A Day for Whining About the Loss of Winter

Mutterings continued.

32c and people at the Zoo in shorts (and men who insist on taking their shirts off when they really, really shouldn't).

There's an interesting discussion going on on aus.tv about the oldest video tapes of tv programs one owns. Some people have them going back to 1984. Must check out some of my old tapes and see what I've got stored away.

From my cat newslist: The Creation Story

On the first day of creation, God created the cat.

On the second day, God created man to serve the cat.

On the third day, God created all the animals of the earth to serve as potential food for the cat.

On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labor for the good of the cat.

On the fifth day, God created the sparkle ball so that the cat might or might not play with it.

On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the cat healthy and the man broke.

On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but he had to scoop the litterbox.

Amen, says I.

Jamie and Adam had fun on last night's episode of Mythbusters blowing things up, sinking them and training them to go through hoops (goldfish, that is). They wanted to determine if a sinking boat will pull you under with it (it won't) and whether putting a firecracker in a trombone will blow the mute off the end, hit the conductor, and knock him into the stalls while the slide takes out the second violinist. It won't but they had a lot of fun trying!
