Winter Blast 2006
After all the threats of a horrible ice storm, all Mother Nature was able to throw at us was 24-36 hours of freezing drizzle. Bridges, overpasses and rural roads fell prey to the thin layer of ice, but urban roadways remained free of ice because they were too warm going into the event to support freezing. The media hyped it, of course, as a “Winter Blast” or “Arctic Outbreak” or other similar nonsense. To show the horrible devastation we suffered under the onslaught of the ice demon, I wanted to show you the crux of what I saw. Careful; no natural disaster can compare.
Yes, that’s it. I could find no ice on any other surface except the bushes outside my patio. I’m sure there was more. I should have been more thorough in my search, but I could not get beyond the horror I found right there in the bushes — the only proof of Winter Blast 2006. Sad…

She’s quite selfish, you know
When Derek came home briefly from the hospital, he was confined to a wheelchair because of the failing nerves in his spine. You can imagine how difficult it was for him to get around the house with four cats. Once they learned that the wheelchair was nothing to be afraid of, they began treating it like any other piece of furniture, albeit a mobile one.
Derek, on the other hand, learned quickly that he was no longer able to navigate our abode as easily as he once did, and certainly he could not maneuver around the cats by simply stepping over or around them.
This, Kako learned, equated to a captive audience. She would scurry about the house in order to get ahead of Derek while he was trying to get from point A to point B, then she would crash in front of him and block his advance. In her mind, this would force him to pay attention to her. In Derek’s mind, this was cruel and unusual torment of a disabled person, something he found great joy in once he was able to get beyond the frustration of being at her mercy.
Below is a perfect example of what she would do to him: rush to a position in front of him and crash as though she had been sleeping there comfortably for some time. Under the circumstances, Derek would have to deal with her on her terms if there was to be any hope of getting her out of the way.
Kazon the kitten
Enjoy some photos of Kazon from 1998 shortly after he was adopted.
Kazon is very affectionate. He loves to give “head butts” — walking up to you and rubbing his head against your face, although he generally doesn’t slow down and can hit you full force if you’re not careful. Here he is stalking Derek’s face for some lovin’.
