Wow…. the Monkey and some of the guys are still out there, rounding up kitties.
That’s some picture Beviek!Lethal looking fellow…but along with the Sheriff’s department, I believe in rehabilitation.
We’ve worked far too long and hard on establishing equal rights for all species in Ballard County….
giving animals the vote, electing a dog to the County Supervisors and their appointing another the Chief of Police…. and of course, electing our good friend the Monkey our Sheriff.
We can’t suddenly have vigilantes gunning for every cat they see, which would be the aftermath of unrestrained license to use firepower.
Wow! Not only did I miss a wildly exciting time here on Ballard St. last night, but I really can’t believe that I missed Essex60TWICE in one day!!! What lousy luck! That’ll teach me that from now on, I need to read ALL the comments thoroughly every day.

Sorry about the porch there. The party got a little out of hand. I told him he couldn’t fly! Anyway, who is gonna help me blow out this here big candle? The really big light man is here to fix the light house!

My wife does the same thing. “Honey come look at this!”I come around the corner she is holding the handle to a drawer with all the silverwear on the floor.No expression of surprize, confusion.Just a flat professional look. No other expression.But see a spider or bee.Climbs the wall, over the dresser, seizing the AK74, presenting a fierce target screaming “KILL IT KILL IT.”I from a safe hard place scream back “YOU KILL IT! YOU GOT THE GUN! AND I AIN’T COMING OUT!”
Gosh…. sorry if the ribs got a little crispy…. I had to keep ’em on the grill till nobody was looking…. and hide them where I thought only you would look.
I thought you might prefer the smoked ones as is, so I’d saved you a whole plateful, properly refrigerated…But when you have a bar full of dogs somebody (somedog?) is going to sneak into the fridge.Good thing I looked!
Meanwhile…. OK… some cats ARE good, Monkey….But that place is… is…OMGosh… in some ways you are so innocent about human intentions.
My friend, you KNOW I have never questioned your other foot rubs…but
well, I mean… please don’t put your feet into Miss Kitty’s … footbath…especially without latex gloves.

I’ve got a few ribs for you over here…. not many but they’re REALLY big…. yaks aren’t exactly chihuahuas… (same “crispy” batch, though …. hope that’s OK…. but it was hard to get many past the dogs….they even ate all the BONES!)
Sweet potatoes, cole slaw - do you eat that? -banana pudding and banana daiquiris…How’s that?
No 6 and Linguist….I can guarantee that a capital L makes no difference.
More likely culprits are a space in it someplace, or a comma for the period in .com, or a period, or any punctuation, after the “com.”
If 6 copied and pasted your address from your earlier, now removed post, it had a space in it and a period at the end…not correcting both would make it invalid.
I was going to mention it but you’d deleted it, and posted it in usable form today.Perhaps I should have.
HEY…. that looks like my daughter’s porch in Florida!
Yay! A happy ending to the tail of Perro! @ cleoandcompany.net
Good morning Cleo and Perro phans!
Floridian update: Grand daughter with the little ones is staying at an old friend’s home in St Pete that didn’t really get hit by Ian.
Ex and daughter and grand stayed in the house (broken french doors and front porch. House is intact and tight. Generator for power and they’re cooking 2 neighbor freezers full of food and distributing it to the neighbors. Grill stayed put through the storm.
daughter has generator power and a grill. All ok.
Florida power and light are predicting all power (95%) in Charlotte county will be restored by Sunday.

#6… Capitalisation means nothing in email….
or in URLs or even user names.
Pretty much the only place upper and lower case matter is in passwords.
In fact, gmail is even more forgiving — they don’t even “care” about having a dot in your address or not, or whether you type gmail or googlemail.
ie no6@gmail, if you used that, would be the same as No.6@GoogleMail.

Great, Monkey… see you soon…
I’ve got a few ribs for you over here…. not many but they’re REALLY big…. yaks aren’t exactly chihuahuas… (same “crispy” batch, though …. hope that’s OK…. but it was hard to get many past the dogs….they even ate all the BONES!)
Sweet potatoes, cole slaw - do you eat that? -banana pudding and banana daiquiris…How’s that?
And of course, a good foot rub.No cats involved.
