Damn.
We just had to say goodbye to Arya. She was not quite 7, but had stopped eating or drinking. It turned out her kidneys were enormous, and bloodwork showed her numbers were beyond the point of recovery.
I always figured she would be the one to make it to her 20s. She will be sorely missed.

Just encountered a snake at our back gate, which then slithered under the car. Apparently it was a Yellow Belly Racer. Fine, just surprising. We've lived here about 40 years and have never seen a snake on the property.

If a tree falls in the front yard, does it make a noise? Damn right it does. About a 3rd of our 75 foot tall cottonwood spontaneously broke off and fell, completely blocking three lanes, and smashed an unfortunate passing car's windshield. (No injuries).

We got our car back from the shop yesterday, after $1500, probably thanks to this guy. A wire-harness had been chewed through, right through the copper wires.
The only loaner we could get was an F150 FX4 extended-cab, which to me is a monster truck. ...

Over on FB, just got a like from Mel Brooks! On his book About Me, I said I'm waiting for About Me the lunchbox, or maybe the flamethrower. (The book was great BTW.)
