Spoonerisms: Self-Tinting Dipity

This morning, I was looking at Dipity lolling around in one of her bizarre positions in the electric lap, and I started wondering. As happens with all cats with the Siamese phenotype, she has been getting progressively darker, particularly on her back, as she's gotten a little older. The Siamese "point" pattern is caused by a mutation in the gene for tyrosinase, causing it to break down at higher body temperatures and thus preventing the proper manufacture of the melanin pigment. So, now I'm wondering if she likes to lie on her back in the electric lap because she's trying to lighten her fur....



... Or maybe she just has a cold back, which is why the fur is getting so dark in the first place.

Last night on the Metro 780, I came upon the only empty pair of seats not all the way in the back, and found out why they were empty:

This section will be dedicated to those, well, impossible-to-overlook assholes. Our first asshole du jour: the person who works in my business park who thought it would be cute to put his (playing the odds here, people) cigarette butt out in a flower:



And, while I certainly personally know too many assholes, I'm not going to make these posts about people I know. At least not intentionally. Or until I change my mind.
