Ages ago I wrote a song, "The American Health Care Jig", and a nursing student friend wanted to use it as a graduation song. 'twas a bit of a roast .. no, they didn't use it ... but yes, I know. -- == Later... Ron C -- |

For me it's all about the kabuki mask quality of cat's expression; it totally cracks me up. That's totally a YMMV thing. I have been known to shoot the odd reluctant kitty. https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2p57l5fvkh8y8g/DSCF4285.jpg Anyway, goes to your premise: ...would be boring if we all liked the same things. :-) Yup! -- Regards, Savageduck |
