Reminds me of a cat we had years ago. He'd sit out in a snowbank and watch me shovel snow. Some cats are "snow cats", even domestic ones.

Funny history. I remember when I was younger they raced at Watkins Glen through the streets of town. After a few fatalities they built a real race track up on the hill outside of the village.

This old fan of field archery is impressed. Looks like something Howard Hill would have easily mastered back in the day.

FYI: because the catcher was lying on the ground, this move was legal. Had the catcher been kneeling, the runner would be out. (National HS Federation baseball rule)

HMcB is probably right, but (and it is a big but) 5/5 is already taken by that Corona imbibing faux holiday Cinqo deMayo.

It pays to keep your pitchforks within easy reach.

I guess we better change the names of some of our weekdays that are named after Nordic gods. A lot of folks already refer to Wednesday as "Hump Day" although I can't really see that on our calendars.

When I was younger I thought it would be cool if you could stand on either the north or south axis of the earth and spin around and around. Then I realized it would take 24 hours for one turn. Bubble burst.

Now I have to wonder if the Elvis stamp is actually a rendition of an Elvis impersonator. The horror.

Back in the day PTSD was probably best known as shell shock. I was in a VA hospital years ago and there were a couple older GI's in the mental ward from WWII who had never recovered. Jessss is correct to mention some similarity with horrible car wrecks. Any really disturbing event, fires, tornadoes, 9/11 will likely cause PTSD in some survivors. Sad.

Didn't a cCCP cosmonaut have an encounter with wolves? Or was that one of those lost cosmonaut tales?

Oh no! I'm addicted to Neatorama. The horror.

Very cool modeling with that late winter look on the cars.

I love my amber training fluids---errr----beer, but for breakfast? I'll pass.

My wife, a Canadian, slept our wedding night with a slice of wedding cake under her pillow for good luck. She must have been on to something as we will celebrate our 48th anniversary this August.
