The news is:

My washer is broken(I think my wife is calling the repair guy, normally Id look at but its newer and nicer than previous washers weve had-read here front loading-and I dont wanna get knee deep in something Ive never seen before)

The crab has molted...So thats pretty sweet! From what I read it means hes healthy.

I let some stray cat onto my porch. Meh...Its starving and prolly about 10 months old. What else can I do. It might be Jesus in disguise. Tricky Tricky Jesus. I named it Morris, Melissa has been calling it Kiki. I like Morris better.
