Why is it that the train passes through right when I’m approaching the tracks? It’s like you’ve got a tracking device on my car or something. Seriously, welcome. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home. Ignore the second door on the right; it’s just the coat closet. ---

Hiya, **FollowMeDown!** Welcome! Welcome! Hey, what’s the plural of caboose? Cabeese, maybe? Sorry I’m late. I’ve been working with the squid and the squid’s cousin, the cuttlefish. We’re trying to make a kind of[Asian ice cream](http://icecreamjournal.turkeyhill.com/index.php/2010/06/29/would-you-eat-it-squid-ink-ice-cream/) but I tell you, it’s really tough, mainly because _they_ keep getting into ink fights! :mad: It’s supposed to go into the ice cream, not everywhere but! _They_ think it’s all good, clean fun but they’re not the ones who have to scrub the counters, floors, walls, ceiling, bowls, the axillary ice cream machine, me and, well, you get the idea. Would be a dandy recipe if I get them to cooperate, though! (As an aside, I’ll thank you not to make any wisecracks about 50 Shades of Gray describing the color of my skin and hair.) By the way, the above linked article describes cuttlefish as cute and cuddly. The writer obviously never saw a cuttlefish when he meets a goat. Cute and cuddly, my sweet inky hiney! Apparently there’s one of those family grudges that goes back generations. I didn’t really get the whole story but I wound up having to temporarily banish the goat from the basement kitchen. A word to the wise, you might want to stay out of his way for a while. And, above all, if you happen to meet up with him in one of the corridors, don’t mention the state of his hair. He’s really quite vain and cuttlefish ink takes to goat hair like…like…well, I don’t know what but if I’m a little sensitive about my current condition, just multiply that by hundredfold, add in the goat’s normal temperament and you get the idea. The cuttlefish has to go back home tomorrow so it looks like I’ll just have to quit on this project. Good thing, I guess. I’ve been doing way more refereeing and scrubbing than making and eating ice cream. Maybe I’ll try something tamer next time. I see there’s one made with cactus. They may be prickly but they should cooperate, at least. ---
