Called St. George Animal Control and got his answering machine: "Leave a message and I'll get back to you within 24 hours." It's been three weeks. I'm used to the dragon: Consulted the original Intelligent Designer. Put a dish of Alpo on the porch with a side bowl of Aquavit. Got a bag of marshmallows and cut a lonnngggg bra... More..

Drag Racing Down Walker Mill Road The old Buick had personality, we all agreed to that. Perhaps it was just our way of accepting the crack in the lower left corner of the windshield, the clicky whine on ignition, and the emergency brake that had to be disengaged with a hammer. Whatever.

Mom was reticent, withdrawn, painfully shy, and therefore rarely went anywhere socially-a state of affairs which left my extroverted father in a quandry at times.
