I guess I feel a bit better today.
I am going to try to take it easy again today (aside from going to visit the kitty) so that this "bug" gets completely out of me. No mail today, so I don't have to go and get that.

I may go see the kitty tomorrow, as I forgot tomorrow was a holiday. I'm guessing that if not today, Kitty's family will be home sometime tomorrow.

The cats are into things and I am feeling rather distracted.

A couple of months ago the Spokane City Council voted to make Columbus Day, Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the city of Spokane.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a good idea to have a Indigenous Peoples’ Day but using an already...

When I was growing up in Boston, Christopher Columbus day was a big deal. The city celebrated. There was a parade. I believe that it was a holiday for all.
Times have changed. I now live in Austin, Texas. No one celebrates...
