Follow-up to my coworker’s tire theft story.

Yvette was leaving the gym yesterday when she saw the guy in his car. She started to follow him while calling her husband, a police detective. He took over the tail and got other officers involved. The guy realized he was being tailed, cut across the various lanes of traffic and a chase ensued. He was caught. He had been arrested for robbing vehicles two years ago and the car had all the equipment for stealing from cars in it.

I love this kitten in the Maricopa County shelter, but the description " lynx point siamese" seems wrong. I love Siamese cats and I see nothing resembling a siamese! He looks more like a white tabby with markings.

I don't see any Siamese either.

I've organized most of my 2017 receipts. Annabelle and Thatch had too good a time playing in the plastic shopping bag of receipts, tasting the paper of the various receipts, and behaving badly in general. Much as I love them I had to be mean and discipline them. Thatch either loves or loathes me, so he promptly ignored me, but Annabelle gave me a genuine "why did you hurt me" look that broke my heart.

The cats probably especially enjoyed the food delivery receipts.

(Our food sometimes gets here with sauce on the receipts, and I tend to photocopy the receipts if I need them, and throw out the flavored ones.)

The loss of a computer is often grounds for much mourning.

That was a great police story DR JOHN G! Hurray for the great ending - for everyone except the perp of course.

Do you have a favorite among the "disaster" films made in the 1970's?

Jane, what did you think of that version of Nicholas Nickleby? It was the with Nathan Lane, right?

Yes. I thought the cast was wonderful and enjoyed it very much. Of course much was left out of the book which was fine. It has been too long since I read it, and I have only read it once, for me too miss anything.

I remember enjoying it a lot, too, though I was bothered in the beginning by how blond Nicholas was. After Roger Rees, I don’t see Nicholas as a blond.

I didn't make the connection until just a couple of years ago, but Charlie Hunnam who was Nicholas in that 2002 version was the young twink in the original British version of "Queer as Folk," and then went on to be the hunky hunk (lead? I never watched it) in "Sons of Anarchy." That's some range!

You can't find it on FB, or my quote (below)?

Great story in People on whether cats can count. In true feline fashion, the answer seems to be that cats can indeed count —but only if they want to.

There are always cast albums in the works.

Morning After, I think.

I'm up, I'm up. The alarm did not go off, but thankfully my internal alarm went off at 11:50, ten minutes before the arrival of Kay Cole. We had a nice visit for about thirty minutes. Then I've been dealing with other stuff ever since. Of course the Freshly meals have not arrived, thanks to Ontrac. I'm sure they'll show up two minutes before the mail place closes - IF that's the case I'll be there and I think I may just have to unleash on the guy in a rather serious manner.

bk · « **Reply #59 on:** February 07, 2018, 03:12:49 PM »

I haven't eaten anything yet - I would rather wait until the meals arrive but not sure I can hold out that long.
