Another Wednesday? That doesn't seem very random.
Well, I do limit it to weekdays. But otherwise I swear I run it through the generator.
I'm going to invoke my baseball nerd and say: Small Sample Size.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Seriously, I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread and go look at videos of puppies or something.

I still haven't opened my garage since August 2009. I am in denial.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I believe you, Hec. It's just surprising.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I encourage everyone to pull their beds away from the walls and spray a circle barrier of bug spray around it. Those without pets or small children can do a double ring of boric acid and then big spray.

Our wings are not tired.
Nothing is worse than noticing a stray fringe and finding a nest of baby mice in the scarves in your bottom drawer. Nothing.
Ha!
A friend reminded me recently of something I had completely forgotten: in 1995 or so, I came home from a week-long trip to Yosemite (where I hadn't driven the car once)and parked my car in front of my house. The next day, I needed to update my insurance or registration or something, so I went out to the car, and opened the glove compartment. And there was a nest of small writhing baby squirrels.
I don't remember what I did with them, but since Teppy's Boy and I have a lot in common wrt to animals, I probably took them to the local SPCA.

I was seriously bug-phobic as a child...and it only got worse after one morning I walked half a block to the bus stop for school, felt like there was something in my shoe, took it off to shake out...and found a roach. Ewww!

meara, I've enjoyed your photos/status updates on Facebook and here! Glad you've had a fantastic trip. I'd like to see Vienna soonish. But not more European snow vacations, unless I'm on skis in Switzerland.
Sox, Sox's husband, and little adorable HKF are all passed out in my bedroom. I picked them up at BART around 1, and we spent the day visiting and preparing my place for the big NYE shindig tomorrow. Sox's husband was a patient saint who assembled the large patio heater I bought. I've been wanting one for a while, and I know I'll get ample use out it. So tomorrow we shall break it in. HKF got to help me decorate and I gardened while Sox was super useful prepping some new cooking appliances, etc. A very productive yet enjoyable afternoon. And HKF can NOT wait until a certain Matilda arrives tomorrow. This is going to be so super fun.

Oh, a patio heater will be super nice on your porch! I love your backyard.
And thanks! I've been enjoying the wifi and the chance to share the trip as it happens...but I definitely think my next trip, whatever it is, will have to be better weather!!
