The Ramblin' man is gone.


That's pretty sad.

Let me see if I got it right. That last photo is of Dickey Betts, the singer and songwriter of The Altman Brothers Band song "Ramblin' Man"?

Man. I take it back, Paul. I've said on a number of occasions that you were always wrong about everything, but you nailed it here, so, I apologize.

Is this the cat named "midnight"? Somehow that seems like an appropriate name or it seems to be one I'm reminded of. Is this the cat who died of cancer?

For some reason Merrilee Rush's Angel of the Morning came into my head when I saw this cat.

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can bind your heart.
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start...
Just call me Angel, of the morning, Angel.
Just brush my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me Angel, of the morning, Angel.
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay
With me.

That is a picture of my cat Boggit, who succumbed to lymphoma yesterday.

Thank you for quoting those lyrics, Paul. It was a touching tribute on the BBS. He was truly my special little angel.

Of course, if you're really sad - and perhaps slightly mentally ill - you could try what my mother did in similar circumstances.

This makes the 1966 television show look good. I love these old serials, how everyone wears a suit and tie and hat.

Willow passed away on Wednesday. She was singularly the most beautiful cat I have ever seen in my life. She was 16 years old and I got to know her for almost 7 years. She started to have kidney and liver failure and her organs were shutting down.

I can't adequately explain how much she meant to our family. I'm just angry and frustrated that this happened 2 times in 3 weeks to us. Her sister and litter-mate Noelani is still with us and I feel awful for her because she had never spent a day away from her sister in her life.

Willow was demanding, cuddly, cute, warm and an angel 95% of the time. She would also get into mischief and ask for attention in the middle of the night and cause a ruckus at times. I would joke all the time about how I adopted Mel's cats away from her. She had a good life and died with Mel and I next to her, holding her, loving her.

Also, is that first picture of Adam West as Batman a digital composition or something? I didn't think they had resolution and detail that great in the 60s.

Alright, fine, whatever man. I guess we can't kid around anymore.

Why you want to do that for? That's not nice at all.

Dude, it's cats. Not some has-been actor or drugged up wannabe, it's cats. And not just any cats.
