One Thing Before I Go

  1. This is a fascinating article that all single, in a relationship, engaged, married, separated, divorced, re-married, and re-divorced people should read. Right now.

Cat Shiz for Today

Dave and I tried to explain to Tuna (someone who didn't grow up with cats) what they do when they see prey they want to munch on. Doodle does it at flies and moths, and Iris, Dave's cat, would do it at birds. They make this high pitched chirpy, chattering noise which is involuntary for them and hilarious for us. Here's an example I found on YouTube, it's slow going, but then it peaks in the right place. You'll see. 




And while we're here, let's check out a video of two cats doing some plain old meowing. It's cute. They totally dig each other.



And finally, someone twist on the same vid, it's clever:



Ok, I hope these blew some of the doom and gloom out of your room. You're welcome.

If You Want to Get Fired Up About Toll Takers and Their Attitudes

Read this article "The Toll Road Not Taken," by Paul Kix.

Whisker River Take Me Down


Doodle, NYC ~ July 12, 2009

PS See where Doodle's mouth slopes down on the right (her left)? That's where her tooth ain't these days.
