Manic Monday

Reflect on the characteristics of your best friend. What makes him or her so special?
Hmmmmm.... My sister is my best friend. In a way, I suppose that is what makes her so special.

What is one quality you admire most in others?
In a word, honesty. This includes owning up to one's own mitakes and the ability to express one's true opinion when asked.

Describe an activity that you think is truly romantic.
NOTHING!
Romance is a myth!

Still Missing You

It's hard to believe that it has been eight years since he joined his Sweet Lord...

I miss him as much today as I did then.
He was truly one of the greats in so many ways.

Four Dozen

It was pointed out to me (by my brother) that as of today, that is my age.
Geez, Rudy, that made me feel just GREAT!
At least I have the consolation of knowing that he's older. And I suppose it prepares me for two years from now when he wishes me "Happy Half a Century!"
'Cos I know he will...

You Never Know What You'll Find...

Prairie Dogs Need Your Help!

The EPA approved Rozol to kill prairie dogs without considering how it could affect other imperiled species. Rozol causes prairie dogs to slowly bleed to death and sets off a chain reaction of secondary poisoning that can kill imperiled animals that are tied to prairie dogs on the food chain; including black-footed ferrets, swift foxes, eagles and ferruginous hawks. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials submitted an 8-page letter asking the EPA to consult with them before approving Rozol, but the agency ignored this request and went ahead and rubberstamped it anyway.

Please, help protect prairie dogs and other imperiled animals.
Tell the EPA to reverse its deadly decision before the deadline on Friday.
