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.

Yes, I came back. Who can remain silent at a time like this. Yes we survived tricky Dick, clumsy Ford, Bedtime for Bonzo, King Geprge the first and King George II, although when he was elected (his second term, having been appointed for his first term, I predicted that it would be impossible for the country to recover in eight years if ever. Well, remember that a compromise is a solution that makes no one happy and, as Rush said, the Red’s job was to make President Obama’s administration a failure. They did a great job. George Will’s column today blamed Hillary for everything that happened since 2001 including the destruction of Iraq, the alienation of millions of Muslims and the current Asian civil war where even a program can’t tell you who is fighting who or how many different factions are involved. He was no Trump fan prior to the election but, as today’s column shows, he was able to line up for the spoils within 24 hours. For those who say the Democrats are crybabies, read comments on Yahoo, but bring a bottle of glass cleaner.
Sideburns, the picture was heartbreaking. I know that my little ones are not just cats, but my kids with intelligence, personalities and emotions.
Jackie, I will try to send you my email address tomorrow. We need to talk.
Jerry you can reach me at jackie.monies2324@gmail.com
That was King of Rockabilly.
Glad you are back Jerry. Did I date you when I was young? I worry about that a lot now!
A quick bit of google-fu found this, among other recipes for microwave cornbread: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/213605/5-minute-microwave-cornbread/
So I was wrong once again. I bet you can bake pies, cakes and Cookies too. Not first time I have been wrong!
Do love my vegs steamed in microwave e.
Since the Ghost isn’t here I will contribute a song Dwight played tonight, always a favorite of mine. It is hard to believe he is 60 years old. The hair is gray now but he looks as good as ever and rocks out like he was half that age. One of my favorite guitar men.

And Dwight didn’t play this Clapton song but he can, I could only hope. So here’s another gifted guitar man Vince Gill doing it at the Crossroads. Love Vince too, who can sing and play it all, no matter what it is.

And here is Clapton, Gill, Crowe and friends Livin’ On Tulsa Time. Which is what I do all the time.

Hello, Jerry..been missing you!
I’d forgot about deep frying cornbread….and yes, I do have a bread machine made by Regal. Need to dig it out. Forgot to pick up beans yesterday.
SIDEBURNS, I am so sorry about Gully. Didn’t do much reading here yesterday. It hurts, I know, been there personally more than once. Many hugs my friend.
Need to get ready for knocking some chicken poop off….great anger management 🙂

I’ll settle for a Taddy Porter, Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout, or Summit Pale Ale, not gulped, but savored with supper. Peace,
I would add “Voyageur” Palisade Porter They are out of Grand Marais, MN.
IMHO better than Guinness.

I thought you had a pig in your yard – a flying pig

Finally, I’m above average at something.
sand, you are welcome. Next June will be 40 years since I got out of the Navy. Was one of the early all-volunteer companies at the Orlando NTC.
Actually I have three pigs now, Ghost, JohnW and who did I name that third one after?
I won’t bore you with the details, but I finally managed to escape 1955 and return back to the future.
Did anything interesting happen while I was gone?
Notes from WAY back
Geezer – Geezher
Curmudgeon Can be male or female?
I use “Guys” indiscriminately especially mixed company.
Debbe the worst speeders on the gravel road seem to be the
delivery drivers – most drivers don’t realize they are driving on the same as marbles
when driving on gravel.
emb -I m still with Brooke – He writes”Illustrated Novels” not funny strips
leaning towards Soap Opera
Nothing says esteem like having a pig named for one, does it?
More notes
Jackie – I built a cat house with 4″ insulation all around.
Port hole windows and 6″ round door –
Shelf
18 X 30 inside, counted 12 cats coming out –
was warm at more than 30 below
emb –
Mn’ almost capital is St Peter – a lot of shenanigans were attached to that.

Albany, NY was chosen because it was safe from attack by sea.
Mantra – don’t put ANYTHING down. That doesn’t always work either-
Spent time searching for a paper that ended up in my left hand.
In my defense there were other things there at the time.
Jackie Have to do this in 2 posts

Disappearing words
Barn Burner = something fast or something “hot” meaning “cool”
Popskull may be as high as NY or further.

Also The Cat Came Back
Trucker Ron – Studies prove you are correct about artificial sweeteners interfearing with good bacteria – you are more likely to loose weight using real cane sugar.
GR6 I quit pipe smoking (less than a pack of ciggs in my life) after dropping corncob in chicken manure 2x in one day. Again habit not addiction.

I like Phlash Phelps on 06 60’s SiriusXM Like Phlash Phelps on SiriusXM Channel 6 All 60s music.
He’s been “every where”. Like his “City of The Day”. Place name relevant to news of the day,
people call in to guess.
