i like the rain
the sound of rain just makes everything seem nice, so long as you are in a nice snug place.
i hope that punxsutawney phil is right, and that we're going to have another six weeks of what passes for "winter" around here.
i've been thinking about global warming a lot since i blogged that article about the NASA scientist. i want to research a post on vehicles that put the smallest amounts of greenhouse gasses into the environment (besides hybrids-- i know hybrids are the best of all commonly available vehicles for emissions).
i've been talking to a lot of people about their experiences in treating a cat with hyperthyroid. it's very common. as of today, i am coming around to the idea that irradiating my cat might not be such a good idea for his long term health. i've now spoken with two people who had thier cat die 1-2 years after the treatment, one from lymphoma, and one from undiagnosed causes that might have been cancer. most people choose medication.
tonight i went to the new thai restaurant on university (across from q shack) with d&s. tasty. decent service except that the waiter brought us back $10 less change than he should have, and s. was nice enough to deal with straightening it out.
this weekend, i'm off to Va. M. & Xta are going to watch over moseman, but i think he'll be just fine.

I like the rain too. I think it's stopped. The sound it makes on my skylight is nice, but my hearing is so bad that I rarely hear it much. I could do with a good thunderstorm too, especially if I could see some of the lightning.
How well does the I-131 treatment work with humans? Problem rate there might give you a handle on the problem rate with cats. BTW, my note on the other Moseman post sounded kinda snotty. I didn't intend that. It just seemed kinda odd that 2 friends both had cats with essentially the same problem at the same time, and I'd never even heard of the problem before. Anyway, sorry if it sounded bad.
