    Did you drive by the house to see that? I’m not noticing any in that picture… although you are correct, some did!

    Finally almost home. Just gotta get some things together and walk up to da huose. Think pittsburgheze when saying that. So very tired. Drop an hook night before last turned into a live. There went 3 hrs, had to terminal and get windshield replaced and drop trailer there and something else. So searched for 2-3 hours for a trailer no luck all had issues. Then check in and wait. Only about 1 hr unconscious. Finally had to take one someplace then get another there and get my load. Now I can rest soon. someone did what I’m getting closer to with these warehouses that take so long. Yanked off the dock and fubarred the dot bumper.

    No, my super duper double wide some of siding came off. I snapped it back together, but not entirely length of it snapped back in, so i don't know if it's broke at this point.

    Every winter we lose three or four cats due to getting tangled up under the hood. We have a lot of barn cats and the cars and coyotes help keep the population low.
    Any more when I start up in the morning and hear all the screeching and yowling and thumping from under the hood I just drive over to the steam cleaner, take a deep breath, and clean up what I can.
    It rains a lot here and that helps clean up the mess too.

    Ain't much you can do about it, really.
    It's not like I'm going to start my day raising the hood on my car looking for stray cats. If they make it, fine. And if they don't, also fine. I'm cool with it either way.

    Yup. I have nothing against cats but I don't have the time to mess with them. They're just another part of the background around here. The barn cats keep the mice and rats down and that's a good thing. I also have a large bull snake population and they chow down on rodents too. They also like pigeon eggs. I like the bull snakes a lot better than the cats as far as earning their keep.
    No cats are allowed in the house and I fought a never ending battle with my kids on that one..."But Dad it's snowing outside". Goes to window, looks, says "Yes it is. It's snowing on the cows, the horses, the dogs, and the cats. Equal snow for everyone. The other animals all found shelter. If the cats are too dumb to find shelter they'll likely die. That's part of the great circle of life".
    I notice when I go to my kids' houses now they have cats and the cats stay outside.
