As a distraction, take a look at Fluffy.

You can also view the latest comedy of errors related to the 1974 Caddie Fleetwood. Keep in mind that it has a blown motor, the tranny shaft is disconnected, and the cloth top is partially missing. Getting it home from Midland MI was an experience that I'm glad I was not a part of. The delivery of the car, on the other hand, I was unable to avoid. Picture me coming home to find myself involved in the following montage.

Finally, I have put up a page of photos of my new pets. Actually, pet. <sniff> I lost the big one, Gouury, to an insidious case of mouthrot which developed from a nose bump and led to pneumonia consequent resperatory failure. I am pretty sure that it was not my fault, considering that I cleaned his mouth 2x a day with nolvasan and was providing him with I.V. antibiotics. I was also tube hydrating him to keep him from kidney stress/failure from the Amakacin (the antibiotic). But try as I might, I could not cure him. On further research, I have a sneaking suspicion that he was suffering from diptheric stomatitis (a nigh-incurable strain of moutrot). Regardless, here're some pix of Gouury and Lina, my Coastal Carpet Pythons.
