A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Douglas Adams Quote
Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.

In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Teddy Bear
Growing up most kids have a favorite teddy bear. Mine was a pink rabbit named… Lord, I can’t remember it’s name. I still have him. He’s not so pink or furry any more. He went everywhere with me. Flopsy Rabbit. It just came to me. Flopsy has floppy ears. My dog growing up, Peanut, ate one of Flopsy’s eyes and Mom replaced it with his nose.
But this isn’t about Flopsy. This is about my current teddy bears. I have 2. One is named Houdini and one is named Irwin (after Steve Irwin the Croc Hunter). They are cats. I never was traditional in my teddy bear choices. Oh… and there’s the whole… they’re alive thing too. Irwin likes to lay up against me under the covers. Snugged up against me. And Houdini. Well, he’s not happy unless he is laying on bear (excuse the pun) skin. He likes to be up by my faces so I can pet him and then we go to sleep – Houdini in the teddy bear position. I’m lucky. They love me so. Most of my cats are snuggle cats. They like to be on you or have a paw on you. Wellll… not you, unless you are my Beloved David, but me & him (him being David the founder of www.kalarhythms.com)
