Those sweaters are truly ugly! Nice job with the ugliness!

Obviously that child who got his tongue stuck as never seen 'A Christmas Story'. He'd know better if he had.

apropos of nothing, and on a sad note, keep a good though for my kitty Crookshanks. We just found him outside (rather than in his warm area) huddled in a corner by the house, crying. He could barely move, although we see not obvious wounds. He has a bit of a scrape above one eye, but I cannot see a puncture, although I think it looks swollen. We have no idea how long he had been there, or even why he was there. I am worried that he is not going to make it through the night so we can get him to his vet. He is having trouble using his front legs and cannot seem to walk. He is calm when I hold him and does not seem to be in pain when we move him around and pick him up, but he was very, very cold and we have no idea how long he had been out there. He has a heated area that he can come and go from at will. I've had some bad 'feelings' about him lately, but nothing specific. In the back of my mind I've wondered if he was going to get cancer for some reason. Here he is on a better day. He is 9 years old.
