He's just this guy, you know? (I no longer respond to messages. If you engage me please do it in public, otherwise I am going to assume that you are a bot, a bad actor, or a paid shill, unfortunately.)

Sparky, at one of his favorite windows. There's a plate full of birdseed outside, he loves watch the Bird Channel. Like the other cats who own us he's fascinated by birds but leaves them alone. He was a stray who found our home. No idea how he @caturday @catsofbluesky @cat @stray @rehome @feral

Sparky, an abandoned stray who found his way to our home, crashed out half under the covers sharing my heating pad. He went from skittish to a devoted and relaxed hedonist in no time. Our cats and dog and people earned his trust and he integrated quite quickly.

I neglected my daily driver for FAR too long, to the point that his idle was rough and he chugged under load. The slow devolution was subtle. Today I put in a new air filter, plug wires, distributor cap & rotor. NO JINX but the difference was night-and-day. I bought this little beast brand new

I am damned near to old as dirt, I can't handle loud music in my pickup while I'm driving. If I'm looking for an address I have to turn ot off. There are still a few songs, though, that make me crank it. "Free Bird," "Closer," "Jack the Ripper," et cetera. I just caught "Dragula" on the radio.

I knew the story of Kitty Genovese thanks to Harlan Ellison. I knew that evil triumphs when men do nothing before that. I have no difficulty in believing that 50+ jagoffs did NOTHING while someone was being victimized, though. People have been sh!tbirds since forever. That is why it is up to US.
