"The quality of a map cannot be judged simply by its scientific precision but by its ability to serve its purpose and in that context aesthetic and design considerations are every bit as important as the mathematical, and often more so." -- Peter Barber, The Map Book
Living a rather quiet and somewhat contemplative life up in the northernmost tip of NYC with my sweetheart and pets and a lot of books.
This is my personal pie vent blog—it's where I muse and let off steam. The one I spend all my time on, that precedes me out in the world, is Like Fire. But I love all my children equally.

Great photo, the way they're all sort of eyeing each other to make sure nobody moves, while pretending to nap.
Wonderful.
Did I ever make you visit Goya's Don Manuel Osorio at the Met? The little boy in the fabulous red suit, all unaware of the savage tensions among the animals at his feet?
They're like endless Saturday morning cartoons, miss t.
And nbm, you haven't steered me to it but I've loved that painting a long time, since I was a kid. Probably one of the subliminal reasons I collect pets.
They're all sprawled out like it was hot when you took that picture. Cute.
It was hot. Even on a good day and with the oven off, that kitchen's the hottest room in the house.
Now I'm looking forward to winter shots of them all snuggling. Or romping in the snow.
Detente! They'll all be best buddies yet. I agree with Kaethe; they'll be snuggling as soon as it gets cold.
Cute picture! Mr. Bonkers’ thinking, “Wait a minute, that dog has a BED”, and Alvy is in the midst of those leg exercises I hate. You know, the ones that work that inner thigh.
And I’m not even going to try to figure out what Dorrie is thinking but based on my past experience with dogs I’m going to bet it has something to do with food.
And not that I am encouraging you or anything, but you know, there is quite a bit more room on that floor for more critters....
You know you're not the only one who thinks that, lynn...
And yes, I do think there will be snuggling. Alvy's already come and hung out on the bed with everyone a few times. Truth to tell, he seems to like the other critters more than he likes us these days.
