All rivalries forgotten when they want to keep warm. <br />My family have had cats before which used each other as hot water bottles but not my present three.

The lengthy public hearings to decide to tear it down, over the objections of the loud but tiny local historic preservation group and the homeless advocacy group (who insist the abandoned kiosk is used as shelter, read toilet, by the homeless), the preparation and release of a request for proposals, including an evaluation of bids by a panel of local planning and engineering staff, the selection of a bidder, subsequently challenged by a losing bidder, more public hearings, awarding of the contract to the contractor with dubious ties to one of the city council members, interruptions due to the selected contractor accidentally knocking over a fire hydrant or utility pole, the work stoppage because the contractor files for bankruptcy in the middle of the job, a labor dispute just for fun, then, finally, the city comes in cleans up the mess, as usual, being sternly criticized in the local press for wasting taxpayers' money on a job that could have been completed in 24 hours if they had only used city workers (those overpaid, lazy, union people) from the start.<br /><br />Been there. Done that.

It howled and howled around the apartment, to the dismay of the cats. Worse, one of the neighbors has some sort of wind pipe thing (not chimes, but a sort of pan pipe) that sounded the same three notes over and over all day very loudly.
