The first person to go over and survive was a woman — and she took her cat with her in the barrel. Now, that’s just crazy.

Happy birthday to your baby!

In the midst of this insanity
People are actually learning-
I guess they noticed the fire
When their world began burning

Better late than never I say,
Let’s be convivial and rejoice-
Illegals dumped on the doorsteps
Made so many find their voice

I don’t care how it happened-
I’m just glad more NIMBYs see
Obama’s minions think of them
As no different from you or me...

Thank you!

I really don’t think so-even the most ignorant among us usually has a subtle appreciation of the obvious...

Maybe the cat itself had nine death wishes?

Nice.

Still don’t get the thinking that being trapped inside a barrel with a cat improves things in any way. For you or the cat.

Take the “power Plant tour” (on the Canadian side) and get out to the two very large plants further down the river as well. Several places have guidebooks, history books also of the Niagara electric power revolutions.
