I Love Cats

Another busy day for the cats that cohabitate with me.



From the Register-Mail:




"Judy Clayton and her cat await their turn in the second annual Catminster on Sunday afternoon in Sandburg Mall. Crystal, also nicknamed "Brat Cat," was rescued by Clayton just before Christmas 2009 when the kitten was spotted in the Hy-vee parking lot just off National Blvd. The kitten was distressed and appeared malnourished, something that Clayton has been able to remedy with care and a home."



Personally I love cats. Never met or ran over a cat I didn't like. I think they should all be set free to roam and frolic without having to put up with humans. Perhaps Afghanistan. Or Pluto. Poor Crystal. Judy went to the grocery store to buy eggs and milk and now ends up in captivity. I don't understand why some people hate them:





1. No more expensive trips to the Dr's office.


2. No more vermin that have been decomposing behind the entertainment center for 5 months. Oh, and that cute pretty finch you haven't seen at the bird-feeder in 2 weeks? Look behind your bookcase.


3. No more piles of up-chucked supper right where you are about to step.


4. No more daily wheezing because you are allergic to them.


5. No more stare-downs.


6. No more hopelessly scratched couches and recliners.


7. No more lint rolls.


8. No more free-loaders. At least dogs herd sheep and cows, pull sleds, and help blind people.




9. No more kitty-litter pressed between your toes.


10. No more hairballs.


11. No more random pee spots.


12. No more litter everywhere.


Now, reasons to love them:


1. Soft and cuddly.


(uh, well, I'll think of more...)

Summer Swim

It's Monday and the start of another work week.  Except for me.  I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers.  These pics need no words.  Why muddy the waters?   They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley.  The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter.  If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one.  But, please, no more.   

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless.  Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001.  It was one of those things that can generate crime:  two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job.   Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things.  Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold.   But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find.   His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead.  He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds.  He will be paralyzed for life.   None of this is pleasant.  Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant
