And I'm betting that none of you even appreciated the gesture

You'd win that bet.

It is said they (cats) do this to share with their family, to do so means they accept you as theirs, and is a gesture of affection.
Corse they also will bump heads or rub against you and turn their butt end to you as friendship.....

You must be more careful or learn to levitate!
alternatively we can get you some headlights for your moccasins
or a belt-mounted airbag....

She'll be going...Neither she or I have gone to any of the 10 20 30 or 40 years reunions.
I recall a invite to my 10th. maybe a blip on the 20th.... 0 interest then .

But this one has my attention , they are holding it here 3 days 2 nights
Harbor Beach Marriott Resort in Ft. Lauderdale.
and the planed talent is Berry Gibb

They are also talking to Miami Sound Machine  alumni (Gloria Estefan)  &  KC of the Sunshine band fame

Disco, huh?

Morning all.

Looks like rain later on.  I might just say heck with the sickness, grab me a rifle and go find me a nice clear cut to sit around.  Deer season ends Sunday in my zone,  and I've only been out four times this year.  I paid almost $40 for my tag.

On the subject of school reunions, I got an invite to my second reunion.     Didn't know that was a thing, but I guess it is.  I'm probably not going to be in the state at the time, so that pretty much settles that.

I also have not gone to any of the 4 previous decade celebrations. 



Just back from our weekly date lunch. Also a little shopping.  Her Hobby Lobby ( i really don't mind going there) and we have been seeing a bill board for a Gun Shop in Gadsden Al. Reads,  guns and ammo make me smile. With a picture of the first Commander in Chief on it.  Big shop, not over pack but enough to keep you looking. Found a speed loader for my SP model. Also 500 Remington 22 LR. For $25.00. Cheapest i have seen in 8 years. 
She got her share of fall fru fru stuff.  Then made a date with me for the range.

Lunch at our favorite Sea Food joint. She had the Maui maui- i had Tuna tacos. They had James River Oysters today but passed on them.

I was stationed in Gadsden 30ish years ago. I heard they closed Ft McClellen, due to it being a toxic dump.

I don't know if that was the reason or not. They graze cattle on parts of it now. The ANG uses part of the Fort yet.

We used to get an occasional surprise gift form our cat when we lived out in the mountains; once he brought in a rabbit - I locked him up and rescued the poor rabbit, another time, I was in the garage and heard Mrs. Hairy screaming, so I hied myself into the house to see what was up; there at the deck door sat Sam, with a three foot long green wiggling mustache.  Mrs. Hairy had managed to get the door closed when she spotted him coming up the stairs from the garden with it.  Sam was born feral, and even though we raised him on a dropper and bottle, and kept him, and another kitten about his same age indoors for a year, he had those wild genes; he owned that seven acres of mountainside - even the foxes and coyotes pretty much left him alone.  But we were his "people, and when either one of us was sick, he would stay on the bed with us or nearby in whatever room we were in, and only go outside to do his business, then be right back in checking on us.

I went to my twentieth class reunion, and only stayed about an hour; knew most of the folks there, but most of them didn't remember me.  I decided it was a bunch of strangers I had been acquainted with at one time.  Never been to another; sixty is coming up in '19.  In all fairness, I was only at that school for a year - went to three different high schools in three different towns, and even though I went back there when I got out of the Navy, and Mrs. Hairy and I did have a small social life there, I was pretty much a solitary person.  Left there in '68, and only went back to see my folks, and to take care of business.

Fall has fell here in the Great Desert Southwest, and it is pretty nice - warm, breezy days, cool nights, and mostly clear and bluebirdy skies.  It will change, suddenly, and I fear it might be a wet winter if El Nino flares up again.

Later.

Greetings My Good El -

The scientifical minds here on the telly in ABQ have consulted their oracles, computational contrivances and tea leaves and have determined we may be seeing a weak La Nina this year instead .....

Disco, huh? 

Disco was the best thing to happen to music. 

It got the hippies, the cowboys and the rednecks to quit hating each other and Outlaw County was the result.

Does any  Outlaw Country bunch do a good cover of proper old timey polkas, schadisches and waltzes?

I do love dressing up in a looong frock coat and swirling with Mrs Marvel to "The Vienna Woods"
