A Winter's Tail
BK, as you may have noticed, is one for puns. Also for peanut butter, but let's not get into sticky molars.
Let's instead talk about small miracles, like (unavoidably) the way nuts can be ground to a spreadable substance,
or (indeed) the productive effects of a whiff of rubber cement,
or (and especially, 1):
maps and our ability/inclination to see our world in two dimensions.
(especially, 2): 8-legged creatures that hold an endless spool of silk in their bellies.
Now, on winter:
BK, as a youth, often confused icicles with what you see here. It did not matter to BK that only one kind melted.

Meta-Kat and Calico Cowboys

Much like the recent NASA projectile that tested the moon for water, BK arrived upriver in an old French jam jar -- only this time, the splash was visible.

Baklava Kat Dines on Umlauts
It wasn't yet höst when BK pawed around the globe (Öst and nord) for a brief research period in Sverige (that's Sweden to you non-Nordic felines!). As part of a study in i-mutation and the relationship between vocalics and the contents listed on nutritional information grids, BK experienced, from måndag to söndag, various delectabilities, often involving choklad or waffeln.
Figure 1:
BK's research assistant, when not automatically cleaning apartment floors, proved a sturdy resting spot for the jet-lagged tail.
Figure 2:
Of course, a Kat has always a melting heart at the sight of mjölk, especially when served in triangular pyramids (see above).

Paw Prints for Posterity

Hiatus: a missing part; see Vienna
Could it be significant that initial attempts to post the most recent B.K. self-portrait produced this instead:
N tusl-o m Trst
fuapw,
\-
F
which somehow translates to long-distance Kat talk.
Missing also, a question mark. But how to punctuate properly? Cats have only so many digits per paw. B.K. is no exception, already with a name full of periods.
Further attempts will be made to post the afore-mentioned image in its less letter-heavy form.
