Well thanks, Gonzo. Choco is doing a bit better. She had liver problems and she doesn't even drink a little. Now she has expensive prescription cat fud. We hope she likes it, because we have a lot of it.

Poor Choco is over at the emergency vet clinic. Stuff isn’t right with her digestive tract. Send good thoughts that they can make her better.

Sorry to hear that, Gonzo. Choco isn't feeling well today, if you can spare a good thought for her, send it her way.

So is this guy, who didn’t watch the fireworks from under the bed.

You must become unjaded, and congratulate us. We vacuumed and cleaned the floors. Little & Choco are still hiding from the suck machine.

Yes she is. This is our Little, he is no longer what his name implies.

And to you as well Gonzo. Glad to see you and Fizgig survived the teleportation theng. Little says Happy #caturday too. He met lots of people walking by for the Butter & Egg parade.

#Caturday Little is enjoying a mouthful of denim.

Good turn out here, Gonzo. Thanks for your support. Say hey to Fizgig for Little & Choco.

This was Petaluma CA. Much bigger than October.

Was looking through papers for 2025 tax stuff and found this picture of my great-grandfather, for whom I was named. His suit is baggy, but his mustache is magnificent. Don't know when this was taken, but it is likely to have been in Montreal. (My father's maternal grandfather.)

Yep. This cat spent his formative months behind a convenience store. He has a decided junk food preference.

Little is a threat to bed making. #caturday.

Here he is. Directly in line with the heat register.

The world is in the crapper so I made the filling and the dough. Empanadas tomorrow. I am now being assaulted by this domestic short-haired terrorist. #caturday

#kingtides High tide on the Petaluma River at G Street, 1237 PST January 3, 2026. 8.2' plus runoff from around .6" of rain in the last 24 hours. (+Maybe a little storm surge.) Compare to 1/1/2026 high tide second photo. (Look at notch in left hand piling.)

Happy New Year Gonzo. Just be aware of favorable opportunities and snatch ‘em. Little & Choco say Salud!

Hey Gonzo, Little and Choco say hey. Little likes the wiold, Choco is just a lazy old girl, living in a lazy old world. #caturday

This creature tried to eat a potato chip. #caturday

I had a cat that did that. He also jumped into the fish tank when we had the lid off to clean it. Here he is much later in life:

Oh Gonzo, don’t be a momb mauler. She doesn’t want to use bad words. Like I sometimes say to Little when he chomps my arm.

Erika Kirk’s signature looks like a web spun by a spider on meth.

#KingTides High tide on the Petaluma River at the foot of G Street on 12/4/25 just before noon.

Litttle was not interested in the Cal game. He was interested in lap time. (And biting me.) #caturday.

#KingTides 8’ tide at foot of G Street Petaluma CA. 1310 hours, 11/6/2025.

Looks a lot like Erika Kirk, whose signature is very odd.

Here is the shirt. I bribed cat with dinner.

I got a new shirt for No Kings Day. Put it on the bed to admire it and when I came back into the room later it had been commandeered by the cat. He approves. This is cat.

Remember Mario Savio? He was right, still is.
