This apparently creates a better quality image.

What a spooky cat!
Speakin' of spooky cats, nice work pc! I saw that 'so what' one here a while back but hadn't seen the other two.
Now a moment of silence for Vince Welnick, almost a spinal tap kind of thing.

I got some beta from CG herself. Though it took me a while to figure out that I had to not only post the photos to Photo Bucket, I had to keep them there to maintain continuity. Who'd a thunk it? Hopefully they won't fall into the wrong hands - the SPCA would probably not be amused.
Posted a picture to another forum also.

If the SPCA goes after Anders they'll probably go after me too.
Instead of letting my Pup eat the Rat, what I should have done was give the Rat CPR.

Bwhahahaha!! Stinky! That's you? Whoa.
I didn't mean to lie to that cop - you know that. (That's the truth. I miscalculated due to terror). I was SO scared, but happy to just happen to be wearing a low-cut-ish shirt. *I hear that helps*
Whatever, I got to drive through. The adrenaline from fear washed out of my system in about, oh, three days....

HAHA, O know what smackulated thinks of this, what would the peta crowd think?
Animals doing what they do...
I lucked out to get the nose lick.
I think Kitimus decided that I wanted the rabbit when I cmae out ahd she had it between her paws. she played with it a while, but if I said anythign to her, she backed off the cute but evil garden pest. I kept saying "Kill it, eat it, you know you want to!!"
But she never did. I think little buggs lived to chomp beans n peas another day.
Kitimus Kat says" Hmmm, tastes like chicken! Wonder If I can get in master's van to puke this up?"
Kitimus in a more politikally Korreckt mood...
Kitimus Kat thinks to herself one of two things: "I love you master", or, "If it were small, I could eat this creature. When oh when will the mother ship come, and finish the shrink ray??"

(Cassidy putting up with holiday rituals)
(Ayko the wonder dog)
Getting these two started each day has always been fun. They are like one dog. They are inseparable except when going up or down stairs (I'm having to help with this as they get older).
Still, the act of getting them started with help up the stairs, putting them in the back yard, providing fresh water, food and love is as important to me as that first cup of coffee.
Several have remarked that doing for others brings them happiness, and I have to agree. It can be pets, or family, or friends, or even the stranger. I think when we achieve a balance of helping others and accepting help we can only become happy. Is that sappy?

dirt,
I love that kat of yours! Plenty of 'catitude' there as my wife might say. Kitimus is quite the hunter. Here's a picture of our, once mighty hunter, Crummy (aka 'crumby' because she eats bread crumbs in addition to the squirrels and other critters she's bagged).
I'm also admiring the rosewood on the guitar in the background of your second photo...brazilian? What kind of guitar makes you happy?

The period when my parrots were having babies is my favorite time in life. Here is father (Henri) and son (Pickle):

LOL, mkbill, the one in my pic is a Gilbert, #69, by JOHN, not Bill, (Bill's are better, according to his dad John, adn John is usually right about guitar matters.) But mine is one of the better ones from their cedar era. I've tried to part with it a few times over the years, when I felt I did not deserve such a fine instrument, but there is nothing to compare, in my mind. Nothing comes close to a Gilbert if that is your sound-- crisp, clear, and distinction and separation between notes, with a proper sustain and decay.
I should confess that John is my BIGGEST fan and supporter, LOL, but since he doesn't need my help, I can say what I think.
I see young Ekat is shilling for her old man LOL!
Funny how Gill-man is embarrased to promote his wares here, but Backer and Ekat know this is the place to get people's attention.
That Mark Blanchard is some special kind of good.
Here are some pics of the Gilbert. It is a high grade professional instrument, and it will expose any flaws in your playing and technique, aas well as allow you all the exression and control you can muster.
Sorry for lousy pics.

LOL, very pretty , Ekat-- but can it fight?
(quote/paraphrase from The Dirty Dozen, Donald Southerland pretending to be a general, talkign to the as#@&%e colonel)
As for playing the Gilbert, that is a funny thing.
the finish on the top is less than a ten thousandth, and the top is cedar.
The guy who originally owned it would not let anyone play it, but I got to. He accused me of putting marks in the top above the 6th string with my thumbnail. (I don't EVER touch the top!!!!)
Later, his wife told me she had done it, she would sneak it out when David was not around and play.
I let two banjo players try it once, my late brother and another good friend, they did that idiotic thing that banjo players do, resting two fingers on the top, and put TWO GROOVES there, from their fingernails. ARGH!!!
But it's something to remember my brother by now, so, fine.
What I'm saying, YeEkat, is, Maybe, just maybe, you could play it, but ONLY if you get me a successful date with Angelina Jolie, or Darryl Hannah, and you agree to wear gloves!!!
ROTFLMAO!!!

I stopped at this garden store on the way back to the city today, and got this cool Millet plant to put in a big pot that has been empty. I used to have a little fire escape garden, but the last few years, I haven't.
I've been wanting to start it up again, and this is it.

I actually chose it just because it was so striking in appearance. It has a dark purpleish color to it. And such a fatty seed thing. Just looks very cool, I think.
If birds help themselves, that will be a bonus, I think. It hadn't occurred to me.
The tag says it is "Ornamental Millet,pennisetum glaucum, Purple Majesty." It says that the seed does attract wild birds, too.
