But thankfully you don’t mutate.
Much.
Just a wee bit....
I’m a skeerd a YOU, guy! Got any piccies you’d like to share?
Very creepy.
My son and his wife told me a month ago that they would be coming out for her birthday (her folks live 120 miles from here) but in the phonecall, they told me that the boys were coming with them.
That is exciting!
Both are named Sam...
My computer updated this morning, and installed Explorer 9, and I lost my Favorites file.
And accidently, I found it again on the right side of the screen instead of the left. *cusswords and shuckydarn!*
What a waste...
Yay, you’ve surfaced! I’ve been dying to know if you’ve moved in yet, what your neighbors are like, what’s going on, have you gone to any functions there? (There’s something about this thread that brings out my inner yenta.)
Have you ever seen ligers or tigons? One of them has a growth control switch that forgets to turn off....
At least your computer responds to things you do. Mine takes off on a tangent of its own accord.
Lots of cloud cover, rain and thunder—will probably dematerialize soon....
Well, now that the mouse problem is solved, the computer is somewhat tame. However, my brain does not respond kindly to sudden changes of any kind, including the shifting of my Favorites file from the left to the right.
The Stig is now taking an interest in a “honey-seed” gift from a FRiend, so I know he is nearly finished with his molting. He is still devouring the “molty-food”
He needs to be done with it all by March 15 because he is going to Busdaddy’s while I’m otherwise diverted by my son and his family.

How it attacks.
O U C H!!
I hate when that happens.
Kathleen and I had a nap. I sure would like a drink or several!
People wil let their catz get away with anything!
"Nice little planet you've got here. Be a shame if something was to happen to it."
You've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?"
More likely, I will feel DEAD
Yowch! I are going to take the long way home and hope the Hotel will allow me an exit...
The California Hotel is always so “iffy”...
The Stig and I are doing well. And tomorrow is another day. See you then!
Was it eight planets or nine? Well, in all the excitement I think I lost count.
Anyway, the point I was making is that if you want to live and do well, you have to pay for "protection".
No, not the kind that Chicago hoodlum and his gang are peddling. I'm talking about state-of-the-art asteroid-movers, sent out to wrangle a few high-metal asteroids into a serviceable area, and then dismantle them.
Now folks talk about how much steel and other stuff is in the asteroids, as if they were going to take it down to Earth and put up buildings with it. What nonsense!
The steel in the asteroids, and even the common dirt and rocks, is worth hundreds of times the price of steel at the bottom of the gravity well.
What they need to do is build space-ships with it.
Then all they'll have to do is send up some nuclear rocket engines for the ships, swing over to Venus for some reaction gas (carbon dioxide), and then go rambling off into the wild black yonder for more asteroids.
After you've got enough of these space tugs working out there, when someone discovers an asteroid on a collision course with Earth, we'll just send over a team of space tug-boats, and move the asteroid into a more useful destination.
There are LaGrangian points all over the system where such bodies can be parked. (Part of my plan to take over the Solar System is to know where all the bodies are!)
So, basically, if everyone is in agreement that we need to pay for the protection of our planet, then we can get on with business.
Well...yeah. But it’s how you GET dead that matters, and what you get to see in the process.
Of all the possible ways to go, I’d expect being smacked by an asteroid ranks up there among the most interesting.
The main question is: Since you’re going to get a fair amount of advanced notice, will to position yourself on the impact side of the planet, or on the far side? You want to go out as part of the direct hit, or as part of the follow-on effects?
No need to answer, now; there’ll be plenty of time to plan later on.
Time is on our side : )
