On this day in history: October 13, 54 - Roman Emperor Claudius I consumes a favorite mushroom dish prepared by his fourth wife, Agrippina. What he does not know is that the meal is laced with the toxin of the Amanita phalloides mushroom. Feeling ill the next morning, Claudius summons his personal physician. Unfortunately, the doctor happens to be a co-conspirator in the scheme, administering a colocynth enema which kills Claudius instantly.

RAIN! As you may easily see from the CAT Cam image, it is raining here this morning! The weather forecasters call this "light rain." If this truly be light rain, I sincerely hope never to experience heavy rain, since it is really wet out there and becoming wetter with each passing moment! YIKES!
