Absolute cuddle fiends, like we got them to live outdoors and hunt rats and mice but they're about 70% indoors due to how amazing they are. Unfortunately they've got cones on now but they still seem happy somehow.
That reminds me of the cat my parents got, Smokey.

"He lives in the garage."

"He lives in the garage but it is OK for him to come into the mud room temporarily to be petted."

"He lives in the mud room."

"He lives in the mud room but it is OK for him to come into the family room temporarily to be petted."

It was not long before he had the run of the house. I then left for college, and returned for the holidays to notice an extra place set at the table.

"Who's coming over for dinner?"

"Nobody is coming over for dinner. Why did you think that?"

"You set six places at the table, not five."

"That's Smokey's seat."

Yes, he literally ate his meals at the table, sitting in a chair, with the rest of the family.
It's called clown range for a reason.

GFS with the battleground setup... less cold but more snow.
This has been the theme this fall/winter. Hopefully the Euro holds firm.

Haha I like it. They sound like good people, able to have their defenses worn down by a cute little fur ball :thumbup:

Also news 1130 was decent before it changed to that City BS!

:thumbdown:
Ya, Remember when the change happened and they made all these promises that nothing was going to change, and they would still do all the local stuff. BS! They layed off Russ Lacate and a bunch of others and now half the station is recorded and I have no idea when they are live, except durring rush hours for traffic.

More like 30–40 cm if the Kuchera map is to be believed.

I think GEM drops a horrific ice storm on day 10. Someone have the ice accretion maps for shiggles?
