Hi folks - Here’s my thoughts on Sunday’s posts from the prior MMP. Sounds like most folks had a good day except for a certain cat falling off a fridge, and a python running amok. Hmm … _can_ a critter with no legs “run amok”? If not, what sort of amokking can they do? 😉 Enquiring minds baffled at this one.

Yaay for wolves! And generally successful trips, net of traffic.

This. And congrats **CatGlove** on more progress with hubs.

This! **BBBoo** be the nursest with the mostest. Battle damage notwithstanding.

Ouch! You can’t even hear the pitter-patter of their little feet. So they’re real hard to find if they have a head start. Good luck and let us know how the great Python Hunt went.

I resemble that remark. :leer:

Good luck with that. Seriously, but I’m not taking bets. But, ref my earlier comment, at least that proves you found him/her.

Nooo: 😱 **Shoe** ’s gonna wig out. Good to hear your meds are leaving you less woozy.

Having been the ~~eldest~~ ringleader of a gang of miniature hooligans who traveled a _lot_ as kids, I can’t agree more. Getting the hell away from Mom and Dad was vital to kidly sanity. But usually had to wait until we returned home.

You know _all_ the best places. Sounds awesome. You could lead a truly epic Doper or MMPer pub crawl.

Same applies to children. Or so I’ve heard.

And the young idjits keep standing on your lawn!

The injustices are endless. May your dudgeon be both high and righteous!

  

And with that I’ve finished Sunday’s comments. I’ll get to your 60-and-still-counting Mon posts sometime later today.

Cheers & Happy Moanday! Or what remains of it here at not-quite-noon.
