I live on a flat, corner lot. No matter which way the wind blows the leaves always end up on someone else’s lawn. Alan is right about the arctic highs that roll down here in February. The air is extremely cold, clean, and dry. That means no clouds or snow, just clear skies and bright sun. They seem to stick here and all the dirty weather rolls around them. On the still days, I open our westward facing garage door in the afternoon, sit in the sun and do crossword puzzles. Our large male Persian cat curls up on a lawn chair cushion on the floor beside me and naps. It’s our way kicking the winter blues. At night I set up Rocky’s Bar and Grill so he can keep an eye on his territory.

In the winter it has Lexan portholes to shelter him from the cold. In the summer they are replaced with plastic grills made from suspended ceiling vents. Keeps him occupied, and we don’t have to worry about him disappearing into the night.

Paul that last pic is classic.

Don’t you have to be a Bond villain to own a cat like that? :wink:

Man, what’s he upset about? I guess getting his picture taken. How do you keep the garage door down without the sensors kicken it back up?

The only leaves I chase are the ones that get into my gutters.
The rest are free range leaves most of them travel on, and some other leafdoer will heard them up.

He putting on his macho face to scare introduders off his territory. Most of the time he looks like this,

or this.

Must have had a pretty lumpy nap sleeping on that styrofoam insert though. I moved the sensors on the door tracks up a couple of feet so he doesn’t trip them. I also disengage the traveller so the door rolls down freely. The inserted panels are in the tracks at each end, and the weight of the door holds them in place.

Only if you are bald and wear a gray suite, and need glasses. :)

Okay, how do you get smilies to work here? I see others doing it, but cannot figure out how to get to them. Found out that I cannot copy them from another site.
