One Damn Good Cat.
We love and miss him lots.
...For that familiar voice, that fur,
That soft weight missing from our laps,
That we had loved too well perhaps
And mourned from weakness of the heart:
A childish weakness, to regard
An animal whose life is brief
With such affection and such grief.
If this is foolish, so it be.
He was good company,
And we miss his gift
Of cat affection while he lived...
...Who gave the pleasure of himself:
The memory of our cat, Ralph.
- Garrison Keillor
from In Memory of Our Cat, Ralph

Because AOL/Compuserve is being a butt...
- They just conveniently decided LiveJournal users are using too much bandwidth by posting pictures (coincidently on the same weekend they launched their own journalling service - *SNORT).
Sooo...

A WillYaLookitThat! moment...
A fisherman gave MN an eel that he'd caught on a deepwater longline and said in all his years of fishing, he'd never seen one before. There was a crowd of biologists milling around in the wetlab trying to identify it. The focus on the camera was misbehaving, and of course I didn't bring mine. But we finally got it to work. It's always fun finding new critters. It brightens up our day.

Top of head:
Hard to see, but it did appear to have photophores (little glow in the dark dots) various places on its head and next to the ventral fin. We're not sure, but after consulting "The Deepwater Fishes of California." we think it might be a dogface witch-eel (Facciolella gilbertii - Family Nettastomatidae).
Another one in this family is Venefica, which means, I gather from various Goth websites, a witch who brews and dispenses poison. Poor little eel, what did it do, to get such a name?

Hee...
bigbigtruck is just too funny. She's also a wonderful artist and has done some great Cowboy Bebop fanart.

What I want to know is:
Is Jet recommending Midol? Or taking it? He does seem to PMS quite a bit.

Yummy smells and fuzzy paws
Plumeria and kangaroo paws are blooming. I was surprised to see some plumeria blooms on the ground, when I didn't even know they were opening; I guess because all the inflorescences are above my head now. Seems like only a few years ago Doug brought down a cutting from Dale's yard (they haven't been together for what, going on 10 years? Although, they're still friends...). These are the same ones they make leis out of in Hawaii. Gareth told me they smell like gum. I thought it's more like perfume, but what do I know?
I'm a little proud of the kangaroo paws, I managed to grow them from seed. After they stop blooming though, I need to dig them up and separate them - for some reason, my father stuck a bunch of fortnight lilies right next to them and they're taking over. I only have these yellow green ones; I'd love to get some different colors. I fell in love with these when I went to Australia.
On closer examination, I think I found some lacewing eggs. They were scattered here and there, all over the stems. All right for predatory bugs! There's plenty of aphids for them to get munchin' on.
