A special message from the Department of Troll Control, come and get it!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans and ban certain undesirables from using our airlines. They demand the right to criticize and blaspheeme the name of our supreme commander and cheef George W Bush while forcing multiculturalism down our throats and praising Bill Clinton. We all know however that it's totally Clintons fult for everything bad in america. Now we are at war and we must make a decision. support the safty of America and defeat terrorists, or support civil liberties and give victory to the enemy. Its all because of Bill Clinton and civil liberties that we are in this war so it is only fair that we give it up. no one said life was supposed to be fair you liberal crybabys. Dont give me that rubbish about equality and diversity. WE ARE AT WAR! If your not for Bush and against civil liberties your a terrorist! Your probably even a Communist and should be detained. Therefore fellow Americans we must throw all of our trust and resources behind George W Bush and behind this war with no ifs ands or buts. Be sure to report any and all detractors and freedom supporters to your local military and never question. Bush knows what hes doing and we will win this war once and for all. Thank you and May God bless America.

LOL!
I'll let you give me weather reports from the Wasatch Front, thanks!
We finally got a little rain last night, but I don't know if any fell at the airport, so it's probably not "really rain."

The kids are great. Tearing the cathouse apart with their bare teeth. Actually, that's Calvin's doing. He wanted to redecorate...

Gates are not even an obstacle for kitties. I have to literally quarantine them if I want to get anything done. And then I see little paws under the door...

I had a similar problem with the puppy gate. Solitare could sail over it with about 8 inches to spare.

I started leaning it instead of using the compression spring.

After a couple of loud crashes to the floor, they don't want to get within a foot of it.

Just let me know when erotic dancing becomes an Olympic sport. I'll definitely tune in for that.

Today's belly-dancing routines seem to intimate a shallow memory of what they must have been when the biblical Harod was willing to divide his Kingdom for such entertainment.

Or maybe I'm just jaded. We did have "The Block" after all.

Ya know? I think I'm more impressed by the hula than by "belly dancing." Especially the Polynesian "hula."

I wouldn't take you off my ping list if someone put a gun to my head!

I'm Ok. I think. I spent the morning trying to install the scanner my brother gave me last year, but there are no instructions with it...*sigh*

How are you? Do you have snow and ick?

LOL! Good!

I can't help with the scanner, I couldn't get mine to work with instructions.

Ice and ick.I couldn't get the coating of ice off the back-side windows of the car until one side came off today. I've had to do all kinds of contortions to check my blind spot driving, since yesterday.

We ha snow, then freezing rain, so if you stand out side here at home, you actually hear the ice cracking.

We're used to that sound from the river, but not the lawn!

I found it pretty rude to get up to snow this morning.

I hadn't planned the extra time to include shoveling in my "get ready for work" routine.

Colder than a well diggers behind.

I suspect the scanner is pretty much "user friendly" but I woulod just as soon not make any mistakes. I've already emailed Hewlett-Packard, and will have to wait till at least Mondy for info. I thought I could find the instruction manual online to download and print, but I had no luck with that at all.

I guess we'll all be waiting for the lawns to break up, then, eh? Sure sign of Spring!

For all the big footed goofiness they are very careful.

I have a set of goblets in the danger zone on my bakers rack (tail sworp land).

No broken glass wear.
