Jello is benign in comparison with Gumi Bears and the various imitations thereof. The main difference is that Jello doesn't pull your fillings out.

Hermione's son Jim was Lieutenant James Cock in the British Army. He changed his name to Cox when he moved to the United States, just in case he should happen to meet Spaw.
You would have liked him, Spaw. He was a singer and a halfway-decent guitarist, and he was a well-known clogger. He wrote poetry about the Gold Rush and the Sierras, and recited his poetry while clogging - an old Appalachian tradition.

Trapping neighborhood cats.

Let's talk about something non-contraversial like letting "house" cats run loose in the neighborhood.

letting "house" cats run loose in the neighborhood....then letting the dogs off their leads and then sit back, over Tim Horton's coffee and donuts, and watch....

I've been in Trinidad and Cuba where house cats AND dogs run loose everywhere, and I liked it. It made life a lot more interesting. Now, in Trinidad, for example, there are a lot of smallish hounds that you see everywhere...the Trinidadians call them "pot hounds"...and they are the typical street dog. There are thousands of them running loose, and they are not dangerous...they have worked out their own sort of doggy society and relate mostly to each other rather than to the people. There are also larger and more dangerous dogs kept as guard dogs on various walled properties...but they do NOT roam around on the loose, they stay behind their owners' walls. There are a smattering of cats as well, and they must stay quite alert to avoid getting caught and eaten by the pot hounds.

It's noisy at night, but you get used to that soon enough...you have no choice! ;-) After the first three nights of exhaustion I could sleep through any amount of barking and howling.

I find the easygoing attitude of those southern places far better than the tightass mentality of North Americans, who have to have a frikkin' rule for EVERYTHING. We try to make life perfect here with a million laws, but we don't succeed...we just increase everyone's general stress level and people get weirder (and more spoiled and bored) as time goes by.

Actually I've just had wonderful jumping up and down session to Ashley Hutchings's Morris On recordings and some other dance recordings, with my 5 year old granddaughter *LOL*

I sang a bunch of Pete Seeger covers on his birthday this past weekend while I was at the Rochester Sweeps.

That is Rochester Kent, UK and the Sweeps festival is a Morris and music extravaganza.

Heard some great music.

I am happy it is Friday again. Off to Stratford u Avon to visit TheSilentOne's parents this weekend.

Was he a Cockney, perhaps?
