smacky and bucky

Off on vacation all next week! I'll still have to get online, about once a day, to check work email, so if anything interesting or funny happens, I'll post.

I can already hear the blender making the pina coladas.

Oh I can't go through all the archives, but I believe I mentioned here our cat Buzz's hatred of riding in cars. We've tried putting him in a crate with his sister, putting him in a crate by himself, holding him in our laps, drugging him with over-the-counter medications, drugging him with prescribed Prozac from the vet. Nothing works! He screams most of the way, as if someone is jabbing something into him. Well, the cats are coming with us on our vacation. Wish us luck! It's normally a three hour drive, but with holiday traffic, it could take four or more. I wonder if it's safe driving with earplugs...
