It's been pretty warm up here in the Pacific Northwest. Since my place gets sun exposure almost all day, it gets pretty hot in here. I've been using a trick I read about with good results. It might be worth mentioning it here. One of my fuzzbutts favorite hiding place is a drawer in a small dresser in my bed room. I cleared out the drawer and laid out a couple of towels. Next, I took a platic two-liter soda bottle filled with water that was sitting in the freezer over night, laid it in the middle of the drawer, placed a towel over it and closed the drawer. When I turn my boys loose in the morning, they play for a couple of hours and then make their way to the drawer. When I check the drawer, I find the three of them snuggling next to the bottle. The ice will last all day. Joe Phred, "This is the life!" Timon, "Yeah, rasins and an air-conditioned room." Hobbes, "I just wish the litter box wasn't so far away. Oh well, Dad should have known better." [Posted in FML issue 1644]
