Much safer than being hit with a tornado. Grand Union Station Not Grand Onion Station She failed her addition. I hope she won't also fail the audition.

Most thought it was a cat, which is what I would have guessed. This is a photo out in the snow at another time.  Here his eyes are somehow two colors! Week's Image  June 25th 2017

Cat or Dog? I took this photo late at twilight and edited it.
