        <body>Long story short.  The neighbor's pitbull was let out, and it killed two of my cats.  We'll be talking to the policesoon, mostly so that when that animal comes back, they know why I dealt with it harshly.  There is NO doubt in my mind that the irresponsible, abusive people next door will wait about a week before it's out unsupervised again.</body>

        <body>Pete's planning an Olympic quiz today?  I have to admit I haven't been paying enough attention to the Olympics.  I'll just answer &amp;quot;Michael Phelps&amp;quot; to every question.</body>
