Not a joke, but extremely accurate depiction of the truth. *ahem*

She is a Pitsky. Half Husky, half Pit. The Husky rounds out the Pit personality, making it less unpredictable, while the Pit rounds out the Husky desire to PULL PULL PULL.

She’s got beautiful blue eyes like a Husky, and she wears eyeliner. LOL

Sounds attractive but challenging. Lots of loooooong walks.

I found Jake napping behind Hogwarts. I’m not sure whether this presages dire weather, or if he wants me to wash his blankets.

I love both breeds, so to me, she’s gorgeous!

Good morning. I haven’t been warm since I left Las Vegas Valley over three years ago, but thanks for the wishes!

Behind Hogwarts, eh? How’s the progress on Diagon Alley? Is that finished?

I have to get things squared away in here before I can start on my little project. I did manage to get a display case for it so that when the thing is assembled, it can be shown and not collect dust. This place is not as “linty” as my last place was, but I have yet to figure out why.

My goodness but it’s cold! I am not a happy person at the moment!

When an octopus which had learned the lock combination reproduced, the baby octopus was born knowing the lock combination.

That would be amazing... similar to birds and butterflies knowing how to find their way to places they've never been.

Science fiction always glosses over the problems of communication - when it should be obvious there's a problem... Not one species in OUR world - that we've lived with for millions of years - that we can communicate with.

We currently have 77 fs in the dining room. Supposed to be 40 tomorrow.

Diagon Alley is coming along slowly.

Why, thank you, sir! I never met a man I didn’t like. Oh. Wait. Yes I did. A couple in fact. Well, maybe three. Make that four. OK, five. Would you believe seven?

*leaving now*

With the wind, it’s 17°. I didn’t like being out in it. I have to write another letter to the manager because if the door isn’t locked, the draft comes through it like a sieve. It’s bad enough to have the gap under the door, but the top and front as well1? The “draft dodger” works well when I’m inside, but I had to pull the throw rug under the door when I left, just to stop the worst of the wind coming in.

It was cold in the building, too!

Great dog! The GF’s little pup watches TV too. If she is watching dogs and they run off screen runs to the window in hopes of seeing them outside.

Elen, USMC, used to pull up bird videos on her phone and put the phone down on the floor. Then Shannon would attack the phone.

Jake was just rolling over weirdly on the kitchen floor. I have a feeling Sally dropped meat on the floor while we were at church and didn’t wipe up. She went home in anticipation of weather hitting.

Well. There’s a trick for another day! Enticing a cat with bird videos — how funny!

The weather is eventing here, too. It will be very cold when I go to the laundry room in the morning, but I’m so cold now, that once again I think I’ll never warm up. FS said I’d change my tune, once summer hit, but I never did, in the 30+ years I was in Vegas, and I most certainly didn’t in 3 years in Happy Valley, so I doubt very much that I’ll do it in Dogpatch, USA.

I want to be warm!

The temperature is supposed to drop 50 degrees in the next 18 hours here.

Not surprising considering what we’re having! It’s coming your way!

It was 70 degrees New Year’s Eve, and though it was cooler yesterday, it’s bitter right now. The wind chill puts it at 18°. Dropping... I’m glad I don’t have to be outside, but at the same time, it’s so cold in here that I had to turn on the heater in the bathroom, just to take the chill off.

Of all times for the door to not make a good seal!
