    In memoriam...

    My pet rat passed yesterday. I know, why would you even want a pet rat? Well, they are fairly intelligent and docile. They are also easy to maintain. Anyway, here is to you Fiskadoro.

    I included three blocks of rat food to represent the three years he was with me. Yeah, they do not live that long. Four is usually the max life span of a domesticated breed.

    Cheers, I'm sucker for a piece of wood too ... erhh, I mean I really like wooden things, lol. Seriously though, Rod picked a really nice piece for this brush handle and the veins and patterns are like a haze, very cool I think.

    Sorry to hear about your rat. Will you be getting another one?

    And here I was concerned. I thought you were talking about one of my peers... I guess the attorneys are still safe!

    Yup, might wait a bit though. They really are good pets. I would say the only down side is they piss everywhere.
