Iris, an Amur tiger, with her cub. From wordlesstech.
I saw this photo and got to wondering how many different kinds of tigers are there . . .
and some of their coloration is also interesting . . .
The stripeless white looks a lot like my Hobbes.

While these big kitties are acting like my Sam and Hobbes, I say don’t try this at home.

Today is Catch Your 12 Leaves Day
The tradition (my tradition, anyway) is to try to catch 12 leaves before they reach the ground. This will give you good luck in the coming 12 months.
But it is not as easy as it sounds.
It helps to find a big tree with a lot of big leaves that are just ready to let go. It also helps if it is a windy day. It helps most of all if you are really agile!
Here’s a map of peak leaf peeper times.

A very stylish Mr. Hobbes, back lit in the kitchen window.
Happy Weekend.
What am I celebrating today?
August 16, 2014
Today is National Honeybee Day. If you have trouble telling your bees apart, click here for some help with identification.
Wiki: Honey bees are bees of the genus Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax. Honey bees are the only extant members of the tribe Apini, all in the genus Apis.
This is a day to celebrate bees and to raise awareness about their importance to agriculture.
“Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don’t they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.”
― Ray Bradbury“If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.”
― Maurice Maeterlinck

I recommend enjoying the day with a Honey Bee Cocktail
- 6 Parts Dark Rum of Jamaican Type
- 2 Parts Lime Juice
- 1 Part Runny Honey
Fill a shaker with ice cubes. Add all ingredients. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
