    Having been the human master for both cats and dogs in my life, I can say confidently that there is absolutely no reason to hate cats, they are soft and somewhat affectionate, and they are excellent for rodent control.

    On the flip side, they have less than half of the emotional depth of dogs, they poop in the house, they are more allergenic, and often show little to no affection at all.

    Nothing to hate about them, but not that much to celebrate either lol

    I think it's pretty weird to hate any type of animal, or at least ones that aren't well-known to carry diseases.

    Here's some crazy facts about the rainfall that we got last weekend from weather.com

    4 TRILLION GALLONS: The total rainfall over southern Louisiana Aug. 12-14 was equivalent to more than 4 trillion gallons of water, according to Dr. Matt Sitkowski of The Weather Channel. That's enough water to fill more than six million Olympic-sized swimming pools, he added.

    31.39 INCHES OF RAIN: The maximum rainfall total for this event was 31.39 inches in Watson, Louisiana, just northeast of Baton Rouge. At least five other locations had observed rainfall totals in excess of two feet, all located north or east of Baton Rouge.

    Some amazing perspective here from Professor Brian Cox:

    -In around one billion years Earth will be destroyed by the Sun

    -In around six billion years the Sun will explode

    -In around ten thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion years the Universe will be nothing more than a sea of photons. By my calculation that’s actually one Googol years. It’s not often you get to use the Googol number, if you don’t know how much it is – google it. Oh, the irony :)

    -Cox also told us that “As a fraction of the lifespan of the universe … life, as we know it, is only possible for one thousandth of a billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billionth of a percent.” By my calculation, that means life is only possible for a period of one hundred trillion years (10^100 – 10^86 = 10^14).

    Strange Fact (says I): Political commentators like Rush are secretly rooting for Hillary to win because it means better ratings over the next four years.

    Interesting perspective. TO my way of thinking it's exactly the opposite. Another thing Cox has said elsewhere is that the odds of any kind life occurring anywhere at all are super slim and the odds of intelligent life such as us humans evolving is stupendously slim. We are a freak occurrence in a nearly infinitesimal bit of time and to not treasure that, to not make the most of it, to not value, nurture, take care of and value to the utmost the life cycles of this planet is, at least to my way of thinking, is the ultimate offense toward that gift of life we live in in this moment of time. To not treasure it, to throw it away, is insane.

    So sorry, Chadwick! My computer is a rather naive and trusting computer. It seems to think almost everything is safe, even with Malwarebytes installed.
