Pippin News Flash

That damn cat is back. I knew things were too good to be true.

Anyway, Pippin showed up on Renee's doorstep around 8pm, thinner than usual and ravenous. Her kids think that someone saw the posters we had put up and dropped Pippin off at the house. I don't think that's the case though. His being hungry and not fed doesn't fit into that scenario.

My belief, you ask? Well... let's just say that apparently the aliens are once again sampling lifeforms from Earth. I am just glad that apparently they're putting us back once they're done with whatever tests they do.

Aliens or not, it's weird that he was gone for 6 days then returns in fine shape except for being thin and hungry. Welcome back, Bad Penny. Some of us missed you.

I lost my cat tonight, too. But it was only for like 2 hours, and he was under a chair. Still is. And Michele sent me.

Too bad cats can't talk. You'll never know what happened. Maybe went to sow some oat down an alley?

No chance of that, Colleen. His sowing capability ended up on a vetrinarian's floor long ago. Poor Pip.

Glad he's returned, however thin and hungry...sorry he's into disappearing acts. This is why I have dogs, and microchipped dogs at that.

Well, and also cuz cats make me sneeze.

Yes, I'm random in the morning.

I'm glad that the cat found its way home. Even though you aren't completely thrilled about Pippin coming back at least your girlfriend is not going to be worried and scared that something happened to her pet. I'm usually a wreck when one of my pets goes missing.

Cats - yuck. They hate me (well, they tend to put me in the hospital because I'm soooo allergic) and I hate them right back.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
