First, it’s March 1, and you know what that means—or at least the comic strip Mutts does:
I am returning to Chicago tomorrow—if the weather holds. A big blizzard (coming out of the US) is predicted to strike Montreal starting tonight.
Also, it’s World Cat Day in Russia (Russian-speaking readers are welcome to translate the tw**t below. I for one would like to know what it says.)

But in Dobrzyn, of course, it’s ALWAYS World Cat Day, with the World Cat being Hili. Today she’s thinking Deep Thoughts, but, as usual, they revolve around noms:
A: Hili, what is creative thinking?
Hili: It’s a broad knowledge and a courage to associate.
A: Give me an example.
Hili: The ability to combine a human with a refrigerator.
Ja: Hili, co to jest twórcze myślenie?
Hili: Rozległa wiedza i odwaga skojarzeń.
Ja: Na przykład.
Hili: Trzeba umieć połączyć człowieka z lodówką.

Finally, here are between 150,000 and 250,000 King Penguins huddled together for warmth on the island of South Georgia. This photo, from the Daily Mail, is by photographer Role Galitz. Note the chicks (brown) gathered in creches. It always astounds me that a parent can find its chick in this mess. I think they do it by vocalization, but I’m not sure.
