Saturday Caturday

I almost didn’t post this today because Chloe had me up all night being crazy in heat but since she’s been sleeping all day, I figure that she’s going to do a repeat performance tonight, so I might as well post something.

One thing I’ve noticed is that she wants to be right next to me all the time.

After Tuesday, all the craziness stops. Well ~ ya know. LOL

This has been going on for a long time IMHO

I remember George W. Bush saying that you were either with “us” or with “the terrorists” back in 2001.

& when I was a kid, I remember hearing that you couldn’t trust anyone over the age of 30. Which I never believed, since I spent most of my free time with at my grandparents’ house than anywhere else.

& there’s that song that more than one person told me is the “best” song is the world ~ Pink Floyd’s “Us & Them” ~ if that’s not about the Friend-Enemy Trap, I don’t what is.

You learn something everyday!

I did not know that “Chattanooga Choo Choo” was the first gold record ever!

I grew up listening to Glenn Miller ~ my father had a multi-disc set of his music ~ they were 78’s! Very brittle & easy to break.

Read the article from History of Sorts blog. Anything you read by Dirk Deklein is well-researched & referenced. & listen to the tune! You’ll be up & dancing & singing along.
