"Oh lord, not another Vista article!"

"Oh lord, not another Vista article!" Like me, I'm sure many of you might be thinking something along those lines whenever you see an article with the word 'Vista' in the title these days. We've had what can only be described as a plethora of articles on Windows Vista, almost all of them repetitive, one-sided and of little practical use. Some of them have bordered on the absurd, such as Infoworld declaring Windows Vista to be the second biggest tech blunder in history, giving as its reason a one paragraph description that serves more to highlight the author's ignorance than provide any actual logic for their decision. We've been suffering under the weight of these nonsensical, sensationalist and opinion-laded pro- and anti-Vista articles for far too long."
This is a very interesting article, and one which does offer some quick fixes to Vista annoyances.

Introducing... Traffic


Here is a picture of traffic. He is a little unkept, as he is still recovering. The splint, really, doesn't allow him much mobility. He is able to play a bit with the ball, in the crate. He will be confined for 2-3 weeks, maybe more depening upon the vetrinarian's recommendation on his leg mending.

Kitten Update

Well, the kitten has a couple of names at the moment,

Mike
Traffic

Will most likely end up being Mike "Traffic", the traffic, just fits since he was plucked out of the middle of it, and in Atlanta no less, which has such god awful traffic... anyhow, I digress.

Here are the scans of the x-rays.

Here is the first shot of the break


Here is the second shot of the break
Here is the view of the set.
Thus far, Traffic, is doing fine. He is eating, sleeping, and alert. Though one of his medications is morphine, which dopes him up some. When he is not under its affects he is a little kitten, who is alert and ready to play, just impeded by the split. Now, he just needs to bottle up that energy for 6-8 weeks from now when he will be recovered.
