We have had an exceptionally wet and dreary winter thus far. Rain seems never ending. Sometimes I want to yell at the sky to stop with the rain. It's oppressing. The long gray. Winter in Oregon. Besides the damp wet hanging in the air, even when its not raining, we contend with short days and a lot of darkness. I

I am generally good at keeping things up for safety especially. And yet I let go the rear brake change needed on my car until the weekend. I knew it was needed because they screeched when I back out and down the driveway. But Friday I heard terrible scraping noises too, when I braked. That was the end of that and I ma

Having to type in my writing through a cell phone merely makes things harder, but at least I always have a phone with me these days. And nothing to type in. Just the silence and the long days going by with nothing to show for them. I live in silence, and there is not that much that can be done about that.
I'm something of a zombie after all the work of the weekend and first days of this week. Yesterday I was forced to succomb to my affliction and blankly stare at the wall the part of the day I wasn't sleeping, that is. The only way for me to recover after over working is to sleep a lot and drink a lot of water. My timele
Pauling and the Guggenheim Foundation Over the course of a decade reading Linus Pauling’s opinions on several Guggenheim Fellowship applicants, Henry Allen Moe, Secretary of the Guggenheim Foundation, developed a good sense of Pauling’s capabilities in judging the work and potential of his peers.

Trading insults over text message is a total waste of my time. Most of my time seems spent on the couch, surfing the internet, looking for some data to fill in the immense loneliness that is my existence. I spend most of my time contemplating the silence, vaping nicotine endlessly, drinking coffee, feeding the c
Well, for my records although little does it matter, here are the 13 fixed Sunday from the Ridgeway colony in Sweet home. There were five girls in all. Three calicos, a young brown tabby and an orange and white bobtail. The rest were all boys and all various shades of orange except for one big bad black

Well, I overdid things with catching 25 with Karen maybe. Oh well, today they go home. Karen took the 25 to Portland Saturday night and then to the FCCO clinic yesterday to be fixed. Then she and her boyfriend drove them down here last night. During the day yesterday, I rounded up 7 more to be fixed today up in Salem.
25 cats caught at two locations in Sweet Home. 12 at the one I started two days ago. 11 of those were caught by yesterday and one more today. 13 at the other location, which isn't far from the first one. Karen came down from Portland this morning and just left for home with all 25 cats in her car. The cats will all b

Well, it will be a big cat catching weekend. I think. Karen from Portland had 25 reservations and asked me to find colonies to fill those reservations. She intended to come down Saturday to help trap for a Sunday FCCO clinic in Portland. Then I have the usual 7 reservations Monday in Salem. I found two colonies

I'm a big fan of using the iOS accessibility speech features to read books—mostly while I'm driving. It's also great when I've been reading on my iPhone for a while and need to do something else but I'm also really curious about what's going to happen next in the book. It's easy to turn on: Open iPhone Se
Fluffy, who was dumped in the county park, is now in Portland. He's in foster care to adopt, I think. I took him up today along with two Sweet Home kittens, who will board the Kitten Caboose on their journey to new lives. So long my pretty park boy. Fortunately, he didn't have to remain there long after being spott
