Sunday – 18/4/2016 – World Wildlife Conservation Day

Crossover pic –

OMGosh, ADORABLE pics today, and a topic that is so dear to my heart, as I’m sure it is to everyone here. I saw a commercial on TV this week about making sure not to buy gifts that would promote the illegal killing of endangered species. Such as wooden animal statues that have ivory tusks, etc. and things with real fur.

Well, the weather is supposed to turn yucky~~rain/snow mix over to snow, but well, it IS December in the Midwest! What did I expect? 😛

Hope everyone’s day is lazy, slow, and relaxing. 😀

AV, actually haven’t had to call police in as yet, just called to ask them what my plan is should this guy ever harass me again.
Getting ready for spin class. Today awesomely tough Wed night instructor is subbing for Sunday person. Although she might take it down a bit when subbing, peeps do not know what they are in for. 😮

Hi everyone – wonderful pics! The rare jag video is amazing, such a beautiful cat. MS, the kitty high-fiving the internet is awesome!
KJ, the baby tiger yelling ‘snake!’ is too much! I could probably comment on every single pic posted – time spent on cat pics and videos is never wasted time!
I think a bit of your weather is headed this way overnight, KZ. They are saying less than an inch of snow. We’ll see…
Oooh, AV, how nice that Caddy kept you company yesterday. A repeat performance today would be great!
Hi Lagatta – I’m with you, habitat loss is right up there with poaching, problem-wise. Around here black bears are hunted because we keep building in the name of “progress and township revenue”. My immediate neighborhood, however, cannot be expanded because it is a lake community and also is backed by a state forest. Still, the bears come in, get accustomed to people, and unwittingly become “nuisance” bears.
I’ll have to get outside today and work on the shelters for my backyard panthers and tigers and wildcats.

Yes, Joan. I imagine the new episodes will stay up for quite some time.

KZ, I think that you, JJ and I are due for getting similar weather. Good that I have my boot waterproofing spray on hand. But what I truly detest is when cars seemingly deliberately go through slushy puddles and srsly splash pedestrians, like me, getting the c**p on their coats, etc. 🙁 Having “enjoyed” this experience more often than I care to, now when I see cars approaching I high-tail it away from curb. Then there are drivers who go through red lights, but I’ll leave it there.

AV, nothing like a big reno to make one happy! 🙂 Your kitchen must look awesome, like from a deco mag!

PG, I watched first episode of “Vikings” and found it a bit boring or rather lacking in action. But I am not one to give up and I sense that when they head back to England (or whatever its name was then) it will get more interesting. Bjorn does have his Dad’s looks, and Lagertha’s girlfriend, well for sure interesting!

ECB, don’t think it’s someone else making noise, ’cause if guy is saying it’s from floor above him, well I’d also hear it. I’ve had same prob with this guy a while back, he for sure has issues.

Did nearly witness police involvement today. Was in fave $$ Store where owner and I often chat about street finds, DIY and whatnot. Some kids were seen shoplifting. So the police were called as I believe this was not first time. One kid had complete hysterics and woman in line calmed him down some and tried to get owner to “uncall” police. Kid protested that he had money. They were by no means impoverished. My understanding is that shoplifting is for thrills. But if one is seen putting something in one’s pocket, well … owner told kids that police would prob just talk to them (and to their parents I would hope.) I don’t think that they would do hard time. 🙄 I felt no sympathy for them whatsoever and gave owner a paws up as I left.

PG and JJ, guess I can’t say that I hope that both your teams win, this being not possible, but enjoy watching the game. I know nothing of football LOL. I’m binge-watching PBS’ “Indian Summer” which I PVR’d some time ago. Neat not having to wait a week to see how series progresses. Simultaneously I’ll be getting sleeves of sweater knitted to next step towards completion. Yarn is proving difficult to work with, very fine blend of acrylic/faux angora/mohair. But judging from back/front which are done, will be very soft and pretty. IMHO.

Spin class was awesome. And loads of peeps. ‘Cause I sit right in front and instructor knows me for a “keener” I was asked to announce my RPM (revolutions per minute.) Thankfully they met with her approval. 😉 I’m not al all interested in watts, mileage or any other numbers, I just want to know that I am working as expected.

Congrats PG!
