morning teat check on pregnant or psuedo pregnant kitty. when teats turn pink, she's within 2 weeks of d-day.
Kittehs can release eggs that grow and swell the belly in psuedo pregnancy by mating with a spayed male. Just the activity triggers the "pregnancy".

My only trip to San Fran was in the early 80's on my way to a rainbow gathering in WA state. A few college buddies had been there long enough to be fully established. They threw a magic mushroom party, replete with poetry reading and and musicians.
We headed out in the AM to "walk the fog" and get fresh sour dough as the bakery's opened.

Last night at 9:30, leaving my daughter's dance recital rehearsal at a local college, I lit up a cigarette. Speedette was laughing with her little friends fifty feet to my left. They and their parents were the only other souls around. I hear a voice behind me: "Sir, you can't smoke here." I'm halfway across the road between the building and the huge parking lot. I turned around; it was a fat cop. "What?" I said. "You can't smoke here. You have to go to the lot over there." I stared at him. "I'm just walking to my car." He said, "You can smoke in your car." Of course I don't smoke in my car with the Speedette in it. I turned away and kept smoking as I walked, slowly, to the car and called to my darling daughter. She got in and I stood and finished my cigarette.
Fuck this brave new world.
Peace.

I am big on the idea of micro-local self determination.
I rent a few rooms to pay the bills and am prohibited from renting more than two due to laws meant to prevent unruly college kid rentals outside of 'rental zones'.
I am going to suggest a change in the law to allow waivers based on petitioning one's neighbors for approval (which I would get).

What if Hillary saved Obama by destroying herself? Perhaps this is why nobody can really judge anyone.
What if assassination was painted to look like racism but WAS really done by the oil industry?
People don't seem to understand how truly corrupt big oil really is, and how they really don't want to lose those oil fields in Iraq. What if Hillary knew it too?
What if Hillary had more grace than anyone could possibly imagine?
