*** Spring footnote

So much for all that blabbing about great spring weather.  

Today: May 4th.
Weather: Snow. Cold. 


Perfect timing considering that I just planted a bunch of tomatoes and that all the trees are fully leaved out...  Lots of broken branches, plus, we've been told that for some bizarre reason, when it snows in nearby Foix, that the phones and internet go down.  Today, the power is flickering and we'll see what happens as the storm progresses...I'm hoping that no trees fall on power or phone lines.

On the up side, all the rain and snow have made it super evident where the leaks in the house and garage are, which is nice. :)  It'll give me something to do next week when I want to take a break from all the trimming damage control and replanting.

  3. Way cooler because of the ambient temp or did you put them in the freezer?

  4. After many experiments, 10 out of 7 scientists agree that ambient temperature and being stuck in a freezer for prolonged periods of time have nothing to do with why cats are cooler than dogs. Can't argue with science.

    Other reasons why cats are cooler than dogs:

    1. You don't have to take them on walks. In fact, you generally don't have to pay attention to them at all if you don't want to.

    2. You won't come home to find the house completely destroyed because of separation anxiety.

    3. Dogs drool. Cats purr. Cat's have class, dogs rip ass.

    4. You never have to worry about kicking cats off the crashpads when bouldering.

    5. The only cat fights you will ever see at the crag might be when two ladies fight over a gorilla with big forearms, strong fingers and a little brain.

    6. Cats kill mice; Dogs kill chew toys and nice shoes.

    7. Cats clean themselves regularly; Dogs roll in shit & dead animals whenever possible.

    8. Cats don't bark (or get you tickets for noise violations!).

    9. Cats have 9 lives; Dogs have silly tricks.

    10. They're cats, not dogs. Muff said!
