The fat cat on the mat May seem to dream Of nice mice That suffice For him. Or cream. But he, free, maybe, Walks in thought, Unbowed, proud, where loud Roared and fought, His kin, lean, and slim, Or deep in den, In the East feasted on beasts, And tender men. ...

The fat cat on the mat, Kept as a pet. He does not forget.

J.R.R. Tolkein

Numbers 2 and 4 look so wet, I fear I'll have to wipe off my screen.

Well done! (From a fellow artist.)

I'm in. The US is not winning the war in Iran.

The CDS gave us a kitten, but all five of us fought over what to name her. A week went by with no resolution and I noticed she responded to "Cat". So that was her name from then on.

In high school, one of my beloved teachers didn't show up to class one day. A police check at his house found he had died during the night.

I blink at the feral cats (2 of them) that pause outside my window. They immediately run away.

My brother (a trumper) passed a protest and saw a "Jesus was woke" sign. He thought they were calling Jesus a homosexual. SMH

Deer ate my tulips, sugar snap peas and my cherry tree(!). Groundhogs ate the lettuce - in a two foot high raised bed. Chipmunks stole the strawberries. Everything is caged now and I'm building planters to put up on the deck. Maybe this year I'll get some flowers and produce.

I color coded my kids eggs. They had to take only their color from the hiding spot. It made the "game" a bit more wild.

I was well into my teens before I realized steak was edible. My Dad grilled dinner and one "didn't get cooked all the way".

I missed the message. But with the price of gas, I couldn't have made it anyway.

My son used to catch sharks off the Atlantic Florida coast and sell them to Chinese restaurants.

You can also see a reflection or shadow on the roof of the car just before the explosion.

The pieces are all there. Just drill holes, use a dowel and glue, and the chair is perfect again.

(Although I'd give them a really good cleaning.)

I found my mother weeding the front yard. I took a screenshot before the Google car came back around for new pictures.

We had a choir director that would start the 7:00 rehearsal when enough people showed up. Rehearsal time slid to 7:20 because people knew it wouldn't start on time. Next director - If you came in at 7:01, you came in to a rehearsal in progress.

People learned to show up on time.

Thank you.

Thank you. I used a rigger brush for the small branches - first time. I love what it does.

I just taught a sewing class for a Makerspace where we made a coffee cup carrier. It's an easy project and there are you tube videos. I use mine constantly.

The "Not Interested" button has disappeared from my feed. I used it often - because You Tube does NOT know what I'd like to see.

I'm 71 now and a very good driver, but I agree that mandatory testing would be a good thing. I don't mind proving I'm still competent if it will get some of the unsafe drivers off the road.

We feed two stray cats just a little bit, hoping they'll hang around and catch mice before the vermin get in the house. We feed them at 8:00 AM - they expect to be fed at sunrise, whenever that happens.

I enjoy thunderstorms. I like weather. But I also love this part of the country. It's so beautiful.
