Everyone knows cats are cruel, right? When they catch a bird or small animal, they tease it. They try to make it run. If it does, they pounce again. Cats might say they’re giving their prey a sporting chance to escape, but we know the odds are long in the cat’s favor. What evil creatures! They’re not like us at all. When we kill for fun, it’s on a video screen. We can blow other persons and creatures away by the hundreds, and nothing gets hurt. Indeed, the more popular genres of video games are the more violent; while real killing is abhorrent, pixelated killing is great fun! Now, if we could only teach cats to play video games and replace real killing with play killing. Play killing is harmless! Isn’t it? OK, I’ve officially gone over to the old-man side.

Visiting Llee in Carthage. We came by to bring a big loaf of multi grain artisan breads, a fairy rose bush, a gerbera Daisy and a basket of petunias for her pots on her porch.
Llee is so beautiful and sweet. She said to tell everyone hello.
A message for Debbe and the rest of us from Gal (via FB): “A lack of home Internet – AND time and energy – has severely restricted my browsing time. It is easier to Facebook on my phone than using the phone for comments on A&J. Really – am a little surprised that I have been missed! I’ll visit the blog and check in… “
FYI.

This tiny restaurant called Eagle Drive Inn is a legend but the food is millennial. We were the most senior in restaurant. It was full of people who we could be grandparents of.

Where is everyone? We are back in Muskogee for night and to go to Tulsa in morning for my cardiac stress test and other cardiac testing for clearance by hospital for surgery. I did not pass the preliminary tests hospital did so I have to see a board certified cardiologist for additional testing and clearance.
Luckily my endocrinology and thyroid, diabetes and sleep apnea physicians are part of a mega cardiac group so the group will run tests and I acquired a new generalist cardiologist.
I’m back home. I’m also waiting for someone to quit baiting people who voted against his favored candidate. I talk about politics at other websites… not in the Village.
If you’re not extremely concerned then you are not paying attention. We are not attacking the other party. We are trying to help EVERYBODY1
Trucker Ron:
First, welcome back. I always enjoy your posts.
I saw that your base location is Provo.
Have you driven around the fairly new NSA data collection site?
I have been following the construction and implementation of the facility for several years, and I have also noticed that information about it rarely appears now.
I want to have a chance just to see it. The place looks enormous.
Right on!
