We might as well stick with the cat cartoons for another day or so; this one is from 2004. I saw a short BBC documentary on Netflix the other night, about cats. It was called, “The Lion in Your Living Room.” Some of the things it told me about cats I already knew, and some I did not. At any rate, it was almost an hour-long video of beautiful cats and cute kittens and their weird behavior. The documentary did not say so directly, but it made clear that cats are not big fans of team sports. Speaking of, I have gone this far this year without mentioning college football here. Well, the rivalry season is upon us, and either that means something to you or it does not. As for me, I have my lucky shirt and my lucky cats (two of them!) lined up and ready to go.

Political comment of the day:
When my toddler grandsons throw a tantrum because I’m leaving their house, it’s cute. When college students and other young adults throw a tantrum because their political party’s leaving the White House, it’s pathetic.
Just had family monuments cleaned (why did it take 60years the first time and 15 this time?)
Added sons names and start date – expiration date later, maybe someone will appreciate it some day.

emb – 10/12 They know EXACTLY what they are asking in a poll. The point is to get the results they want.

emb, I don’t do shots, Kamikazes or otherwise. I do like a Jack Daniels and Coke on occasion, but my favorite is a Radler (preferably enjoyed on a nice day in a Bavarian biergarten). That’s half good German beer and half lemonade. Very refreshing!
Hi Ghost Sweetie!!
To all my brother and sister veterans thank you for signing the blank check. While we are at it say a prayer of thanks for what the Merchant Marine did during WWII, a forgotten, hard job.

My civic orchestra makes a point of playing that one each November.
Hi, Jean dear. Thinking of your Daddy and all other military veterans today.
I’d like to think that, like Wayne, they will all come home some day, but I know that will never happen. So try to give them a place in your heart.

Welcome back Ghost. Hope you had fun on your vacation. I know I would have. That is an adorabless flying pig out in my butterfly garden. Someday I expect to see him doing belly rolls and diving in the zinnias with the butterflies.
Now Little Ghost, he is another character, the most outrageous kitty of them all.
Then Little Ghost was obviously aptly yclept.
Isn’t “aptly yclept” redundant?
Yep, add my thanks to those who served either willingly or via the draft. In particular, to those who went to ‘Nam, thanks to LBJ.
Here’s the Marine Hymn in Navajo by a Code Talker in 2014:

Having brunch, good Southern girl food, grits, sugar free pecan pie and a Diet Coke. Wait did I refer to myself as a good girl? Probably am, the rest is an over active imagination and remote memories.
Butterflies everywhere out there. It was the pigs who were dive bombing my office windows when I joined Facebook. I always said when pigs fly.
I am reminded of the years my father was MIA. my earliest years until I was seven when his remains were found and he was officially declared dead. My grandmother never gave up hope, she would try to locate any Jack Hodgson she heard about in a newspaper. My whole life.
My father is still in Italy in the military cemetery there.
That is why I had to vote, for all who died that we and others remain able to do so. That and all the long lines who registered on the day I did, standing behind ropes, protected by Marshall’s and deputies armed with shotguns. I stood behind no ropes nor lines or paid a price to be able to vote.
Thank you all for paying for me. Freedom isn’t free.
