Ice Cream For Breakfast Day. It’s sort of cold for eating ice cream, but I think I could handle that.
National Frozen Yogurt Day. That’s pretty much like ice cream. but I like ice cream better.
National Chopsticks Day. No, I don’t think I could eat my ice cream with chopsticks.
National Play Outside Day. Nope! No way! While today’s predicted high temperature is going to be the “warmest” ( I use that term loosely) for the next week or so, they are only predicting a high of 8° F and that is MUCH too cold for playing outside. They’re not predicting any temperatures in the double digits until Valentines Day when they are predicting a high of 12° F.
National Lame Duck Day. On February 6th, National Lame Duck Day recognizes the ratification of the 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution or the Lame Duck Amendment.The term “lame duck” originated as a description of stockbrokers in 1700s England who could not pay off their debts. The name later carried over to those in business that would continue to do business while known to be bankrupt.
In politics, a lame duck is a person currently holding a political office who has either:
lost a re-election bid,chosen not to seek another term,been prevented from running for re-election due to a term limit,or holds a position that has been eliminated.
The 20th Amendment
Before the ratification of the 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution, Congress had a 13-month delay between election day and the day the newly elected officials took office. In other words, the lame-duck was given a 13-month termination notice, crippling their influence. Hence the ‘lame’ or injured duck.
Thank you, noreenklose, from yesterday’s comments for updating us on bbear. We all wish Bob well and hope he gets well soon. He’s fighting a mighty tough battle and we want to see him win,
Question for the rescue community: When Dr Susan was putting away cat carriers, someone had put an old mink (real) coat in one of them! It’s been there at least two months because that was the last time she sent any fosters up to Best Friends to get spayed. She called up there and nobody had a clue about it. So, she asked me if I knew anything about making a pet pouch for small animals. I don’t. I’ve tried googling the info but so far have come up empty.
If anyone knows where I can get info, would you let me know?
I’m surprised that’s This Side Up wearing the crown and not Lily. Either way, good poem. Maybe cats should be in charge of the world. After all, when was the last time a cat started a war? On another note, saw a sparrow, ten juncos, and two varied thrushes with out walking today.

This Side Up? Such a subtle difference with Route 9. Keep the crown, the king needs a warmer hat.
