One Of My Very Own
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
I posted this a couple of days ago...

Then I got this comment:
"Would have been even funnier if a more deserving animal, YOU, had fallen in. Cats aren't as evil as you make them out to be. But thankfully you're so open-minded about things. Except for cats. Then again. You got rid of your dog because YOU tripped over him. Hope you don't trip over your wife."

Well, lady, you have come to the right place!

Morganucodon is usually considered the first mammal with its fossil dating from around 205 million years ago.
The closest relative to the Morganucodon was a small vole-like creature that only survived on one island for scores of millions of years. When humans came to their island they brought their cats and those domestic house cats killed every single one of them.
I took that personally.
---
So, let's play a little game of tit for tat. If there was an animal that preyed on nothing but domestic house cats how would you feel about it? Well, I have no more songbirds near my home because of my neighbor's cats. And consider this...
Your cats don't even eat what they kill. They do it because that's what they are - murderers.
---
I AM NOT advocating extreme violence being executed upon any animal.
After all, we're not cats.
---
And I certainly don't begrudge a person a loving companion.
But for the sake of the rest of nature please keep it indoors.
NOTE: The cat that started all of this was an outdoor cat.
---BTW the dog part was a cheap shot. I tripped over my dog and broke my hip. During my convalescence I could not afford to trip over it again so I gave it to another loving family. But on the upside, my wife now knows for damn sure she better not ever trip me.
Most people think that the Bible is full of unique stories. But almost everything in the Bible appeared in previous legends and myths of other "saviors".

Here's a thought experiment for you:
We tend to obsess about life after death, but hardly ever ponder life before birth.
"There is more to dying than meets the eye. Humans and other animals have demonstrated a surge in brain activity while undergoing cardiac arrest. And in new large surveys, hospice workers and grieving families report seemingly inexplicable periods of lucidity in people with dementia who are dying.
Dying is not the simple dimming of one’s internal light of awareness, but rather an incredibly active process in the brain. Particularly for people with dementia, “we should still pay close attention to their mind because some aspects are still there, though they may be quite damaged,” says Jason Karlawish, a gerontologist at the Penn Memory Center.
In the final months, weeks, or moments before death, parts of the brain normally suppressed become accessible in patients with dementia. This “may be due to these kinds of last-ditch efforts of the brain” to preserve itself as physiological systems fail, says Jimo Borjigin, a neurologist and an associate professor of molecular and integrative physiology at the University of Michigan."
"Communism ends with most of the money and power in the hands of a few," we are told. I wonder if "most" is the 50% that the richest dozen Americans now possess.
I will never forget the first time my daughter lied to me. I took it as a sign of self-confidence.
NEWS FROM THE FRONT
The real reason they didn't make it to Moscow...
---
95 Ukrainian Defenders returned home after a prisoner swap. These are their first moments back in Ukraine.
I'm thinking of starting a News From The Front section in this blog but I don't come across enough material. Therefore, if you have anything about Ukraine please send it to me. Use the email. I swear I will delete your address immediately.
Once before I die I want to see someone with unibrow shave everything but the connecting middle.
Living people eat dead mushrooms while living mushrooms eat dead people.
AND AWRY WE GO
Now imagine trying that with a huge mustache and beard.
One would think that the open door alarm on that thing would be deafening.
Did you notice this guy?
God knows what happened to the guys on the right.
That must happen often.
I put up a swing on my parent's lake property and my sister and her daughter asked to be the first to use it. Before they sat down they asked if it would hold two people their size. I said that it would hold a small car. They sat and it collapsed immediately.
And she put the glove in her mouth.
I'm married to a woman who tries to force things as her first option.
I'm interested in knowing if those people are charged with any crime. Anybody?
Speaking of...
Books and magazines printed before about 2010 may someday be precious because they are known for sure to have been written by humans.
It’s somewhat ironic that Ms. Frizzle used a magic school bus to teach science to children.
OBJECTS OF INTEREST
A test track?
I bet that lady commenter would be really upset if that snake killed that cat just for the fun of it.
Bisected Boulders With Stretched Bronze Interiors by Romain Langlois
I read these quotes recently:
"What do you do for fun?"
"I'm an artist. We don't have fun."

I was once interviewed for national TV and they asked, "What's your favorite part of mural painting?"
I replied, "Photographing it after it's finished. The rest is just work - real hard work."
I love olives. Bartenders would often bring me a few without being asked. And that's how you get massive tips.
The reason many men have a foot fetish is because they lost their virginity to a sock.
Hydrox
That was our cookie of choice when I was growing up. We would crumble a few in a glass, add a little milk, and stir until it became a most delicious paste-like confection.
Phone Holder
Deer Noshing
The Founding Fathers had British accents.
Our relationship is 50/50 - I scratch my wife's back and she falls asleep.
PEOPLE NOT LIKE THE REST OF US
That dad must have forgotten that his son has a massive head supported only by a scrawny neck.
I was so very wrong about this lady.
I had thought she was just another inbred privileged royal and from what I have gleaned from reading about her she was a very nice lady.
"There is such a thing as homicidal sleepwalking. It’s also called homicidal somnambulism, or sleepwalking murder. In 2005, Jules Lowe was acquitted of murder after killing his father because he was sleepwalking during the crime."
My friend Rupert used to say that every job site needy a lazy man to figure out the easiest way to do things - it was usually me.
I would have moved the barrier immediately.
Now imagine if this lazy person were asked for input concerning baking this bread...
Real Cowboys
Not even his most ardent supporters believe that but they are in too deep now to say so.
*That one is rather strange so I will give you the answer tomorrow.

I doubt that it's true, but true or not, did you notice the turtle on its back to the left of the truck trying to upright itself?
Puzzle. Time: Too infinity and beyond.
^^A1^^ Cats kill 1-4 BILLION birds year, just in the US.

D9 I've had 3 spinal surgeries. I often tell friends and family " if ya wanna know the easy way to do something, ask a guy with a bad back"
I've hurt my back multiple times, been a drywall stocker for 25 years. All I gotta say is balance is key to not injuring my back. I also operate a 10 ton forklift and know how to balance a 2000 pound pallet of cement on one fork. It all coincides with balance. If you're off balanche with yourself or you're off balance with your machine, shit will go wrong.
