August slouches on, with triple-digit heat indices forecast again today. It’s a good time for a sun dress; just don’t wear it outdoors.

My dad’s favorite German word was Konstantinopelischerdudelsackerundpfeifferverein. That would be the Constantinople bagpipe and fife club. I have seen variations on the spelling including one having “itan” following “pel”. No idea whether or not such a group ever existed.
…mastery of the art and spirit of the Germanic language enables a man to travel all day in one sentence without changing cars. Mark Twain
Mr Clemens also said, “Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him till he emerges on the other side of his Atlantic with his verb in his mouth.” — A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
Our new kitchen has a slanted ceiling, with empty space above the cabinets. Leo quickly learned that he could jump up to the counter, then the top of the fridge and end up on the space over the cabinets. Now, the side nearest the front of the house is one of his favorite sleeping spots. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s up high or because we can’t reach him (not that we want to) but it does have the advantage that he’s not underfoot.
Sideburns, sounds like a good cat spot. They love high places. But be careful, one place my ex and I moved to turned out to have some Dcon baits on top of the cabinets. We didn’t see them, but one of the cats did. Had to do a fast trip to an emergency vet who dosed her with ground charcoal in water to clean out the digestive tract. Ever try to clean regurgitated charcoal etc from a light colored carpet?
The cat was ok, in fact it is now the senior pet in her little pride.
We’re buying the place from our cousin. If there were any reason to worry about pest control, he would have warned us. Thanx anyway.
Sure. Not just pest control, though. You never know what someone might have left out of sight and forgotten about.
This should happen to politicians of all parties!

I hope everyone had a good and safe Labor Day. We on the Gulf Coast had our typical Labor Day: track, clean up from, prepare for, or hunker down for a storm. Looks like Gordon will arrive here tomorrow night.
