I saw a tumbleweed get hit by a truck on the freeway!

Chain link fences are not a barrier to tumbleweeds.

They are only a barrier to the first tumbleweeds to arrive there.

It's very like some depictions of a zombie attack, and for a very good reason; tumbleweeds are no longer alive.

Think about it; desiccated and uprooted, they are no longer alive, except that in among the tangled branches, there may be seeds, which are the purpose of its journeying.

(Time to cue up the Sons of the Pioneers.)

Very interesting commentary. Why is everything automatically compared to models which are predictable?
Where do we attribute something to a random occurence? Life, it seems to me is preety much affected by random actions. In this instance models become null and void.

Models, my dears, become null and void. Reflect upon that imagery.

Also, why do people let their cats sit on the table? Entropy. Entropy is everywhere.

Thanks! It was the only one I had left of the glam shots, and it’s not my favorite, but I don’t even know the name of the place or if it’s still in business. It was one of the first places (locally) to use a digital camera so we could choose the proofs on the spot.

If I knew who it was, I would check with them to see if they still had the digital file.

Is that a beret? That floofy squee is having fun in it, for sure!

I’m pretty sure it’s a felt cat-hutch.

I like the face on that little squee, but on the table??? The cat is on the TABLE?

Argh! It’s bad enough having cat hair on my clothes, but I draw the line about having it on my dishes and in my food! (Why do people DO that? she asks herself.)

They’re so used to being ignored by their children that they’ve given up on the catz, too.

“Drifting with the Tumbleweeds”

Sounds like a Blue Grass Group. :)

That’s what the Internet was designed for, pictures of kittens.
Morning All.

Today I’m at Kenilworth.
You know the usual historical type stuff. :)

Hope it's not one of those drones that brings a litter of kittens.

They wish. But they did once sing with Roy Rogers. Crooners all, but very mellow.

That must be it. On a chair AT the table, but not on it.

* - - - - -

My attention span is about a half inch long this morning. I stopped this at the end of the first sentence, went up to unlock to door, only to find Jim in there, and then grabbed my list and headed to Walmart. *sigh*

My bad.
