No, not the rain, though that too. It's Friday.

The cat is the only non-gregarious domestic animal. It is retained by its extraordinary adhesion to the comforts of the house in which it is reared.

Back a few weeks ago when I mentioned Ralphie, I realized that there weren't any pictures of him to link to (in fact, that's not quite true). Friday is the traditional day to fix problems like that, right?

And when he isn't being an obstacle to typing, he can usually be relied upon to be cute. That's his job.

Is it still the cat's bed if I lie in it?

The cat has a different job, not that she isn't cute too.

What dog's bed? This is mine.

In his bed, naturally.

Heh. The URI, which I've deleted, and the email address associated with the preceding comment pretty clearly peg it as comment spam of the porn variety. But if it was machine generated, it was generated by a fairly clever machine given it's apparent relevance.

So clever, in fact, that I almost didn't notice the bogus link.
