    oh sigh................... the stupidbowl. I'm not enthused. I do my best to ignore it. the ads used to be funny and worth seeking out but the last few years they haven't been very clever. we usually plan something outdoors to take advantage of fewer people around if the weather is...

    it was so funny watching Puss yesterday. he would run up a cedar tree, 4 feet diameter, and then jump off or run back down. he ran up the trees right where we were working, got high enough to see us, then ran back down. . the tree he got stuck in was only 10 or 12 feet away...
