It's probably my browser, but ....
I use a beta browser most of the time, and today is no exception.
But what really pissed me off was that FOX news site. Not the content, not the usual complaints about Murdoch News, but the fact of the menus from the side there: they open on contact with the mouse cursor, obscure the article, and await a definitive command to close the menu. That just seems bizarre.
As to the story itself: I once found a neighbor's cat, wounded and mauled with a knife. The cat was in bad shape. We found the neighbors and all rushed the cat off to the vet's together. The nearest vet was at a major-chain pet store, I don't remember which. But the store manager prevented the vet from doing anything before we produced two-hundred dollars up front. We actually had to scramble out to cash machines while this vet waited with a needle in his hand to do the only thing he could do.
And in Oregon, pets aren't property. You can't charge anyone with destroying them for anything more serious than a routine cruelty-to-animals charge that a guy I know got for shooting a cat's head off with a .22. At least it was quick that way.
My friends all know that my cat is a member of my family. I
will kill and die for her if that's what it comes down to. (See? There is a line where I'll resort to violence.)
thanx,
Tiassa
