Ravenous? (they've had melon, but...) Oh, well, if I go down with an infarction while raking the run Cass won't have to worry herself with funeral expenses (RECYCLE!

That needs to be the picture of the week!!!!!!!

I just love it. Her eyes are sparkling. She's drooling.

PC: That really is a somewhat misleading, i.e., AKA Velociraptor snap. The hen in the pic is a `hermaphroditic RSL named Big Red. She crows one count after the roo every morning (never any other time) and has a certain evil `rooish' expession (she is otherwise a 4yo dowager of distinction).

What I find interesting is that it is so easy for us to read these expressions after the 300 million, or so, years since we shared a common ancestor, must have something to do with all that conserved DNA.

I live in Michigan and I am really glad that I have never encountered that bug!
