When my mother died in 1994, my dad made everything belonging to her into a shrine. Much as my brothers, sisters-in-law, and I, as well as others, suggested he get rid of things, he was quite resistant. In the 1970s or early 1980s, she drove this Cadillac. I drove it occasionally when I returned to visit, but by 1994 it was on its last legs.
The car sat in my dad's garage until he died, then Randy put it in his garage until they moved a couple of years ago. He then set it out on a patch of their large lawn in hopes someone would purchase it. Several weeks ago, I had to have the title notarized as executor for my dad's estate since there was finally an inquiry about the car. It sold for very little, and Randy sent me an Amazon gift card as my third of the sale. I spent it all on cat food and litter/
Yesterday afternoon, this adorable kitten, abandoned bu its owner, was dying: the ACC was in desperate search for someone to rescue it and get it to a vet. Last night, Magnificat Cat Rescue posted that they had got him too late to a vet and that he would be euthanized. I was heartbroken, since I have at the moment around $50 to last me until July 18, and I could do no more than wish it well. This morning, I found this current state of things from Magnificat on FB:

Back last night from our 8 day Mississippi River cruise from New Orleans to Memphis. Three hours later, our air conditioner went out...and the temp here in Austin is over 100.
Hopefully, the repair man will be here today.
In my dream I was getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or something, and my house was this magnificent century-old mansion which seemed to be in the middle of a city. I decided to walk out back to look around and to see what these people (guests?) were doing (it was still the middle of the night), and I didn't get much farther than the back porches and stone walls and getting a glimpse of the gardens or whatnot before I, sadly, woke up.

Good luck it is fixed today. Did you enjoy your cruise?
Elmore, I hadn't seen that the kitten was still alive. Has there been an update?
How hot is it going to be in NYC today?

Fantastic cruise, but if you have any mobility issues, avoid Graceland.
Then he took me to see his new “ninja academy,”. If you’ll remember Patrick was a contestant on “American Ninja Warrior” about five years ago. The show is so popular that there are places where people can do obstacles such as on the show. . His is only for children. They have birthday parties and summer camp. It seems to be a hit.

They just posted this update:
“He is critical. He is awake and lifts his head, but she is worried that they are having a hard time maintaining his blood pressure. That is the main issue right now, because low blood pressure means inadequate perfussion and can lead to organ failure. She actually remembers him from his previous hospitalization. The reason they could not find his charts yesterday is that he had been hospitalized as Peter Mego last time. She said that when they opened his belly last night it was full of pus and debris. The next 24 hours are critical, but she feels he has a chance.”

AccuWeather says it's 92 but feeling like 106 F today.
Poor kitty. My first thought was it was Thatch when I saw the photo. I hope he makes it.
As much as I love the East Coast I don't think I could handle those hot, humid summers again.

We have never had this type of weather before that I can remember.
