@Karen - what do you mean I won't be alive to see the next one? Are you assuming that I age like a regular human? Oh wait, I've said too much ... ;-)
@Pitmom - Cat27 came to us after living for a long while in a garbage dump. We think he was about
3 years old when he moved in, and he has never once wanted to go outside. We have bird feeders outside our living room window, and he'll sit in the window sill, lick his lips, and chatter at the birds, but he has no interest in going out and catching one.
Baby skunks are the cutest thing on earth.
I've never understood the appeal of a nanny state. We had the same thing happen in our province - flavoured tobacco products were banned, and that included menthol cigarettes. I haven't smoked cigarettes in 20+ years, but when I did it sure wasn't because they tasted like candy canes. My smoking was all about
that sweet, sweet rush of dopamine.
I still smoke cigars when I can afford them, which is now about
2 or 3 times a year.
Those body farms are cool. I first became aware of them while reading the book
Stiff by Mary Roach, which I highly recommend.
No foxes outside my office. #foxwatch2018
