>George, "I love cats, they taste just like chicken." You sound just like my husband. When asked if he likes kids he usually responds, "Yes, when they're fully cooked." It's a good thing he likes to dig in the soil. The last chrysanthemum has faded. Snow is expected. At least the lights in the kitchen are keeping things cheerful: geraniums, impatiens, begonias, etc. in bloom. Couldn't be without the lights since we haven't got enough sun coming in to grow anything to speak of at the windows.
