On my soapbox now
I must say that I have not had a lot of posts about politics or whatnot.
I do think that TEXTING WHILE DRIVING is one of the most irresponsible, selfish, stupid, thoughtless, useless, stupid (did I mention stupid), dangerous, dim-witted, foolish, ill-advised, reckless, careless things a person can do.
Click on the picture above to read about proposed federal legislation to blackmail states into banning this ridiculous practice. But for now, when you see someone TWD and swerving into your lane, pick up your phone, tell whoever you're talking to that you'll call them back, dial 912, dang, wait, where's the clear button, dial 91..oops, dropped it, where is that phone? Under the McDonalds bag... Got it! Now where did that idiot go? Oh, wait, there's another idiot. She's SMOKING, EATING, TEXTING AND YELLING AT HER KIDS! Aarg! Red light! Skreeeech!
Stupid idiots.

Explosion in a crayon factory
Sniffer dogs came upon a bomb in the Crayola factory. Unfortunately they were unable to defuse it in time.

Fennecs
No, I really have to go out...
Ears big you have
Don't poke me with that!
Fennec Senior Portrait
I can't be any cuter, can I?The Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda) is a small nocturnal fox found in the north of the Sahara Desert of North Africa which has distinctively large ears. Its name comes from the Arabic fenek, a term for various fur-bearing animals.
The Fennec Fox weighs up to 3.3 lb with a body length of up to 16 in. The tail is an additional 10 in or so, and the ears can be 6 in long. The coats are often a sandy color, allowing them to blend with their desert surroundings. Its characteristic ears serve to dissipate heat and to hear the movement of prey at night. Its ears are sensitive enough to hear large insects, such as beetles and locusts walk on the sand. Its coat reflects sunlight during the day and conserves heat at night. The soles of its feet are protected from the hot sand by thick fur.
The Fennec Fox is a nocturnal omnivore. At night, it hunts rodents, insects, birds, and eggs of birds. Much of the diet is desert vegetation, from which the Fennec Fox gets most of its water. This consists of grasses, some roots, and some fruit and berries.
