I am very, very grateful that there is no snow here. My sister near Atlanta told me it was snowing there this morning.
But that's not what I wanted to tell y'all. Guess what I have? A bottle of Ribena! After more than ten years of being on the Ship, and reading many times of the mysterious Ribena, I will now get to try it myself! Curiosity will be satisfied!

I'm tired of being cold...I'm on the Gulf Coast, it's not supposed to be freezing!!
It's going to warm up, otherwise I'd wonder. I wouldn't mind more rain though. (It's supposed to be coming, but lately I've bet against it and won most of the time.)

In Houston when the temps start flirting with freezing and the chances of rain go up you no what season it is? Soccer season, the time when I get the pleasure of being outside all the time. But wait you may say how can you play soccer in the rain and mud. Our home field is made of artificial turf so is never to muddy to be played on.

There isn't any snow here in Denver either, other than on the mountain peaks. Who knew this would happen in January?
There is snow in Colorado, along with Taos and Santa Fe are skiing. Looks like PA and NY might have some snow now, too. Good for them if you like the white stuff. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

We volunteer for the Meezer Express, which is
Siamese Rescue's way of getting rescue cats to their new homes. Drove 138 miles today, with 2 cats, both good travelers, thank God. One of them is going to Bayonne, New Jersey. That's over 8 hours away, with a total of 6 drivers.
The way it works is that the trip is broken into several legs. We picked the cats up at 0730, then drove to a rendezvous point north of Richmond and handed them to the next driver in the chain. He drove one of them to its new home in Northern Virginia, then handed the other to the next driver; and so on till little LuLu gets to her adopter in New Jersey.
I am in awe of the (volunteer) transport coordinators, who set these runs up. Having to find volunteer drivers all over the East Coast who are willing and able to be at a certain place at a certain time, really is like herding cats.
We're home now with a fire in the fireplace and a cat on every lap. I believe hot cocoa is indicated---as soon as the cat gets off my lap.

It's cat mating season, and we are continually being awoken in the middle of the night by yowls of passion (and our dogs' reaction). I caught a couple in flagrante in our neighbor's driveway this morning. Doesn't anybody around here get their cats fixed?

Water pipe coming into the house froze this morning. We have some stored water but sure glad I took a shower last night before going to bed. In fact I did it to warm up. No laundry, no doing up the breakfast dishes, no watering the house plants, just sitting here waiting for the sun to warm things up. If it takes to long, Mr Image may have to take me out for lunch. ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

When I left the house at about 9:30 this morning, the temps were in the low 70's ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) NOT a good thing in TN in the middle of January. Then temps dropped quickly, and a fun-fill rain/windstorm blew through. We were lucky at the house, but it got pretty bad in some places near here. While I don't particularly crave cold weather, I just wish it would settle down and get on with being winter already.
On other, non-weather related news, I spent the morning treking around gathering information on a possible new business venture. My partner, bless his heart, is worried about whether to use tables with simulated maple or walnut laminate tops while I'm the one trying to round up insurance quotes and generate financial projections. I know he's like this, and I know that I will be the nuts and bolts person, and luckily he also knows he is like this, but if he texts me one more time asking my opinion on the color of the chair cushions I just may scream. However, I really think this thing could work.
Watch this space. In a couple of months, I may actually be in business for myself, with all the headaches and anxiety that entails. I want it, I want it, I want it! I'm not getting any younger and if I do fail completely, then I still have time to pick myself back up. But if I don't fail... ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)

Yay, BessHiggs! I'm always happy to hear about new businesses. If your locality is like ours, whenever we see another storefront boarded up our hearts sink, but when we see new construction or a "Now Open!" sign we feel more encouraged.

I have always wanted to see the Austin bats. We have bats here (we once had one get in the house by way of the fireplace, but finally managed to get him outside again), but not in huge colonies.

I don't think anyone stayed to see the Bat Flight at Carlsbad Caverns this summer.
As I recall, most of the shipmeet participants were tired out after wandering through the cave.

Bats are as harmless as... foxes, weasels, 'possums, whatever. I mean, if they find a way to move into your house and deposit 50 pounds of poop between your walls, and if they routinely accidentally blunder into your living room and orbit around, frightened, until you catch them & toss 'em out, and if they leave fleas all over the place...
But, yeah, bats are harmless. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
They say Austin is no good for surfing... but I bet someone somehow surfs in Austin.

