Kitten update

Published by under Uncategorized

Update on my brother’s new kitten, Iggy. He’s been exploring inside and outside the house and hasn’t gotten into major trouble yet. That house is like a jungle gym for a kitten. Iggy even followed Jonathan out to the parking lot of his house while Jonathan was working on a car. Iggy amused himself by jumping back and forth across a ditch for nearly an hour. I guess you’re easily amused when you’re a kitten!

Mars, my brother’s old cat, is doing better in dealing with his new little brother. He was pretty mad for the first couple of days, which is only to be expected when you are 14 years old and have been king of the roost all that time. But now he’s sleeping upstairs with Jonathan, Iggy, and Jed the wonder dog, though not getting too close. I hope Mars will pass on some of his mousing skills, and that the two cats eventually get closer.

Independence Day II

Published by under Uncategorized

My mother’s deadbeat husband has been served with divorce papers! He can run, but he can’t hide. The court date is set for September 4, and he has the choice of appearing in court in San Diego, where he will be arrested by the Marines for desertion, or not showing up and having judgement go against him. My understanding is that after the judgement is made, his wages (he works at Home Depot in the warehouse, so let’s guess it’s about the same as pimply teenagers make at Mickey D’s — quite a career accomplishment for a 35 year old) will be automatically garnished, or whatever the word is, and sent to my mother. So maybe he won’t get away with it after all.
