Bush's fault? Globull warming? ;-)
Speaking of animals, last night HoneyBear who my hubby has nicknamed "Missy Buns" heard a dog on TV. She stood up on the ottamon, raised her face to the heavens and howled! All 8 lbs of her "mighty might" was put into that howl. I hope the neighbors didn't hear her - they would have thought we had a werewolf raoming the neighborhood. LOL!!
