Hmmm...can't put in a title which really doesn't matter since this is a random post anyway. So many strange things on the news lately it's making me wonder if they're making up half the stories. Good tabloid press and all.

Even my favorite cafe got a bit weird last time I was there, so I've quit going again for awhile. I think they're trying to get in a much younger crowd...from the music last time I would say between 13 and 19 which seems strange since they once catered more to the family crowd. So now I have to find a new place to hang out once in awhile on the nights I feel like going out. I'm sure I'll go back once in awhile just not on Friday nights anymore. I loved the band the way it was when they played a mixture of music and songs, but last time no matter what song they played, there were three really young boys who played along with screaming guitars and going off on their own riffs that had nothing to do with the song. Too much guitar soup for my taste. You know how they say too many cooks spoil the broth? Well, too many guitars spoil the music. Especially when half of them want the spotlight and are battling for the lead guitar position.

On the fourth we had our usualy fire works display at Dillon Park. Now that's only a few blocks from here and if I liked fireworks, which I don't, I could just stand in my yard and watch. Well, it got really loud this year so Keith said maybe I should go see if Little Friend (the stray cat that hangs around) would like to come in and get away from the scary sounds. LOL! I opened the door and zoom! she was in faster than a speeding bullet. We let her come in to this room as it has an outside door and a door to close off the rest of the house. That way there are no cat battles. The other day Bug came down while she was here...they sniffed noses and he walked to the door where he likes to watch out the storm door. She backed up and looked for a place to hide! She weighs maybe 5 pounds and he weighs 18 pounds. I think she was afraid he'd sit on her. I eventually took him back up and all was well with her little world again. Haven't seen much of the original stray, Scarface, but he still comes around to scrounge a meal every once in awhile.

Yesterday the cats who live here were lucky to still be alive after I got up. When I came out to the kitchen I found they had knocked a bunch of their crunchy food all over the kitchen floor, dumped a bowl of water over it and then tried to cover up their mess by ripping up newspaper and putting it over the wet mess. That was fun to clean.

Then...I went to the dining room table and found my music had been knocked off and was all mixed up on the floor. One of my books on tape was a mess and I still can't find one of the tapes and they had emptied a box of plastic bags! I won't even get into the living room mess. Today things were much better. I guess after I screamed at them yesterday they decided they shouldn't do things like that. What I did find amusing is they knew they had made a mess with the cat food and water and actually tried to hide the evidence.

Well, have a nice weekend. I put off going to the laundramat during the week so have to go today. Whoopee!! Way too much excitement for a Saturday.
