Chas this is the first time we have ever observed a family of cats. They show so much affection for each other it is a joy to watch. We are just grateful that He let us see this.

I wanna go back to 1954 'n' buy up a bunch of those CT-100s that they can't sell...Or a Duesenberg or 2...Or V-16 Cads...Or V-12 Lincolns...Or even a bunch of Furrin' trash nobody wants-Mercedes, Rollses, Hispano-Suizas, Bugattis...Yeah, THAT'S the ticket...a Bug Royale from 1927...7 or 8 made, one of the largest, most opulent cars EVER made...Knowin' MY luck, the time machine would erase my memory, or you wouldn't be able to bring money back w/you or something, & there you go...Stuck again. But you could make out like a Chinese bandit buyin' up stuff like early thirties Ford V-8s & stuff...They were just rattletrap old cars then...$500 would have been a LOT for them...Or would you try to change things, go back to 1889 & strangle Hitler in his crib...Or Stalin, Mao one of them guys ? Or go to '63 & see who REALLY shot JFK ? 'Twould be innerestin'...(grin)

No more fun than I've had out of my life, I'd like to go back to 1953 and strangle MYSELF in the crib, and save myself a lot of pain and effort.

Not to worry, I've always had a dark style of humor...although I have had kind of a tough row to hoe this year. Once I get this damn trip to Isla Mujeres out of my hair I'll feel better. My wife thinks this is gonna be fun. And I suppose that once I get there and slam dunk a few Das Ekkies I'll kind of enjoy it also. After 25 yrs of putting up with me, I have no choice but to humor her.
The logistics are killin' me though. She doesn't have employees. And I despise airplanes. Not hate...despise.
Now if start talking about how I've given away my Rega's, my Dared's, and my Hornshoppes, then you may want to show some concern. That means I won't be needing them where I'm going (learned that from a con). My mentor, actually. Did time for armed robbery and went on to be a successful builder. Probably the most honest person I've ever known.
I got it rough huh? Bitching about going to the Caribbean on vacation. Only shows just how tired I am.
But thanks for the thought.

I know exactly what you mean. Way off topic but can't get it out of my head. Watched Oprah today (yes, I get paid to watch TV. It would be fucking Oprah) and learned that you can buy sex with a 6 year old girl (no, that's not a typo. Six years old) in Cambodia for $3 American. You can buy the girl outright for a little more than $300. I was feeling stressed out at the time and then I heard that. Saw the brothels and heard the stories from a mutilated girl who got kicked out after they stuck a pick in her eye.
I got it rough too. Watching TV in my huge office with a view of the Rocky Mountains, complaining that I'm stressed out in my six figure job. In the mean time, a six year old girl is being sold into slavery.
Have a great trip and try to take a minute to count your blessings.

Time travel, Pfffftt! You earthlings are SO primitive! I was the one who put that "horse-sling" over Czarina Catherines bed. THAT was one twisted ho!
(And Rasputin was one of us. As was Nostradamus.)

Safe trip Chas, and hope you get to relax.
Here is our little family of cats; The black and white is the male, Mouser, The Tabbico is Callie the mother cat, and the calico is Freckles.
The second shot has the orange tabby Missy, the calico again and the tortiseshell Roofer. She got that name becaus one morning Florence sent up the bedroom window blind and found herself face to face with the kitten. They all climb trees like squirrels and love to jump onto the roof and run around.

Fine looking critters, I'm glad that you enjoy them so.
The trip will be fine. Actually, I'm glad that Fast Eddie pointed out to me as to just down in the mouth I was becoming. I always was prone to making myself miserable, now that I'm wise to my game again, I'll make myself happy...to the best of my jaded abilities.
It's not what happens to you, it's how you let it affect you...I keep forgetting this.
Chas
