Mystery Kitty

Geese @ dawn

This kitty has been hanging around, fighting with our cats through the wire in the catio, for quite a while. The first time I saw this kitty several months ago, I was awakened by him fighting with Silver at 2:00 a.m. I stumbled out into the catio to see what was going on. I looked up to see this kitty looking down at me through the wire at the top of the catio. Seeing it in the darkness when I was half awake, it really looked like Spunk. I said, “Spunk! How did you get outside?” The kitty simply stared at me. I went back inside to put on shoes so I could go outside and collect Spunk, but there Spunk was on the bed.

7º @ 7:00

I remember being outside one morning at the end of January when the temperature was 7º F (-13.8 C) at 7:00 a.m. I was wishing for summer heat. Now that the summer heat is here, I started thinking about that cold morning in January, and the song I wrote about it.

Old Phones

Dawn

Did anyone have any of these old phones.

A staff member brought in a collection of old phones. My first mobile phone was a 1993 Motorola phone. It was big and heavy. Years later, I had a Motorola flip like the third phone from the left in the above photo (I still have that flip phone). I had a hand-me-down Android phone, but I didn’t like. My first iPhone was an iPhone 5 (I still have that iPhone). Now I have an iPhone 16. Laurie’s first mobile phone was a BlackBerry, then she had a hand-me-down Android, and then an iPhone 5. She now has an iPhone 16, also.

“I don’t need no stinking mobile phone!”

My first mobile phone was this model
