Good evening, GUSsacks! I hope everyone is doing well. The summer heat has finally arrived in Northern Ontario, bringing with it some majestically primal thunderstorms over the last week or so, all streak lightning and window-rattling sonic booms. It's pretty, but it keeps one awake at night -- which is fine, because I bought my cats a couple of new catnip mice and they've been having freak-out attacks at three in the morning lately, running from the bedroom to the living room and back at top speed six or seven times in a row before pouncing on the mouse and loving it to death while they lie on their backs. It was fun the first time. It's paled since.
