I shudder to think! Was is chicken? <G>

I used to do Mickey D's occasionally until I couldn't take it anymore. I
recently discovered a hole-in-the-wall "dump" a block over from my office
that looks as though it was stuck in the 1950s. They serve a respectable
quarter-pound burger with the works along with an order of fries (fresh
cut and fried - a little greasy but great flavor) for a measly $2.79. A
large drink makes it $4.00, and if you want to splurge, a 32 oz hand-made
milkshake or malt can be had for $1.50.

It matters not to our tiny cat, Millie, whether it's a live or fake tree.
In either case she manages to climb it and lay across a couple of
branches, all without it crashing to the floor. Our bounder, Bailey, sit
in front of the tree and stares at Millie like she's some kind of nut!
