As the evening is drawing on a glass of a good single malt whisky might be better than coffee if that is possible. It might also help take my mind off the depressing fact that our British Trump clone Boris Johnson will be taking office as Prime Minister tomorrow, a man totally unfitted for office who was elected by under 100,000 members of the Conservative Party - a very British coup d’état and a mockery of all the ideals of Parliamentary democracy.
So sorry to all you poor souls that have Trump's clone as your new PM. Even though we'd like someone else to feel our pain...it's too cruel.
I perhaps should tell you the strange story of the 6 disappearing kittens. All of a sudden two days ago there were 6 healthy, feisty, adorable kittens frolicking in the yard. Couldn't be feral but not ready for them to fall in love with me I didn't go outside in case they fell in love with me. Let several of my friends know and they wanted to know if I could pet them and pick them up - just to be sure. So I went out the next morning and they were gone. Gone. No idea what happened to them. I would guess they were about 10 -11 weeks old. All slight variations of each other. Grey striped with white feet, tip of tail, nose, etc.
Maybe I should write a Halloween story about them....
Hope all are well.

I am so glad they are promising better temperatures tomorrow . Maybe your weather will move east Larry and give us a break. Last night's thunderstorm was wicked. Thunder clapping right on top of the house. And some people had trees come down and hit their houses or take power lines with them. Nothing compared to the flooding other parts of the country have been experiencing. Showed 3 large oak trees that looked like they had been twisted so hard they broke. Now that is a mini something or other. Not normal wind.

Good morning Larry. I have done a load of laundry and watched Sunday Morning on CBS, Listening to wonderful happy music now. A friend posted on FB a big mama black bear and her 3 cubs following along walking through a field near her house. This is over the mountain from me in a place called Fort Valley - rather restricted access location. All the people living there have been calling each other because evidently the mama bear is a rather permissive mom, she lets those cubs go anywhere and do whatever they want. Just need to check outside before you go outside evidently. It is amazing to have wildlife like that close by. We just have the white-tailed deer that think we planted our property for their culinary delight. You can get six feet away from them yelling at them to go away and they are all hard of hearing and just look at you until one of you backs down. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

Late in the day, I don't want coffee or tea. Have a nice big glass of ice water. Must stay hydrated they keep saying. Today I didn't go outside at all. Spent a couple of fun days away this week, but the heat! Had to keep a proper attitude to have a good time. But saw old friends, went to a wonderfully interesting auction where a box of baseball cards sold for $12,400 to an over the phone bidder. Amazing. Always remember for it to get that high someone was bidding against the winner. And postcards. So many - probably 1,000 over several lots and the money they went for...thought I was hearing things.
Hope everyone has a good night with plenty of cool a/c. I didn't open the drapes to keep the heat out.

Thank you Larry. I love that you checked on birthdays, got coffee going and cleaned the floor. My hero and love.

Looks very empty here, but the coffee pot is hot and I could use a cup and just rest for a bit. A nice long Saturday that other than going out on the back porch to water plants in pots, I can work inside. As well as take breaks to read and listen to music. This place is very attractive, I wonder who did the interior decor....lots of very talented people here. My best to everyone.

Thanks, Rump. I have been putting off reading them because I wanted to find more time - but you are right and I am so glad you called attention to this great writer.
