Personal

Kentucky has been going through some tough times with a horrendous ice storm that has devastated the western side of the state. Someone posted a link to a blog of a KY inhabitant detailing the destruction with some breathtaking photos and a note that they don't expect to receive power for several more weeks. Ugh. The conversation with my wife included the following:

Wife: "This is a storm of a century, something that only happens once in a lifetime!"

In 2006 two of our cats, Valyn and Pixel, died from liver failure six months apart from each other. We hoped upon hope that just those two had gotten into something or that it was just coincidence that they both died of the same thing; thankfully at the time none of the others were showing any symptoms.
