"Messenger hares"?

One of my long-term food-related research interests is a brief history
of molded pots / shaped pans / "grill marks" / loaf marks and the like.
Pretty certain I can raid the list archives for many good starters on
the effort, but I can occasionally be a bit of a completist.

Even when I can also be silly.

Poor tot, messing with her mind that way.  

And poor Johnnae. The snow WILL end (this year); I'm still glad to have
made it back to Texas when I did and be MOSTLY thawed out now (last
contract had me in central Wisconsin until mid-January; while I can
survive and even thrive in sub-zero for a little while, my vehicle is
certainly happy after having been continuously in below freezing
temperatures for more than two months and at least a dozen nights
subzero.  We won't even touch upon my rapturous toes for the moment.)

They and we can but hope -- Gunthar's used to it (or should be) and
should know when to leave the extra-pretty clothing in camp, but HRM
Elizabeth could certainly do without dealing with the mud.  We like
seeing her all dressed up, we do, and wanna share the experience with as
many furriners as possible!
