Yes, sometimes I think that I hear in the distance Heather's various cats and dogs making a loud ruckus: Arf! arf! arf! They never really talk to me. They are performing in a show for the benefit of someone else, obviously not me, and they really do love having this opportunity to vent their utter contempt of me. Oh, they work for the U.S. government? What a lovely thought, my own country despises me that much.
