Cat Tree Hugger

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr BOOM! “Whoa! I think I was just photo-bombed by Marble!”

Head banging to “Cat Scratch Fever!”

Spunk loves his cat tree

A poor, pathetic paparazzo, penny for your Spunky thoughts!

“I’ll give you cat scratch fever for your poor, pathetic paparazzo penny!”

Go Ask Teagan

Teagan’s vocals on White Rabbit are flawless. Click on the image to see her video.

Teagan is celebrating her birthday with a tribute to Grace Slick by singing a cover of Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit, the iconic song based on Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland and associated stoies set to a relentless Spanish Paso-doble (Spanish march) rhythm. It is probably one of the best known songs from the psychedelic 60s.

I was nine or ten years old in 1968 or 1969 when I first heard White Rabbit played on a local radio station. Not being an avid Lewis Carroll reader at the time, I had no idea what the lyrics were about other than tripping. I actually thought it had something to do with Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant, which was released in 1967 a few months after White Rabbit, but I had heard Guthrie’s album before I heard “ White Rabbit” played on the radio.

We met the three coyotes on the levee again this morning.

Loki: “Psst! Marble! You really don’t want to eat that cheese. Il paparazzo had his filthy paws on it, you know!”

Plugged In

Sunrise

A friend dropped by, and we played guitar for a while. Silver plugged in after my friend left.

So, so you think you can tell 
Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain 
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? 
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?†

More Rain

Dwan

We have received 0.44 inches of rain over the past three days. That’s as much rain as we received in the past three months.

A cheeky cheese standoff

Sandias through the rain this afternoon.
