Welcome to the list -- pay no attention to knuckle-draggers, and other assorted individuals here on the list. Awright everybody -- now that we have another cat person on the list -- no more 'taping' cat stories. I taught with a person that raises Aby's -- what we in the livestock world would call a barn, she called a "cat house" (Actually she called it a cattery -- we (the wonderful people she worked with) called it the "cat house." She finally gave in and called it that too. We also used to tell her everytime she took a cat to be bred that she was violating the "Mann Act" 'cause most of the other Aby breeders were out of state. Chiles are germinating -- now if the sun would only come out -- I hate using propane during the daytime! Nels in ND
