overnight guest this time, and other stuff

Well, looks like the killer-diller hurricane isn’t going to wallop us after all. Poor chicken little weather wienies. They were so cranked up in expectation. But hey, it’s raining heavily somewhere, so ... floods!!

Actually raining pretty heavily here too. Dark, wet, windy, and bone chilling cold. Almost duck hunting weather. Not sure if it’s going to let up by tomorrow, but the rain has stopped and the wind is up, so here’s hope. Because, of course, we’re scheduled to finally dig the mighty front garden tomorrow.  Wouldn’t want to do that during nice warm dry sunny weather, would you?  Maybe I’d better sort some bulbs tonight to see what goes where.

Shakey the broken cat is back with us again. Looks like she’ll be spending the night. Again. Last night she got fed mightily, then given a soft towel pile to sleep in on the bathroom floor, with the heat dialed up to something sub-tropical. And a nightlight. Wouldn’t want the cat left alone in the dark. Tonight she’s graduated to a fleece lap blanket folded up on a padded shag bathroom rug, out on the kitchen floor by the heater. And is on her 3rd or 4th baby plate of special extra stinky kitten mush chow. At which point she’ll sleep again, but the important thing is that if momcat cruises by on the porch, she’ll be able to look in and see her baby. Gosh, we worry about the smallest details.

I’m thinking of having another one of those cider drinks. I can get cozy myself, and try to get into reading Clancey’s Executive Orders once again. Hard to believe it was 20 years ago when it came out, but by that point in the series of books I’d had my fill of magical perfect know-everything Jack Ryan, and that hasn’t changed much at all in the two decades I let the book gather dust. But I am a big fan of Mr. Clark, the baddest bad ass ever. Maybe it will take two glasses of my special cider.

Cats Is Cats



VICTORVILLE, Calif. – A mountain lion showed its climbing prowess by scaling a 35-foot utility pole in the California desert.

The Daily Press of Victorville reported Wednesday that the big cat apparently got spooked by a school bus and ran up the wooden power pole in rural Lucerne Valley.

The cougar stayed atop the pole all afternoon Tuesday but was gone by Wednesday morning.

A staffer for the newspaper snapped a picture of the cat on its rare public perch.

What, didn’t the locals try to lure it down with a bowl of milk?

Right. Hmmph. I see the cat has graduated to watching TV now, her and her blanket being a new lap accessory. Kitteh seems perfectly at ease with this new situation, and is diggin on Bruce Campell as Ash Williams in The Evil Dead.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
