Bucky Katt

It's been a very long time since the last post. Didn't have much to say, and only a couple people read this anyway.

So, Bucky Katt. I have always enjoyed the newspaper comic "Get Fuzzy." It's been more than a year since Ruby died and I was wanting another Siamese kitten. I have been without a Siamese since Baby T-Pring died several years ago. So I decided to start checking the shelters and went to Friends of the Fairmont Animal Shelter (FOFAS). The lady there said that they had some Siamese kittens being fostered and she would give my phone number to the foster mom. I came home one Saturday afternoon to hear a phone message that the Siamese kittens were on display at my local Petco from 10:00 to 3:00 that day. It was 2:00! I rushed over there and met two little Blue Point boys. The Seal Point girl was already gone (which would have probably been my first choice because of the color). But I fell in love with one of the little boys, who I promptly named Bucky Katt.

Bucky doesn't get along with any of the other cats or dogs yet, so he is either in the kitchen behind the gate when I am home (unless he is in my lap) or he stays in the bathroom while I'm out. He manages to keep himself quite amused. So far, one roll of paper towels and two double rows of toilet paper. He was already litter trained, neutered, and had most of his shots. The vet's office loves him. I just hope the other animals will get used to him so that he can have the run of the house like they do.

On the chicken front, Gloria keeps smashing and eating her (unfertilized) eggs, so I haven't had any fresh eggs for the longest time! She gets the finest laying mash and treats, so she can't be starving. I really must sign up on the Urban Chicken site and ask for help.

Everyone else is fine. They've all had their annual exams for the year and everyone is healthy. Callie is really fat and weighs as much as Rhona - 16 pounds!

Halloween is only a month away and I will start decorating my office space on Monday. I got my costume last Saturday so I don't have to obsess about that anymore. Hope Harold and Jamie have a Halloween party this year!

Next weekend is Silicon. I will be going on one day with Cyrus. Then The Game is on the 21st. Our characters are up to 10th level. Wonder what Kelly has in store for us this time?

Bored now. Must go.

Wait, one more thing. I got one of those GPS devices for my car and really got to give it a workout last weekend when I went to buy stuff for my costume. This lady runs an Egyptian import business out of her home in San Bruno, which turns out to be not so far from Tanforan Shopping Center. I had never been in the area so I programmed the address into my Garmin device and let her rip. It was awesome! I don't know how I ever got by without it. I just know that I would have gotten lost trying to use Google or Yahoo maps. My new other Motto (besides Free Is Good) is Better Living Through Technology.

Now I'm done.
