a new cat
So, long story long... I never look at the local Dog Pound FB page. But somehow, one of my friends reposted a few pictures of Gray man. I've wanted cat since my old lady cat got hit by a car, but I didn't want a kitten. I talked to Jerry, called the pound. They don't do cats, but post pictures to help people out. They gave me a number. I called. It seems that this cat lived mostly outside with 4 other cats and at least one dog. His owner died. That person's son re-homed the others, and Grayman was left, alone, outside an empty house, and was fed twice a day. The son offered to get him neutered and vaccinated, and we picked up the cat from the vet. As soon as he came out of the crate, he slunk downstairs, and then UNDER the stairs. He didn't come out for 30 hours. During that time, I took him some food, and he ate. The second time I took him food, He came to the laundry room, and actually let me touch him for a second. Now I have his food upstairs, and he slink
love my library
When my sister and I were in 5th/6th grade, our mother was working. We were allowed to walk to the library after school - 16 blocks !! (uphill, in the snow or rain) . We were able to stay there until she picked us up after work. We weren't allowed to go anywhere else, or to stop on the way, or to get rides. I spent a lot of time in that building, and loved every minute. The summer after high school, I worked there in Technical Services, repairing books, filing in the card file, etc. They tore that building down in 2002, but rebuilt in the same place. (I wonder where they stored the books during construction?) During my college years, I worked at the reserve desk at the University of Missouri Library.
