I look at "Mutts" every day (I get it by e-mail), and I love it too, Elyse. And the "Shelter Stories" (which he does every year) also make me very sad, for the same reason. I want to bring every one of them home, too.

Dear Mr. O'Donnell --- Your "Shelter Stories" are making me cry. Today's strip (Philo) just did me in. When I adopted my kitty it was with the understanding that she would be an "only", a promise I've kept all these years. But your "Shelter Stories" make me want to go to the shelter right now and bring all the waiting animals home. I love "Mutts"!

It's an amazing feeling to know I am actually succeeding as a Science major with a 3.6 GPA overall

Congratulations, Alysser! Well done!

My dad has a bird feeder in the back yard and he and my mom enjoy watching the birds as they visit. (And the kitties too ) Today they saw a rose-breasted grosbeak (sp?) in the grass under the feeder.

Cool, I haven't seen one of those in years!

I have a question for those of you who use an iPod. Fry's Electronics has the iPod Shuffle on sale for $45. I sit in an office at work with two other people. One has a radio that she sometimes plays for us, but not always. The office is super quiet and I just need some background music. I'm wondering ... should I go get the iPod? You pay by the song on iTunes, correct? Can I transfer songs from CDs onto iPod? An iPod would be an ideal solution because I could listen with ear buds. It would not disturb my other co-worker, who likes quiet. Should I save up for the iPod Nano, though? If you have an iPhone, does it also function as an iPod? I heard on the news that the iPhone is now the most popular camera in America.

And Taz Zoee, guess what song is stuck in my head again? Pink and Nate Ruess! I like that song sooo much!

Yes, you can load an CD into iTunes, so the music will be on your iPod! I love my little iPod, make sure yours come with earphones so you don't need a dock for it! You can buy songs on iTunes, or other places, too - they are usually 99¢ or so, and then they are yours. And there are always free ones. You can also susbscribe to pod cats, that you can set to download onto your iPod! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Note to self:

Clean out cache files, temps, etc BEFORE running a root level antivirus scan.

3 hours is a touch long to wait......

On my way to work today I saw three 18-wheel trucks marked "Taylor Swift RED Tour 2013". Must have been taking her sets and equipment to the next tour stop. I know she has a date in Chicago in August ... I wonder where they were coming from, or where they were headed. I'm guessing Taylor Swift doesn't travel in an 18-wheel truck from city to city! I wonder if she has a bus like some stars do, or if she goes by airplane. She's so young and so successful. Lots of talent, that girl.

There was a serious airplane crash on Saturday in San Francisco, California. 180 people were hurt and two were killed. And a freight train derailed in Quebec, caused a chemical spill and people had to be evacuated. Scary.
