It does, however, explain an experience I had one winter evening in 1968 or '69 as a kid of 13 out on my paper route in the area along Lake Washington a couple miles north of NAS Sand Point. Typical northwest low clouds lit by city lights when a loud rumble was heard overhead. I looked up to see the unmistakeable silhouette of a Neptune, complete with blue flames visible from the engine exhasusts, at an altitude that couldn't have been much more than a thousand feet or so, heading south. Makes sense to me now that he was on approach to Sand Point, as the next closest airport of consequence was Boeing Field - way too much farther away and in somewhat the wrong direction. And to think they laughed at me when I had that Brain Clapper® with a built-in 38 year time delay installed... Bob ^,,^ Ah, NAS Sand Point, the place where, back in 1962, I took my first flight physical and signed on the dotted line commencing 23 years of naval service. It seemed strange to visit last summer and see all the old building in disrepair and see that the place has been converted to a "community garden' and dog park. The only aircraft I say was a RC model flying over one of the softball fields. Wayne http://www.soaridaho.com/ |

We all know that good cat is hard to find ....... or words to that effect. The poor beast is down about 30 rocks from his bladder, and looks like he lost a fight with a forest clearcutting crew. Not at all sure why they went with the corndog 'do for his winderfully striped tail... But he does seem to be on the mend, I'll take that over other options any day.

At least we ain't bitchin' about politics. ('poli' as in 'many'; 'tics' as in 'involuntary spasms'.) The Barniff needs a return visit to the cat repair shop for a checkup soon, after we get the results of what his rocks were made of. Vet already mentioned the possibility of such a dietary tweak. Not looking forward to stuffing things down his gullet - he already has a few of my fingers to gnaw on... Is it nap time yet? |

Hairy actually *likes* eating the tab.... strange as that is. gotta crack it in half, but the ruffian will jump up on the counter in search of his dose, and eat it enthusiastically..... contrary SOB that he is. (obviously *my* child.... %-) buy them on line: i got 500 tabs for about what 60 was via the vet here in Lost Angels. pics are from the RESCAP i drove to get "Smoky".... we didn't plan it that way, but we went to Insane Diego the day of the Cedar Fire....it took all my army acquired skills to get through the barriers and the blockades to meet up with his rescue people at their evac site....they had to unass their AO & we met at the local WalMart. redc1c4, "poli' & 'ticks' as in many blood sucking creatures...... %-) -- "Enlisted men are stupid, but extremely cunning and sly, and bear considerable watching."
