Another busy day

We had a good day yesterday.  The Ragin' Mrs. and I went to a ferret rescue place near Madison (The Ferret Nook) and picked out a pair that we'll be taking home with us next Saturday.  So you'll have ferret pictures in a week or so.  The lady who runs the place is a person after my own heart, with all the animals she's got there.  There was an old greyhound that just loved to be pet, and cats that would have lived on my shoulders if they had the chance.

I know, I know, big tough Ragin' Dave likes da widdle animals.  So sue me.  Some days I'd prefer the company of a dog to the company of anyone else.  "If you take in a dog, feed him, and treat him well he will not bite you.  That is the principal difference between a dog and a man" - Mark Twain.  Given that our life makes it difficult to have a dog right now, we're getting ferrets.  We've had ferrets before, and I actually love the little buggers.  If you ever want to see just a pure expression of joy, watch ferrets as they're dancing around and playing.  Kind of like a dog rolling in the grass on a summer day.  Just simple joy.

Dinner at a Mongolian BBQ joint that we had friends recommend to us - Hu Hot.  Good food, and the staff there rocks.  For those who don't know, the Ragin' Mrs. has some pretty severe food allergies that make it difficult for us to go out to eat at most places.  This place, when we say "Hey, she's got some food allergies, could you please make sure her food doesn't touch anyone else's?", they actually scrape the grill clean (as in down to the bare metal clean), pull out new spatulas, and cook her food as separately as they can.

Out-friggin'-standing!  Needless to say, we'll be going back.  Multiple times.

As for today, we're going over to a friend's place to watch some football in the company of good people.  So with that, I leave you with a winter photo:
