Icy Talons Grip the Tame Prairie

From Coast-to-Coast am ~

Nebraska Sun Dog

1-7-10-- I got a call from my brother at work at about 10am and he told me about the "rainbows" he had seen in the sky. So I got out and took some pics of what seems to be sun dogs. We have had some extreme weather this year and a blizzard just yesterday. Maybe it’s a sign of more to come?

Greetings, my beautifully undulating Big Felines, yes, icy talons still grip the Kougaress’s tame prairie. Boo, hisses and ear-flattened claw strikes.

Icy talons... moi saw that description used in the amazing, fun and sweetly revealing article written by the author of MUCHO CALIENTE, Francesca Prescott, about her family’s Christmas vacation in Dubait.
Purring-yes, it was a *sun-warm*vicarious vacation for this Big Cat, one that was very much needed and very much enjoyed. Titled, Dolphins in Dubait, you can find it here ~ http://francescaprescott.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=81 ~

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 375 ~

Sylva’s eyes blinked open, despite herself, and focused on the room she’d thought was merely a dream. Still, a sense of disbelief lingered as she gazed at the more-than-fine furnishings. “Zeke,” she called out, propping herself up on one elbow. The name, the man hovered in her mind. And it had seemed natural to call for him. Hearing the heavier tread of a man, she rose upwards, resting on her palm. Damn, she felt disoriented. The man who entered roused her passions, painfully so. “Zeke.” He looked at her, concerned. But then, she’d spoken his name almost like a question.

Zeke slowly moved farther inside his bedroom. “Is something wrong, darlin’?” Confusion clouded his wife’s eyes, eerily similar to the veil of clouds still covering the sun, causing it to remain a silvery disc. “I feel caught between two worlds. Is this real? I mean I’m not dreaming, am I?” Since she didn’t seem wary of him, Zeke approached and sat on the edge of the bed. “You’re not dreaming, Sylva.” He gently placed his hand over hers. “What makes you think that?” he asked. “Everything feels odd. As if I’m here, but I’m not.” She touched his face, stroking.

RANDOM RANTS AND ROARS... OR, GET IT OFF HER FURRY CHEST...
First, at Unknown Country ~ http://unknowncountry.com ~ this article.

Beef Slime
There are some dangerous things going on, deep down where no one can see them. They have to do with food too: Depending on your genes, you may not get supersized eating a fast food hamburger, and you won't get super sick either, because many of these restaurants are now battling E. coli bacteria and salmonella by injecting their ground beef with ammonia.

PERSONAL NOTE: This Big Cat has not gone near a fast food restaurant for over fours years now... why?... one of those strong intuitive feelings that simply made her feel absolutely no desire or craving to eat any of that type of food.

The follow quote was said by the guest, Walter Burien, on Coast-to-Coast am, last night...
“Thieves do not like armed prey.” Plus ~ “Taxation is pure extortion.” And to paraphrase ~ “the states with the highest taxation have the most restrictive gun laws.”

Gee, go figure on that last one. Yeah, why would those states want an armed populace?
If you give it some true pondering, being taxed is equal to be enslaved, at least, that’s how this Big Cat sees it. How can you be a free individual if they can take away your home or property over taxes? Taxes, they say, you voluntarily pay.

Wish Upon on a Blue Moon New Year...
May your most romantic dreams come true...

Icy hot smooches from the Kougar...
