The heat is getting to me...

I have a crazy idea ... well you might think it's stupid, then feel free to
say it or just ignore me ...
I'm having a hard time figuring out who in this newsgroup lives where and
have lost track of who owns what cats - not to mention their size and
colours!
The other day somebody mentioned that the frost has started (while we're
dying of heat here in Europe!!) so I figured out that this person must live
on the southern hemisphere.
So my idea: how about introducing ourselves briefly? (Income and number of
brothers and sisters may not be *that* important ;-))

I make a start:

Name: Carola, 46, teacher
From: Switzerland
Pets: Tom The Cat (Tuxedo, 11 months), dog (Eva, Jack Russell), two dwarf
rabbits (Prinz and Emily)
Crazy about: horses and all pets
Favourite food: ... well, let's stop here ...

I have heard about Texas once or twice...
But - excuse me - is Hilden an English name?
And - please excuse once more - is it a girl's or a boy's name?

I'm home sick today.  I was laying in bed reading a book, when all of the
sudden h0p climbed up his new stairs to the bed for the first time!  He
lay his head down on my leg and went to sleep for about an hour, got up
for head butts, scratches and purrs (still a rarity!), and climbed back
down the stairs.  Now he's just kind of hanging out on the bottom stair :)

He is, from the very beginning of his life when the colony lived mostly
out of the trash dumpster.  I love to hear him purr :)

A couple of months ago I read a story about a woman who had been attaked
by a "large, black cat" on Assateague Island.  From the reports of people
who had seen it, they thought a panther was loose on the island.

Last week I got mail from Alley Cat Allies that had a report on Smith
Island in Maryland (I've been there and yes, it is a totally strange
place).  The cat population on the island is higher than the human
population.

This week an adult male bald eagle was killed at the National Zoo.  They
think it was a bobcat from Rock Creek Park (where Chandra Levy's body was
found).

hmm...bobcats in an urban Maryland/D.C. park? Panthers??

OK ...the "bobcat" turned out to be a red fox.

OK, what's that then. I guess it's just a different name for a posting
we get in the British Navy but.....

79.84% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
The other 42% are made up later on.

It's an enlisted rate/job in the Navy.  We are the medics not only for the
Navy but Marines too.  If you watch any of the Vietnam movies, most time you
will hear  "Corpsman up!".
