Jack ain't death with dignity- he is a freaking ego-driven circus. In
this age of the internet, a few minutes online can probably get you all
the technical instructions you need for a painless exit, rather than
some rube goldberg contraption in the back of a VW microbus.

Oren, were you born an asshole, or did you just practice a lot?

I'm sorry about your Lab, Steve. And I share the same feelings about our
own fates.

It has never occurred to me that a neighbor's cat was a problem and that
I should do anything to chase it away. I have a garden, and I'm unaware
of cats being a problem. OTOH, squirrels have been eating my veges. Cats
would only discourage the squirrels.

PS Dogs are another animal. They crap on my property and they are not
welcome. Not many running around unleashed (it's illegal here), but
neighbors seem to let them crap on my front lawn. I'm not ready to build
a fence in front, though.

One of my neighbors has a dog who occasionally takes a poop on my lawn.
She not only picks up that poop, but she'll pick up poop left from other
dogs, too. I asked her why she did it, and she said it was to make sure
that people don't get the bad idea from the idiot owners.
I thought that was pretty cool.
