (he was coyote-sized, it wasn't a fair fight) with mountain lions. But they at least paid a blood price. Me, if I'd been there, I'd have decked the a$$hole for leaving him outside in the foothills. But that's just me.

mmmmm... sorry, Beth- no dog of any size can survive when a puma comes calling- size and breed means nothing. These cats kill and eat every day and no domesticated animal can cope when confronted with a wild carnivore like this... nature at it's best.

Beth - I'd clobber the jerk for chaining a dog outside anywhere, but especially where wild critters could harass or endanger it. And yes, for leaving it outside (even without chains) where it could get attacked by mountain lions or coyotes or whatever. Definite a$$hole. Neffi - I hope that your buddy finds a way to scare off the big kitty, for its own good. Needs to go off in the hills away from people.

Ooops. The "SWWB" comment is me, not Beth. Danger of using a shared computer when on the road...
