We had a sharp storm that is now pummeling the Northwest. I am also suffering from the annual flu bug. Yesterday, I started to walk outside. My 9 month old Tomcat began a very vocal performance, leaping in the air at me and finally grabbing onto my denim jeans with all four paws and began to bite me <img src="images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I untangled us twice. I had the door half opened when KA-BOOM!!! a huge Oaktree succumbed to root rot and took out 2 cars and half the APT roof. There was a shattered branch of 2 1/2' diameter filling the stairwell I would have descended moments earlier. My nieghbor said her 13 y/o cat was also agitated and vocal moments before the tree came down.
