Yesterday I was mildly amused by this:

I was walking a stretch of the bike path and was coming up to a spot where there are side parts for benches. As I approached I saw a cat...no, that's a piece of bark (we've had storms galore and there is a lot of tree debris around) shaped like a cat. I'm getting closer and closer...is that a cat or cat-shaped tree debris? The piece of bark gets up and walks. (Hey, bark...cat...bark...cat...that right there is funny.) So yeah, it's a cat. On the other side, I see a paper bag. No wait, is that a paper bag or a cat? It is also a cat. Then I see another cat. And another. I was talking out loud to myself "well look at all the kitties...hi kitties..what are you all doing here?" then I saw a fifth cat. None of these cats looked anything like any of the other cats. Well, that's weird. Who knew the bike path was home to a cat society? Then I saw old butter bowls, someone is feeding these cats. It can't be a nearby homeowner, well it might be but this section of the bike path is built along an old railroad line and it's nothing but densely wooded with undergrowth ravine on both sides.

Then I turned around and went the other direction and about a mile away there was another cat. Cats galore! It was a kittieful day.

Speaking of bike paths, how does an old dude fall off a tricycle? I hear the bambilance and look out my front window and there's an old dude laying on the ground next to an adult tricycle. He didn't just fall off he had dirt on his knees and his stomach. He was fine, the medics checked him out and they were there before I even knew he was out there (usually in such a situation I go to the scene to see if there's anything I can do until help arrives...coupla weeks ago I comforted some kids who had just been in a car wreck...woman had a broken leg but all was OK otherwise) but I sort of wish I had known what was going on because I still don't get how a man falls off a tricycle and gets dirt all over him. I just don't see how it's physically possible. Anyway, perhaps he should join the cats on the bike path.

And that's all the news that's fit to print. I'll be here all week, try the Meow Mix.
