Mornin' Cuzzies, Coolish, wet-ish....little rain from time to time. Messing w/ my spray painting of my wrought iron furniture, etc. on the deck. ) : The Houston Astros' season has gone totally to hell.....they won yet another game! o : Hey, have you seen the demolition of Texas Stadium from the inside in Dallas running around on a net tape? It's awesome! But, sickening, too......to understand that a group of people spent this kind of money on a facility only to tear it down 35 yrs. later. What does that say about our culture?! No wonder we are in the trouble we are in! Makes you understand and appreciate many of the centuries old buildings that still stand around the world today. We are waaaay too much an instant gratification society, acting like po little rich children! It's abt. this gray kitty who lives here. He showed up abt. 8, 10 yrs. ago....."Ah ain't got no home, no vittles to eat." "Okay," we said. "Trot your body in the house and hep yore sef. But, don't argue w/ the rest of the cats. They'll whip you!" And, he remained a cat, not a pet. Did cat things.....doesn't walk anywhere, runs. Ignored us all. That was cool....afterall, we had 7 others. Da Kid even said, Mom, that's the ugliest cat I've ever seen. And, that he was. Mah Momma used to say....a little love does miraculous things for an ugly cat's appearance. And, that it does. *Gray* has 4 little white feet, white vest, little white mustache, and I must say.....he's a right smart looking cat now. And, he's turned into a pet recently. Sleeps on the bed, watches TV w/ us, just jumped in my lap for a few strokes.....never done that before. Gray is turning out to be rotton, just like the rest of the cat crew. And, he's becoming a talker.....has lots to say.....especially in the kitchen. o: I'm outta here---------->the garage calls. What a disaster area! Buckette
