All in the family?
Kittay's lineage is a mystery to me. She showed up last year and kept coming around so I adopted her. I already blogged about the "Simba" episode so I know she's been in the 'hood for a while.
Today's surprise came in the form of this. I opened the door and that's what I saw. I wonder if it is a cousin? They seem to get along OK so they could be family, or just another black and white cat - as if there is a shortage of them!

And, another . . .
When I got home, what did i find? Yes, another postcard! This time from my cousin's family on their Easter Holiday in Exmoor! Thank you Lydia!

Back at last!
There has been an interruption in ADSL service here today. I got up this morning only to find this out. Then it came back for about fifteen minutes around 10:00 AM only to go out again for about ten hours. So it goes. We shall see how long it lasts now.

Today's task
I get to bring Patty Passat into the body shop for an estimate this morning. She is covered in dimples from that hailstorm we had two weeks ago. All the top surfaces have multiple depressions, no broken glass, but the plastic apron under the windshield has a hole in it and has to be replaced.
Any guesses as to the amount?

Pootie gets a bath
Finally after about a year I couldn't resist the charms of the North Central High School Girls Lacrosse team.

Spring carries on
The once beautiful harbinger of Spring, Forsythia, has gone by the wayside helped by that hail storm we had last Friday.
Although fascinated by the sights and smells of the changing season, my resident poser affects the posture of disinterest.
Spring in Indiana doesn't get much finer than this.

What the hail?
Golf balls rained down from the sky for about ten minutes and bounced off the roof, walls, cars, everything! Many windows were broken all over town. The North side (where I live) was hit hard. My cars have dimples in the paint work, but none of the windows were broken. I will try to get a picture and post it in the extended entry.

How to aggrivate a kitty
Easy, take her for a ride in the car. I really want Kittay to "get used" to riding in the car, so I am taking her out for short trips - ones that take less than ten minutes. Not having much success. She seems to finally calm down when we are about two blocks away from returning home.

Katie is bummed!
Her external HD crashed with Western Digital disease - a clunking sound that means death. I have a replacement for her, but all that stored iPod music is history.

I will finish the taxes, I will, I will.
Got started on them last Saturday, but have slacked off since. They have to be mailed by Saturday so I must finish up soon. Unfortunately, there is a full moon - probably not a good time to send my taxes in, but do I have a choice?

Fearless predator
I going to have to change Kittay's name. When I opened the back door and looked down at the deck, guess what I saw. Yep. One disembowled bunny presented in all its glory for my perusal.

TGIF
Thunder kept waking me up during the night. It wasn't a bad storm, but small ones kept rolling by every two hours - just enough to wake me up. So yes, today is going to be a write-off. Kittay gave up and spent the night hidden in the back of the closet. Poor Kittay!

Well, partially naked anyway. There is a link at the top of the page explaining the deal.

Nothing says "Spring" like the flush of Forsythia!

Changing the clocks
I haven't had to change my clocks for daylight time in twenty-nine years, except for the few times I was in England over Spring break - they still do it, and they do it a week before everybody else!
