It saw the cats and refused to let go. I think it is aware that hanging on the tree looking pretty gives it a fifty-fifty chances of surviving the holidays intact.

The Coolest Clouds

With daytime temperatures dropping down to the 50's and nighttime temps in the upper 30's to low 40's (we had a frost warning the other night), I'm pretty sure I turned into a girl it's so cold here. Next week, looks back to normal as the daytime temperatures head back to the 70's.

Oh, and the first person tell me how that's not cold WILL get some of our 120 degree weather during the summer when they complain that 95 is hot. Muhahahah hack hack hahahaha!

I just happened to have photographed his big butt as he ski'd across my table.

This is also for the Challenge Clarity because two things are very clear here. One, Santa's Butt and two, I'm definitely getting a lump of coal for Christmas after this.

View ... I wouldn't giggle if I were you, Santa's very sensitive.

This morning I awoke, slapped goggles on my cat and explained to him I was putting him in a small plane and he needed to fly it. He bitch slapped me, flung the contents of the cat box across the floor, called me an idiot and sashayed out of the room. I took that as a maybe.

I can't Photoshop worth beans. I can erase the occasional line or so but if it comes to cutting and pasting or layers, within 20 minutes I'm rolling across the floor flailing my arms and crying. Since my photos are sometimes "out there" a bit (Where else can you find a cat in a hat flying across the sky behind a fence) I have to construct a photo using practical effects