Pata, Belle, and I stayed for the bat flight from Carlsbad. The bat flight in Austin was more impressive last summer. The bats must of been coming out for a good 15 to 30 minutes. While in Austin I suggest going to only local places. If you stay through the weekend Pata and I can come up for a quick meet.

There's a great horned owl living around here. Sometimes he sits on the roof of the house.
The first time I saw one, I called the fish & wildlife folks and asked them if great horned owls ever get cats. (These are seriously large owls.) They told me that sometimes they do. I was all worried about my (now deceased) cat Gus. The wildlife guy asked me how big the cat was. When I told him "24 pounds" he told me Gus was probably safe.

We have a trio of Bald Eagles who regularly fly over the field containing our duck blind. It is amazingly cool to stand there on a cold winter morning and watch them soaring around. We always try to make the young 'uns hunting with us how lucky they are to be able to see Bald Eagles in the wild doing eagle stuff.

Daughter-Unit and S-i-L have burrowing owls living very near to them. They sometimes sit on their house. But being only five or six inches high, no cats need worry. They are terribly cute, though.
Aren't we lucky to see wild creatures? Well, most of them. The pythons in the Everglades need to go away.

Speaking of bird neighbors, there is the local roadrunner, actually a pair of them.
JB says "Beep Beep" whenever he passes. "Zippy" appears unimpressed. The dogs ignore the roadrunners; they must have an agreement - or an experience.

Wow, how cool is that?! I had no idea. My son's Eagle Scout project was making bat houses for a nature learning center in one of the Lake County forest preserves, so I've been lectured many times about how harmless bats are. My daughter, on the other hand, is terrified of the critters, and since she is planning on visiting her best friend who has moved to Austin, I will definitely have to tell her about the Austin Bats. ![[Two face]](graemlins/scot_twoface.gif)
eta: I would love to actually see an owl in "real life" (as opposed to seeing one in a zoo or nature center). That would be awesome. I grew up hearing screechy barn owls late at night at my grandma's farm -- that sound will give you chills.

What an awesome picture!
If you start seeing a lot of empty boxes in your yard that have ACME printed on them, you'll need to have a chat with the dogs.
New Mexico has way cooler critters than most places.

Well, I had heard about the famous roadrunners, but never saw one while at MoBo and JB's digs last summer. So, they do exist?
Another critter story:
Wednesday of this week, the staff ate lunch outside. A honeybee (you know how I love the little things) kept landing on the bread, which had a honey glaze or some such on it. The other ladies don't like bees very much and one of them was pretty scared of our personal bee, so I tried to keep it near me. We were under a tree, and a leaf fell onto the head of the lady to my left. She thought it was the bee. She let out a whoop, flailed her arms, and neatly karate chopped the water goblet so that the base and stem was in the original spot, and the goblet part shattered and fell into my plate! ![[Killing me]](graemlins/killingme.gif)
So, now I ask if she's been attacked by any leaves recently.

I've had a number of close encounters. They don't get old - owls are really extraordinary; other worldly.

Been a rough couple of days here. I've been looking for the perfect bird to join our family, bought a huge cage and everything. And then our parakeet sneaked out when she wasn't supposed to through a tiny crack, and the dog, who thinks he is in charge of telling her what to do, bit her, and she died in my hand. The dog is still alive. But now I feel like we've lost two birds because why bring a new bird into this kind of a situation. Just pets, but a sad household.

Scruffy knew right and well that he'd done wrong. But the kids forgave him quicker than we did. Still, I figure they're watching us, and if we don't forgive the dog, then how will they be sure we'd forgive them if they mess up really bad some day. I guess it's good we get practice, hard as it seems.

Oh, there's no question about forgiving an animal. He's just being himself. The making sure he knows he did wrong is to teach him, not to wreak Mommy's vengeance.
I'd say, get whatever birds your heart desires. Make sure of your cautions about cage doors & whatnot, and go for it.
I might do the same sometime -- I'm saving it for an other type of vengeance, though. I like finches, but the FG is driven mad by their chirping. Heh heh heh heh.
