A more northerly angle of the same cloud cover from "Cloudy sunrise". Taken 2007/04/01 in the parking lot at work.
This went out over the e-mail system at work today; apparently someone found some kittens and wanted to see who was willing to adopt them.
This photo might scare some people off. Given the recent discussion and creation of the Laser Cats group, I had to upload.
By the time I got the e-mail, all the kittehs had been spoken for.

Today was my first full day of my Quit Day for not smoking. This is my second attempt for quitting. The first time tried to quit I didn't have a plan and wasn't prepared. This time I have a plan and I am prepared. I'm going to use the same tools I have learned when I was treatment and apply those with the quit smoking.
Work went good today. I was chewing the gum all day today. I kind of like that feeling where you are all calm because you are nicotined up..lol I think I had a few difficult customers but I really didn't notice. I really didn't let anything get to me either. My breaks was hard for me because that's when I usually smoke. It went alright though. I had my gum with me the whole time. I have noticed that I need to be doing something with my hands all time. Coming home from work was kind of hard too because I smoke then. It was really nice to have one of my managers stay with me and talk with me for awhile as I was waiting for the bus. He asked me that if I had any smokes on me and I said no. I didn't carry my lighter with me today which is good because I won't be tempted.
Well, I think that about it for today.
I took this shot on the Elliot Bay Bike Trail on the way to work, right before it started raining. It was very windy for most of the ride but this was a nice lull.
Insert, "dingo ate your baby" joke here.
Zoo animals and one human baby showed up at the office today to celebrate our founder and CEO's birthday.
