Melanie’s Aunt Bethie and family lived down in the Rio Grande Valley, and this is a story about Aunt Bethie and Cousin Martha and the cat.

The cat was nowhere to be found, and Aunt Bethie and Cousin Martha looked and looked and looked and looked — till Cousin Martha found him under the bed.

“Under the bed?” cried Aunt Bethie. “What on earth is he doing there?”

. . . which was a slightly odd question, given cats’ proclivity for staking out such hiding places. It must have struck Cousin Martha as an odd question, too, because she hesitated a little and thought a little before answering her mother.

“He’s . . . just . . . doin’ his best.”

he’s interested in movie making. You can’t wait to have actors, you have to just start getting experience video taping things. There’s an old tripod with wheels out at the Woodzie site.

John & Judith Borger donated over 40,000 comics to the University of Minnesota. Says she, “There’s no debating the logic of donating the comics. They’ll be far safer in the high-security, fireproof library. And besides, I keep telling John, books are meant to be read, not sit in our basement. People will be able to study John’s books in the Andersen reading room, as long as they . . . wear white cotton gloves while handling them. That’s a far cry from the days when my son read his copies in the bathtub.”
Great article and video.

It should look like a cone or column of faint light. Here is a link and the forwarded message from my astronomer friend in New Hampshire. They are approaching 100″ of snow fall this winter with the all time record being 122″:

Be sure to look in the west this week for a dim cone of light caused by sunlight reflecting off of interplanetary dust in the plane of the solar system. This is the best week to see it. No telescope or binoculars are needed, just your good old eyeballs!

If you create a link in a post to an MP3 that’s somewhere else on the Internet, this new plugin I just installed will do the behind the scenes magic to make it play right inside the post. Lets see if it works for multiple links in one post. Should place a blue play button next to the song. Who are these singers? Heart Of Mine – written by Bob Dylan. Check out how 3D the high hat sounds coming in. Great mix. Reverb would have messed it up. Will You Love Me Tomorrow – written, of course, by Carol King. The pops and scratches are there to throw you off by making it sound old. And…. a too reverby live recording of If I Give My Heart To You.
