Would love to have gotten together but tonight is Cirque and all day Sat. and Sun. I will be at a (ready? wait for it, waaaiiittt for it...) the Cotton States Cat Show. (insert ugh! here). Yup...two days of cats. All cats all the time. Jealous much? Yeah, didn't think so!! LoL! (but, there are some lovely kitties from the shelter up for adoption that we will have a the show).

Otherwise, ya'll have fun Sunday!!

If/when Blade comes to town it would be fun to all meet up. The Ga. Aquarium is really well done. The beluga whales are my favorite.

Since it's gotten colder, the bunny's nose, feet and ears have darkened...which is kind of odd, since it's clearly albino (its eyes are pink), so I didn't think dark fur was an option.

At any rate, it's doing great. It has come right up to me a couple of times, once even rubbing its chin on my finger (I found out later that's called "chinning", and it's the way rabbits leave their scent, similar to how cats mark you by rubbing the side of their faces on you).

I discovered that bunnies and chihuahuas don't share the back yard too well, but considering the bunny is bigger, he had the advantage. Still, he didn't like being chased, and when he fled the back yard, so did the chihuahua. Ooops.

I started to panic, envisioning this bunny hauling ass down the street, with the dog right behind him. But the damnedest thing happened: he didn't leave my front yard- he kept circling in my front yard, just out of reach of the dog. I'm calling for the dog, to no avail, wondering how on earth I'm going to catch the dog even if the bunny stays in my yard, when the bunny hops right up to me and STOPS, giving me time to scoop up the dog. I swear that rabbit was telling me, "could you PLEASE do something about this?!"

I'm a little in awe of this bunny. There's something a little magical about living in a neighborhood where we all share a pet bunny who drops by to visit.

JD,

Thanks so much for posting this! I was wondering with cooler weather how the little fella was getting along. Too cute and apparently very smart!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Gorgeous weather this weekend and I am determined to get those 300 tulip bulbs in the ground *today* followed by 6 flats of pansies (why, why did I put so many in my cart???)

Enjoy the day ya'll!!

DMW · 11-10-2012, 09:53 PM

JD... that is funnier than hell...I have been wondering about that bunny rabbit.
Wow, he/she is the neighborhood rabbit? I wonder what it's name is? I wonder if it has a home? Dang that is too much... Does it snow in Georgia? What about the winter time?

Katniss...i was thinkin' about that cop...and the tachometer...he was really being a smartass cause...
what he was refering to was how high the rpms were measured compaired to the speed. (You know, the tach measures the rotation of the engine per minute so, that is going to be really high.)

So, when you look down at the instrument cluster of the car...if you were to be measuring your speed by the tachometer....rotations per minute of the engine (rpms)... instead of the speed of your traveling car (miles per hour) that would be a helleva lot higher number than the tachometer Numbers that are shown...ie...the basic numbers...the big 2, 3, 4, 5 etc...The number 2 on the tach = 2k per minute...

Basically, i believe the two variables are linear and logarithmic...but the tach speed, of the engine, is exponentially higher compared to the miles per hour of the taveling car.

so, that smartass was basically saying oh...so what were you doin' lookin at the wrong circle on the instrument cluster? and measuring your speed by that....what a ***kin' asshole...

what an asshole

Ok...I read what you wrote 3 times and...

I still don't understand. But...I will totally cop to breaking the law (<--cop, get it? Like how I did that? LoL) but have to say the $198 ticket plus the $200 tacked on top of that for being a "super speeder"...well, that was an expensive day. I could have flown somewhere for that kind of money. But, my fault so I won't fuss about it.

DMW · 11-12-2012, 08:00 AM

Well, what i wrote was confusing and it was hard to explain.
Sorry i made your head spin...mine did too.
There is more to it. A lot more.

So, when you look down at the instrument cluster of the car...
the tachometer is obviously on the left.
When going a certain speed the tachometer correlates with
the speedometer and rises as the speed does accordingly.

That cop was basically accusing you (he did ask though, smartass)
of watching the tachometer numbers and using it's numbers,
as though it was the speedometer to verify(or keep in check) your speed.
and if so....that would be really fast! If the tach is at number 4
you would be going faster ie...than 40 miles an hour.
Highway driving.

You are too damn funny Katniss...crack me up. Not so funny about the
$398 dollar dole out. I gotta go and look back at how fast you were goin'.
Yeah, that is kinda how it is. If you break the law...you gotta pay.
The laws are there for a reason. Indy rocks. Maybe you were an Indy driver
in your past life.

I'll save you the trouble...I was going 88 mph in a 65 mph zone. The "base" fine was $148 but then they tacked some other stuff on to it for a $198 total then added the $200 "super' fee. The reason I got off so cheap (said the judge) is because I am a "first time offender."

As to Indy...I have been to the Indy 500 six times as we used to live in Indy when I was in high school. I remember going out and watching the time trials when they were running after school let out. That was back in the "old days" when none of the "juniors" ran. It was Al Unser Sr., Mario Andretti, Bobby Rahal, etc. I actually won 1st place in the "Powderpuff Derby" racing my friend's Firebird (with mods.) back in Freshman year at college at the fairgrounds.
Of course now in Ga. it is all NASCAR all the time and you gotta' go to Talladega at least once. I've also been to monster truck events...yeah, my little red dirt girl background is showing now so I'll just "hush up."

I like AJ Foyt. of course.
Rick Mears too.

Andretti always pissed me off...ran too hot too long....burnout.
That is so cool that you won that Derby. Powderpuff My A**

Happy Holidays everyone. Katniss try running a stop sign.(lol) If anyone wants a bunny for Xmas ive got 6 pregnant bunnies. I will give you a few free. (lol) Have a great Thanksgiving!

Think I'll pass on running a stop sign. I was ticketed for that once in small town Mississippi (I did NOT do it for the record). The police were pulling over any car with an out of state plate as we ramped off the interstate. Total scam. I admit when I am in the wrong but that was a dirty set-up. Hate to say that as I so respect the community service workers (police, fire, rescue, etc.) and think they deserve more pay.

As to bunnies....check with JD...maybe his "white rabbit" needs some friends....

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend. Just saw "Skyfall" this evening and it was the best Bond film ev-ah!

Katniss~~

Katniss · 11-21-2012, 04:44 PM

Hope all the Georgia peeps have a fabulous Thanksgiving! This weather is why I loooove the South. Just gorgeous. Drive safe, have fun and hug those you love!

....with video!

The bunny is doing well (as you can see)... but I think maybe it's time for the people on my neighborhood's listserv to quit referring to him as the white rabbit. Fascinating how the fur on the ears and nose has gotten darker.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! I'm going to try to make it to Santaland Diaries tomorrow and pay homage to David Sedaris and a middle-aged man dressed like an elf.

Thanks for the bunny update and he/she is SO adorable!!! I can't get over how it doesn't seem to even leave the yard. I guess the bunny is too big to be prey for a hawk, etc.? Last night I heard then saw a really large Great Horned Owl. Amazing sight and I hope the bunny stays safe.
