What, you can’t do a Google Image search?

Awww. Best wishes (and gentle scritches!) to her.

This whole thing made me remember about a year ago, when I looked up at work to see, in the lobby, waiting for their pizzas, about half a fire truck’s worth of, um … yeah … I lost my train of thought.  
As I did that day.

They probably love the attention, and the easy (e.g. non life threatening) call.

Do let us know when he brings home your 3rd cat.

That counts.

When the hell did Arizona become “damn Yankee” territory?

This whole side thread has been a winner, start to finish.

Why do I get the feeling our lovely @JaneDoe42 has a few “fireman/floozy” stories already?

Aw, naw.

Last year, I decided I _like_ seeing my Christmas lights, dammit. And a coupla ornaments I’d hung on the wall in random spots.

Stayed up all year.

Bonus: home is pre-decorated for this year!

But seriously, I enjoyed seeing the colored lights in the window when I pulled up, late at night. They make a dandy night-light, too, for bio-break time.

If I had a collection of twinkly things, I’d, dunno, hang them in a window or something to see year-round, holiday themes be damned.

I hope you have cheerful memories to keep you warm.

That’s a damn good idea.

It’s a bit after 2 p.m. I’ll get right on it.
