I interrogated the cat the other night, and even under the glaring light of truth, he denied everything. But I could see that guilty glint in his eyes, so I sent my dog after him and, according to the dog, it's all taken care of. I haven't seen the cat since, but the dog assures me I have nothing to worry about. --Clover, who's going to get a parakeet. -- __ ,=. ,=" "==.__.=" o".___ ___ _ ,=.=." ___/ / __| |_____ _____ _ _ ,==.," \ \ ,==="" | C__| L o\ V / e_) r_| > ,==.==,"'"=\_/====" \___|_\___/\_/\___|_| `==' cf @easystreet.com
