The one in front looks a little like one of our cats.
She's black with a football-shaped body and spindly legs.
We sometimes call her "The Bug."

Awwww. I love fatcats. It's a great picture.
What a superb day to have the US represented abroad by an intelligent, articulate, committed, handsome and uber-cool man who will soon be our president and this long nightmare, the hell of it and the shame of it, will end. I'm so happy today!
I'm also on a very nice med. :)

I had a sign last night. On me, this time, I think from fighting with family. But I was also given one sign back to use against it and I've added it to my garden. So I'm doing some things in my ritual garden but if things go that way, that's fine. If I don't comment anymore, then I was called back and will be reincarnated. That's wonderful. Just want y'all to know, there is more when we pass on.

My friend Freddie said, "Those things don't come to pass unless you believe it." I was making some tea and boiling water that was "whistling the spirits" and he said shouldn't do that. I know. But he knows voodou, like me. I have until August First.

GG, whatever you do, don't fall into the compost pit. Had a neighbor do that once and we had to hose him off in the backyard..... His wife made him sleep in the spare bedroom for a month. That stuff seeps into your pores....

Lovely. But the cats here are cooling it in total shade. Even my doggies don't want to go out (they think they'll get a treat if they do--it's a ritual). The tropical storm off the NC coast is pushing heat into the entire east coast, evidently. It's hot as hell here, and supposed to be 95 in NYC and Boston. About 92 here in western NC and the air is horrible, the sun, brutal.
The right afternoon to stay inside (95 tomorrow, same thing).

Is that like a Lazy Sunday? Are the cats waiting for some bagels and to catch the latest Narnia movie?

My kids grew up, moved out, got cats, moved again to apartments that don't take pets then dumped the cats on me. Now I'm the doorman/servant to a pack of cats, answering to each and every meow. Is it any wonder I have the only cat avatar which is not saccharine cute!

I think somebody who works there got the cat I was going to get from work. I think I made her more approachable from being around her and she probably walked out and somebody took her home. Still looking for her, though.

I used to joke with a friend who had several cats, that she lived in the middle of "Lion Country Safari" wildlife park.
Looks like you live in "Panther Country Safari"!!

One of my cats is a black Maine Coon by the name of Cosmo. Nasdaq sort of looks like him.

Never thought I would be a cat person but there is something you'll find about them that will touch you and you'll never forget it. Cats have been around humans for at least 10 thousand years and they're perfectly adapted to do that.

Ms. McLeod, who is 47, readily admits her money problems are largely of her own making. But as surely as it takes two to tango, she had partners in her financial demise. In recent years, those partners, including the financial giants Citigroup, Capital One and GE Capital, were collecting interest payments totaling more than 40 percent of her pretax income and thousands more in fees.
Years of spending more than they earn have left a record number of Americans like Ms. McLeod standing at the financial precipice. They have amassed a mountain of debt that grows ever bigger because of high interest rates and fees.
While the circumstances surrounding these downfalls vary, one element is identical: the lucrative lending practices of America's merchants of debt have led millions of Americans -- young and old, native and immigrant, affluent and poor -- to the brink. More and more, Americans can identify with miners of old: in debt to the company store with little chance of paying up.
It is not just individuals but the entire economy that is now suffering. Practices that produced record profits for many banks have shaken the nation's financial system to its foundation. As a growing number of Americans default, banks are recording hundreds of billions in losses, devastating their shareholders.

For Capital One, which charges her 28 percent interest on her credit card, net interest income, after provisions for loan losses, has risen a compounded 25 percent a year since 2002.

OT:
Gotta love those Ron Paul Supporters:
GOP Asks Net For Advice, Paulites Answer the Call ... and Answer, and Answer
When the Republican Party issued a clarion call last week for its grassroots supporters to submit ideas online to build the party's platform, Republican National Committee officials probably weren't expecting a concerted push for the dismantling of the Federal Reserve and a return to the gold standard.
But Ron Paul supporters have made themselves at home on the the GOP platform site, sounding many of the themes that turned the Texas congressman's doomed run for the Republican presidential nod into an internet cause célèbre.
"Get rid of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve, and go back to a sound gold and silver based currency," wrote Cathy, a contributor from Stevensville, Montana, in a post to the "Jobs and Economic Growth" section of the site.
It's just one of pages and pages of comments submitted by users complaining about the Federal Reserve. Abolishing the bank is one of Paul's core policy issues.
My neighbor throws out cats on me, and because, they have not been cherished, it's hard to totally tame em and give them away. some find their own homes! i feed em. Bon Jovi is a grey persian who came back! he's a little run away! lol! thanks for the blog!
