Sunday, November 4th, 2007Greeting from the garden! When we’re not chained to the chair, and before darkness falls, we’re hitting the streets to catch a little fall color and sniff around. It’s a beautiful time of year but I fear the time change. After this weekend: dark at 5:00 PM.
If you get the winter blues […]
Confessions of a Small Bidnez Owner
Thursday, September 6th, 2007On a recent undercover assignment in the WORLD of the living, we attended our first staff meeting in three years. Scheduled at 3 PM, we burned two precious hours on attendance, and determining the color khaki.

Where do White Squirrels Go When They Die?
Saturday, July 21st, 2007To Wisconsin of course! From Roadside America:
In Sam Sanfillippo’s funeral home basement in Wisconsin, we’ve noticed a large number of albino squirrels among perky dead animal dioramas. They ride motorcycles and jeeps, shoot hoops, party in bars. There are more here than in all the wildlife museums and taxidermy collections we have visited.
