Sea Kittens. Now that is too funny. Let me think about this. We already have Catfish and now Sea Kittens. I may need to rename my old bass boat the Kitty Kat Barge. LOL

Say hello to delecata, a high grade specially filleted piece of North American farmed catfish. This new name was created with hopes of boosting the profile and profits of a struggling industry. In The New York Times Magazine, Paul Greenberg tells the story of U.S. southern fish farmers competing in a global marketplace and a catfish by any other name.

You can put lipstick on a catfish but it's still a catfish. A new name, though? That's another matter...
Okay - now it is only appropriate that Barking come back w/ a photo of his fur coat.
BARKING - where the heck are you? We wanna see a picture, man!
I was at a party last night & I've got my not so fresh face on. I will take some pictures with & without the hats. I'm tryiny to psych myself up to go up to Southpark to get some tea.

I am impressed, Barking. DH and I are trying to get ourselves psyched up to do some work around here . . . and we just can't seem to get moving. Somehow, dreary days seem to sap our energy! Maybe we need to just build a fire and watch old movies, LOL.
Well, if you get that tea . . . and are then inclined to take some pix . . . we would all enjoy them. I think it is really neat that you have furs and enjoy them. There were guys in KCMO who wore vintage type furs and I always thought that was quite smart looking in the snow. Kinda like Russia, where the Ushanka (tundra and trooper hats) and fur coats are not so much status symbols as simply a way to keep warm!!!!
Understandable Ani. Its raining now too so the dreariness will be complete. My raccoon coat was a present from my wife & I had the trooper hat made to match. I got a fantastic deal on the mink & had a trooper cap made to match. But you'll see...
