Good to see you here, Eiseley! Cinnamon says hello - and she asks any of you who like pit bulls to ask if she can please sleep on the foot of the REAL bed again. I let her on the bed last night, a one time thing, with her dog pillow, and she thinks all of a sudden she should sleep there every night. Tonight I let her return to the front room with the other dogs and put her pillow on that futon and she lay there quietly breathing with that tiny little whine in every breath that they can manage even when they're not really out-loud whining. Do you know what I mean, LH? Can dachshunds do that? So I let her take her cushion back into my room, but she's on the floor (she's on a Persian rug, but she is on the floor).

She may be only a pit bull, but she wanted me to remind Rap that if he heats his gun to 400^o to melt a screw loose that he might have a loose screw. Starting at about 390^o wood starts breaking down, turns to charcoal (she read it on the Internet so it must be true). Leave the screw alone, or you'll turn your gun to charcoal.
