Cats are just incredibly well designed animals. I've always admired them and all of their parts. :)

I'm afraid I plagerized the phrase "cataloons" from CuteOverload. There was a cat drinking from a fountain with very fuzzy pants that prompted that word. Isn't it amazing how we can become so fascinated with kitty-cat body parts?

My snow shots pale in comparison to yours.

Little Nemo in cataloons. I never thought of it. He does look like he is wearing them. I'll have to get a good clear shot of those thighs when he is standing up.

Beautiful snow shots. Little Nemo and his cataloons - like he is wearing the feline equivalent of stripey witch socks.

I'm a firm believer that there is global warming, but agree that the picture is complicated. For instance, if the Arctic icecap melts it could freeze the Gulf Stream, bringing an ice age to Europe.

Also, the erosion of beachfront property is at least partly caused by numbnuts building on friable soil and hastening inevitable erosion.

Good to hear about the ice sheet. That helps. Everything I love is near the ocean, it seems. New York, Boston, the British Isles...

Is there global warming? I think the jury is way out there on that one.

I think I'm okay either way. If the ocean rises past the top of the cliff, it will stop people from parking on the landing, the ugly barn red kiosk will float away, and (since I am in a bowl) I'll have a lakeside property. I like to look on the up side. No worries.

Fortunately, the East Antarctic ice sheet gained about 45 billion tons of ice between 1992 and 2003 and that puts the ocean's rising point (at least for now) at zero.

Why are you afraid to live near the ocean?

One day maybe I'll have to live near you. That is gorgeous.

I love my house, and am increasingly afraid to live too near the ocean, but...

It's an electric piano with four voices. There is grand piano, electric piano, harpsichord, and string. Nice. C.P. found a deal at Musician's Friend. I've always wanted one. I want to learn to read music and it's also a good way to practice voice.

Ooh, you got a piano or a keyboard? What kind? I recently got some software for electronic music composition and I'm trying to learn it. Piano is a wonderful instrument.

Almost.

I know what you mean.
