@MrLizard Seems to be about the same latitude as the White Mountains in NH, where my photo was taken. But it will be a lower elevation, I'd think.

If you treat a cat right they are great companions, and it's a more honest affection than the dog's, because it's a hard-earned relationship, in contrast to the dog's who is evolved to instinctively care about people regardless if it's earned. I've spent the last 23 years studying cats ( 18 cats ) ...

Once something has been established as an objective fact, it ceases to be an opinion, right?

Coffeo comments on Aug 4, 2018:

The Big Bang is still slightly controversial, because our theories aren't quite up to describing those conditions.

Coffeo replies on Aug 4, 2018:

@TheAstroChuck Maybe controversy is too strong a word. I was using it to indicate a lack of universal agreement, not entrenched warfare. Of course, there isn't universal agreement on evolution, either, but those who disagree on that one are too blind to realize that you can actually watch it happening, though not if your head's buried in sand, or in the pages of that awful book.
