Well, off to change out the thermostat in the 'new to me' Volvo. Thanks Slick. Hopefully it won't be too horrible. Gonna take Mickey with us with us for a little more human interaction. He's doing very well, and seems just plain happy to be with a family who loves him. The more time I spend with him, the more I suspect he's come from a family that tried hard and gave up. If I'm correct, then they made a huge mistake. He's got all the basic commands down, and is eager to learn, please, love and be loved. He loves his Momma, his Dad, and shows a contentment I wish I saw more of in humanity. At this time of year, we ought be thankful for what we have, not what we crave. To those of us enjoying where we're at, High Five - to those without - hope the sunshine comes calling, and your days become as bright as it seems for this wee man I feel so fortunate to have as a part of the family.

Yet another brilliant Michael Mann film. Depp wonderful, as was the rest of the cast. The tow 'elder' cops almost outshone Bale, albeit with very few lines. All in all, a beautifully crafted piece with shots and visual that will leave you gasping for air. Highly recommend this one, and pretty much anthing Mann graces us with.

Welcome Mickey....he's beyond wonderful. I only pray that Bailey approves; Hiram likes him: so all is well in the Robertson animal kingdom. Thanks to Jo and Jon for the support this afternoon.

Some out of order photos...I ain't so good with technology. Story was supposed to from top to bottom, but alas, it's bottom to top.

Jo makes her first burgers to be BBQ'ed in Canada. She got a lovey package of lean bison and lean beef from the Meat Shop at TRU. Made the patties herself, and we had enough to freeze a few. Enjoyed said burgers with carrots from the garden, a lovely salad, and home made fries (thanks for the tip btw baby!).

Hiram sleeps while we enjoy said burgers, because he never bothers us while we cook or enjoy our dinners. Cough cough.

Having that much food, but still feeling peckish - I opt to eat the cat, raw and whole. Tasty those Siamese, spicy almost. Hint of oregano for some reason.

We smile, knowing we're full and now saving approximately eight thousand dollars a month in cat food.
