Fraa-gee-lay … it must be Italian …

There is a window downtown where this is burning brightly right now.

It’s a major award.

This was an unintentional mid-20th century post

Song of the day, which was on the radio when I cranked the car this morning:

And that tune will stick with you in a delightful way.

Saw this on the drive home …

That is an awesome, bipartisan, bumper sticker.

I have Eisenhower buttons, but sadly no Truman examples. You can see more of my campaign buttons here.

Keep ’em separated

At the vet, picking up the special food our special cat demands, I saw this sign:

I assume these signs are meant to keep them from living together. Or maybe it’s some other joke.

It still counts

It doesn’t matter if it was a training run, or criminally slow. It does, somehow, count, that it was quite chilly and very foggy.

What’s important here is that another half-marathon was put into the books. A half-marathon was completed at an arbitrarily important birthday. (I do not know what is happening.)

(Today, meanwhile, it is 2 degrees. Two. Dos. Zwei. Deux.)

No individual mile splits were good, but that’s not important right now.

When your fur just isn’t enough

We have two fuzzy throw blankets, a white one and a brown one. They are identical, except for the color. They were gifts from my mother-in-law. I can’t tell you, without a video demonstration, the absolute lengths Allie will go to avoid these blankets to get to a hooman or otherwise just move around on the sofa.

But let it get a little chilly …

And this is how I measure temperature these days: Is the cat covered up?
