When you smell our candles burning, what does it make you think of, my child?" winterfell, she might have said. i smell snow and smoke and pine needles. i smell the stables. i smell hodor laughing, and jon and robb battling in the yard, and sansa singing about some stupid lady fair. i smell the crypts where the stone kings sit. i smell hot bread baking. i smell the godswood. i smell my wolf. i smell her fur, almost as if she were still beside me. "i don't smell anything," she said.

It is easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern america's favorite pet. people like pets to possess the same qualities they do. cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. cats cannot be made to do anything useful. cats are mean for the fun of it. in fact, cats possess so many of the same qualities as people that it is often hard to tell the people and the cats apart.

Most of the time, when i had hits as a soloist - maybe not so much with simon & garfunkel - i was surprised they were hits. i didn't know what the hits were. i never thought that 'loves me like a rock' was going to be a hit, or 'mother and child reunion,' or '50 ways to leave your lover.' they didn't sound like what the hits sounded like at the time. radio was more open to things that weren't exactly what every other hit was.

Basically when it comes to autistic kids and animals there's kind of three ways that they work, some of them are instant best buddies, they understand a cat, they understand a dog - they're best studies with it, they just know how to communicate with it. then there's other kids that begin with a little bit of fear of the cat or the dog, but then they begin to like it and then there are other kids where you have a sensory problem - the cat meows and it hurts their ears, so they want to stay away from the cat because you never know when he might meow.
