Haven't submitted before, but think it looks fun? Send your submissions for next week's Carnival to cats-at-isfullofcrap-dot-com (hosted by I be JO). Want to host?

Well, it's the end of the route folks. Hope you enjoyed the trip. Be sure to take a moment and read some of the regular posts by folks who submitted here. They're some pretty cool cats, one and all. Who knows? You just might find a couple of new people to add to your favorites. It's happened more than once to me.

Here's a toot of the horn and a tip of the cap to one and all!
