I’ve had a bit of a cold since yesterday, and that combined with the rain today, my early rude awakening from Steve, and I napped a fair bit this afternoon so I am up later than usual watching Game of Thrones again to prepare for the new season. I am also pleased to announce that the benevolent dictator who rules my house has once again chosen to grant me mercy:
I know everyone thinks they have the best cat in the world, but I really do.

Proper authoritahs will be alerted.
And Papa Stevedore Hemingway is a fine heir to his Lord and Tunchness.

His fur looks soft,
His face looks sweet.
He’s dreaming that John
Will be tasty meat.
His paws are crossed,
His purr is deep.
He’s going to kill you
In your sleep.

Sir Willie Whiskertons III is the best because he forgives you for all the shit you pull, Cole. Plus, LOOK AT HIS FLUFFINESS! JUST LOOK!!!

But I have the best cat in the world.
I just finished drawing the sixth page of my comic! To celebrate, I’m going to start the seventh.

Awww…what a cutie. I hope he’s feeling better.

@SiubhanDuinne: This why I have dogs, though the little one just might take me out.
Mary
I definitely do not have the best cats in the world. They’re weird and dumb, but I love them anyway.

First time I ever saw a meat loaf with ears on it.

@Mary: Sound like the best cats in the world to me!

@Mary: I’ve known a couple of great cats, but they’ve not been mine own. My last late kitty who lived til nearly 21 was eventually like my mother in feline form – not affectionate, and totally about her own current needs. But we shared our lives together longer than any other individual I’ve ever known, and we had a deep knowingness and mutual trust.
My sister just got a Golden puppy, so I am about to relive the early experience of the love of my life – the late great Seamus. Will never stop missing that sweet soul!

Okay. But just as all brides are beautiful, all cats are wonderful. It’s just a law, man.

British papers are full of “Putin owned Trump” stories this fine Saturday morning, alongside hopeful previews of the big British Lions v. All Blacks match that kicks off in about an hour.
Saw the first of the kid’s graduation performances last night. Grown-ass professional dancer, he is. How did this happen?
Beth Hanson
@?BillinGlendaleCA: Small dogs are basically cats in my experience.

Was he named after Bannon or Miller?

Too logy from being taken out for a fine meal to look up images but, sometime, find pix of Mikhail Gorbachev’s mother.
May well have been a sweet woman (who knows) but trebly blessed by the ugly stick.

I think Gandhi had the right take on Western civilization: it would be a good idea.
Elizabelle
@BBA: LOL. Hadn’t heard that one, but it works.
Steve relaxes, happy he has taught his human NEVER to run out of the favored cat food again. Not possible.

I think the democrats should come up with a new series of amendments which improve the ACA towards more universality more pooled risk / cost less reliant on employment etc. get concurrence in party and publish it.
Basically telling Rs if you ever think you’ll get one vote from us it won’t be any piece of repeal and only improve with one or all of these amendments.
One can dream

@pattonbt:
Alas, far too many self-proclaimed progressives believe that the only road to single-payer runs through thousands of needless deaths. And since they believe they won’t be the ones doing the dying, they’re cool with it.

I hope both Steve and you are felling better.
It’s well known that I have the best cats in the world.

@Msb:
I did not know that.

Having a second cup of coffee before getting ready and heading out to the farmers market. Got to be there before 6 to be in the lottery. Hope everyone has a good day.

@satby: Good luck and happy sales.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: My valley peeps are whining about the heat, I guess I got lucky last week out there.

It’s hot everywhere. London has felt like New York all week.

As far as who has the best cat in the world goes, I don’t have a dog in that fight.

And the big rugby match ends in a 15-15 tie, which media in both countries seem to agree was a fair result.

Awe,
You live to see another day ??

@raven: You did indeed, my weather station said it was 115.
