Aka "Dr. Gitpaws" which is a tongue-in-cheek amalgam of my love for Science, guitar, and dogs, cats, and assorted critters. Yes I do have a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry (Ohio State, 1979). Currently owned and being trained by Scooter, the semi-feral cat.

What Year Is It GIF Alt: What Year Is It GIF

I only knew it was Wednesday because we put the yard waste out. And tomorrow (now today 3AM), it will be Thursday because we are putting the garbage out. My life runs on refuse days!

Next week I will be completely adrift since Columbus day (Monday) screws up the whole week!
Help!

Yeah, my male went about 2 weeks ago. I think (haven't seen him since). But I just saw the female yesterday, so I'm continuing to fill the feeder. We're about to drop 20 degrees here (80/60) to (60/40) by Friday, so I expect she will be saying "Hola Mexico!" by then.

Poor Clipy. He looks kinda wired up. All those years of holding it together, just to loose it in the end. Well, he certainly showed his mettle before he went around the bend...
