I think it's 2029 or 2036. An asteroid is coming close soon. If it hits the right spot it will come back around and give us a cosmic wake up call. Or a slap in the face. Dates might be a little off, but that's what I'm understanding.

Two different souls, two distinct tastes in respite spots:
Meet Castor (on top of cabinet) and Pollux (in the dead plant planter)

Both are Tuxedo's. Pollux (second pic) has about 2 dozen white hairs on her chest while her brother Castor has only six white hairs on his chest. Brother and sister will be four years old May 9th.

Um... It's a Shackle, not a D Ring... D Rings don't have a removable pin. The hole in the end of the pin is for safety wire or cordage to tie it to the shackle after insertion for safety to prevent the pin from backing out and extracting itself. Cordage is typically used in a saltwater/ocean environment to avoid safety wire corrosion and failure. Plus, cordage is easier to remove than twisted safety wire.

Just out of curiosity, I googled the word "Shackle" and found that the device's complete name is "D-Ring Shackle" (it also goes by the name "Bow Shackle"). So Tony deserves a break on this one, I think.
