Cattitude -- there is no such thing as "lost cause"...

No trips to Nigeria for me...

I still get the occasional bullshit Nigerian 409 letter, or some other bogus "I got money for you" crap from some asshole. I don't mind, really -- it gives me the chance to let the weasel at the other end know what I think of him/her and pretty much guarantee that I won't get anything else from them. To wit:

Only once did I get a second email from such a sender; (s)he accused me of being racist -- which hurt my feelings terribly, I assure you.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Yup, it's April in Montana, all right. As I'm typing this, we're getting the beginnings of what the weatherguessers are claiming will be up to an inch of snow over the next 24-48 hours:

It isn't unusual for us to get one last snowstorm in late April; likely as not, it'll be a real biggie with the big soggy flakes that end up breaking off tree branches. This time we're getting off easy.
