My New Weather Predictor

I no longer have to consult my computer for weather forecasts. All I have to do is look at Gwen. Saturday night, I was preparing to go to work and noticed Gwen sitting in the exact center of the apartment, so I'd have to step over her no matter what room I went into. She does that only during thunder storms. I looked out the window and the skies were partly cloudy and the ground was dry. But, but the time I got to work, about 20 minutes later, clouds were moving in and there was lightening everywhere. It's 1 am and I see her now in the same place. The wind has just started to rattle my verticle blinds (I hate those things). Time to close the balcony door. What amazes me is how she's able to do that before a storm even gets near. UPDATE: 1:15. I hear thunder.

My sister's cat has 'adopted' a stuffed monkey, a toy squeaky weasel, and a couple of other things as a family.

Cooper took his family to the basement before a storm and piled them in the center of the floor supposedly to keep them safe.

Must have to do with the barometric pressure. Many animals, including humans, have some sort of long distance radar for danger--I myself can smell the rancid stench of liberals a mile away...

You need to get yourself a parakeet, too. If terrorists launch a poison attack on us, your parakeet will die first. That way you know to seek shelter.

My left leg predicts rain, too.

I thought about getting a parakeet, but I got a pizza instead.
