   And now 4:35 PM Central, nothing.

   Was this supposed to be one of the rerun Sundays, and the “normal” upload to GoComics wasn’t properly scheduled?

   Brad probably knows it was Snowball; he likely was an accompice. And he also (probably) knows that Snowball isn’t really poor; it’s a scam to get Angora back to Viego Gato!

   For Elizabethan corset-dresses, there was a pointed bit at the bottom of the torso, called the busk. There was at least one Elizabethan dance where the men would pick up the women, using the busk as a hold-point.

   I also remember a skit (at a con? on You-Tube? Somewheres) where a costumer lectured about “bodice-rippers”, with a demonstration of “break-away bodice for the effect” as opposed to the actual bodice, where the man could shake her, pick her up, and carry her around by the bodice (as she was still lecturing, slightly out-of-breath).

   We went up to Wisconsin and cut our tree yesterday. Actually got the first one we looked at! Went down a couple of rows and looked at a few more, but decided that none of them were better than the one right at the edge. And there was a smaller one next to it, that now should have more room to grow big for next year.

   We’ve found that fresh trees, cut yourself, last much longer. We also wrap a shroud around the cut end before hoisting it onto the car, so not as much air gets forced into the tubules.

   After the tree is pitched into the yard somewhere around the middle of January, I’ll drag it off to near our brush pile, use my 3’ long nippers to cut off the branches, and cut it into Yule log lengths, to dry in the basement until next year. (Although, I admit, last year’s tree didn’t get dis-branched until about two weeks ago. This year, I’ll go out in the snow and cold and work on it.)

   You obviously need to have books scattered all around, so that if you fall and can’t get up, you can reach a book.

   And don’t forget Paisley’s telekinetic kittens! They can play some of the orphans, too!

   Gutter might be able to see Sophie, but he’s on her bad eye’s side, so she may not notice him — until a “chance encounter” makes their eyes meet…

    Didn’t you read what he said? His stylist is keeping him from going bald. So the leaves have to be kept green so they don’t fall off.
