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.

“Put some clothes on!”
Someone had to say it to complete the tribute.
Last night my sister and I ventured down to Roswell to watch the ballet version of Beauty and the Beast staged by the company attached to the school my daughter used to attend. She started with them when she was three, and now she stage manages their shows, both school recitals and company programs. We had one or two quibbles with the story line they used, but the costumes and sets were good, and the dancing beautiful. We had dinner much later (after set strike) so it wasn’t as grand as Jackie’s but Waffle House is always good. 🙂 All in all a good evening.
Debbe. Have you been keeping up with Breaking Cat News? It will be published in 100 hundred papers around the country starting tomorrow. Georgia ran two new strips on GoComics to introduce the strip to the newspapers.
….rain has stopped.
Wendy’s called Ian and rescheduled his ‘orientation’…I looked at him and said “and they’re going to try and give you forty hours….$%## they can’t even get you in for orientation”!
Fixed lunch, and I had tenderized pork tenderloins…fried, fresh steamed baby snap peas, parmesean noodles, cottage cheese and peaches….had to put the tenderloins in a slow cooker to ‘tenderly’ cook them and not so tough, they are done now…added some low sodium mushroom soup to them.
Jackie, I love eggs benedict.
Read the Dark Side’s comment section, and their pervert was there as usual. He doesn’t have the class our Village slut puppy has though 🙂
Sandcastler, it doesn’t take a whole lot to make me look like an idi0t…and I’ve been meaning to ask…how come “formerly known as…”
Down to the final four, and no team from Indiana made it there…
And a good morning back to you, Laura…so far it has been.
Mark, good luck in your new ‘digs’.
Old Bear, a good night to you.
this is good, definitely…

Jean, I love IHOP and Waffle House…have some frozen pancakes, might just have to nuke them for a bedtime snack…
You know who we’ve not seen here in a while….Gal. Hope all is going well with her. Indy Mindy has checked in with good news
Gal has been busy on FB – maybe she’ll come here next.
Decorah eagle nest: near the right edge of the current picture, about half-way up, is a circular thing with the appearance of a shiny penny! Do eagles collect shiny stuff? Maybe it was a rental payment by an occupant of a lower apartment!
Debbe, Daddy was a gater, but we’re Siminoles here, usually.
In reference to the recent blog, I see that today’s (March 27) strip is a perfect example of life getting in the way.
JJ you are hitting close to home with this aren’t you? I mean me, not you of course.
Here I am with a boat sitting in dream area for half of America’s sailing dreamers and two in the warehouse and where am I?
In Joplin, MO going to visit Llee and happier than I have ever been in my life. Life happens and so does happiness. Boats are not always the answer.
Good morning Villagers….
Jackie, so excited for you…and it’s way past due for you. Tell Llee ‘hey’ from us here in the Village.
Restless night here last night, Dad told me not to be hard on him today. So much for the melatonin. He wanted me to give him another “sleeping pill’, told him no that if one takes too may it will have the opposite effect.
What, no U-tube links, I’ll take care of that.
Washing sheets, and swiffing the cat hair around on the floors.
Ruth, if you can, tell Gal inquiring minds here want here are just wondering how she’s doing. I did have a Facebook account, but I closed it.
Oh, Jackie, need to know how to ‘trap’ a cat. Have two of them outside, which Dad wants fed, that are pregnant…they need to be fixed. They are feral.
Jerry 🙂
later….
forgot what I copied….

Jackie….for you…..played this at husband’s and my wedding…really felt that way back then too
love Timothy’s voice…
Mark, Mindy, and Jackie: I’ve been incommunicado for a few days, but such exciting things are happening for you guys! (Here in Michigan, we say “you guys” regardless of gender.) It’s wonderful!
c x-p:
Decorah or Decorah North? Cam is too zoomed in at D.N. to see edge of nest. At D., I see one circular but not shiny bit that might be just x-section of a broken branch. Have never heard of eagles playing crow, jackdaw, thieving magpie, or packrat.
Saw Gondoliers / GSVLOC / Conn Aud. / Mpls yesterday. Well done. Heading back n. soon, once the dishwasher is done in #2 son’s detached living unit. Life is good.
Peace,
Debbe, local farming store will have an animal trap, about $20 and won’t hurt the cat. Put in an open can of cat food. I was trying to trap an armadillo and caught one possum and a cat. Do I have this correct? Repeal and replace was rejected by a coalition of those who didn’t want to repeal and replace and thought the bill would do that and those who did want to repeal and replace and thought that the bill wouldn’t. Once again-a compromise is a solution that makes no one happy.
Or just put out open cans of food. They’ll find it.
eMb: I thought of that, too, but the image seemed to be from a smooth surface, and not one which was the result of breakage. Possibly, some person lopped off a small branch smoothly – as with hedge clippers or even an axe – and then the bird happened to choose that piece for architectural purposes.
PS: Decorah, not Decorah North. At the moment, the round bit is at beak level.
Mr. Sessions, -you have no authority to issue a new law against local policies regarding immigrants, but let’s call it a regulation. What two regulations did you “get rid of?” And Spicer is now arguing against federal regulations because the “individual states know best what is appropriate for their population”. School children cannot pass to the next grade without passing a test, yet there is apparently no intelligence at all required to work in DC now.
