That’s Zonja in the mornings...
Before yoga and coffee? Communication is impossible, do not attempt.
I understand it, of course. Except for the “morning” part.
On the Internet, nobody can tell you’re a cat.
Jake has failed at bird hunting this morning and gone to sleep in a corner behind a chair.
A cat would be cool, but I think of myself as sort of a were-badger.
Good typing for a badger.
Hissssssss!

Belle apparently had a successful hunt last night. Two fresh mouse-looking gut piles outside the door leading out to the deck.
Almost stepped on a fresh back-half of a mouse taking the garbage out this AM.
How she hasn’t managed to bring down the bunny who built a hutch under my back shed is probably an oversight on her part.
Or, Monty Python bunny rules supreme... One of the two.
Coffee. Do stupid things faster and with more energy!
Got a big laugh out of that one!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, AMERICA!
Happy 4th of July, FReepers!
popped some fireworks last night, just a few.
There may have been fireworks in Vegas, but no one close to this area was setting them off. Quiet! Nice!
But it was pretty moist here this morning...enough moisture in the air to actually SEE it, all over the valley. Most of town was almost obscured.
Interesting, for the desert. But at least we didn’t have a sand storm like AZ had.
Foggy Desert
good name for a rock band?
Or a drink...
Happy Fourth to all of y’all!
Your mission should you choose to accept it is to determine one or both of the following:
If a rock band, what genre of music would they perform?
If a drink, what is the recipe?
The drink would have to have a dollop of dry ice...
Howya, Undead peoples! When the little boys showed up for breakfast, I asked them if they wanted to go to the town parade, and some said yes. So I looked up the schedule on the town website (isn’t that convenient?) and found that festivities started at 9:30 with flag-raising.
Thinking of parking, we decided to get there at the beginning, and were, indeed, able to park right by the sheriff substation, about 50 yards from the center of events. The VFW and American Legion raised the flag. A white-haired gent in a Coast Guard cap sang the National Anthem. The mayor gave a brief speech about how fortunate we all are to live here, and how much we owe to our veterans, living and dead. Then he read a proclamation honoring World War II veterans and presented copies to the two vets who were present.
The pastor of First Baptist Church was proclaimed Parade Grand Marshal. He gave a fine prayer, not too long. At 10:00, there was a watermelon-eating contest. Frank and Vlad participated and got covered in watermelon. They each got to keep their slice of watermelon. Don’t know who won, but it wasn’t us.
Bill put up his phone finally and wandered around looking stylish. Kathleen jumped in the inflatable jump-thing. We bought some snacks from the Boy Scouts. The parade started at 11:30 ... police, fire department, local businesses, churches, a few Republican politicians, etc. A riding school brought out about a dozen horses, very amusing for children. Candy was tossed. Kathleen got the bounce-house mostly to herself during the parade. Bill watched her.
Then we came home and had lunch, put some kids to bed, and then DP and I went to the gym. I was really too tired for the gym, but I won’t want to go tomorrow afternoon after working at the Missionaries of the Poor, either.
