Happy St. Patrick's Day... with cats

Happy St. Patrick's Day... with cats.

The profile of St. Patrick which I suggested earlier this week, is chapter three of my book, Strangers On The Earth, which I mentioned yesterday. I posted it early so teachers and such would have a little background material in advance of today if they needed it..

Yesterday, after only 36 tries, yes, that’s right, 36! — Count ‘em: 1, 2, 3, 4,…36 tries to revamp the pdf back cover — I finished work on the autobiography of Joseph Piram King, the 100-year-old great-great-grandfather of my friend Wes. It is at the bottom of my on-line Bluefish Books catalogue at www.bluefishbooks.info .

Our youngest daughter plans to come home from college this weekend. Looking forward to that. She plans to go with me to the Fire Museum and take some photos; because my hands get so shaky at times, I messed up some of the shots I tried last Monday and Sunnibunny will take them again for me.

Next Monday, March 20^th, I’ve been invited to give a talk at the Maxville Branch Public Library. I’ll be giving an overview of Jacksonville history and illustrating my lecture with various rusty objects I’ve dug up here and there around the city. My show-and-tell session will be at 6:30 p.m.The library is located at the junction of Highway 301 and Normandy Blvd. If you’d like to attend, I’d be happy to see you there.

Anyone doing a Google search for “Live Pussycat Cam” is in for a big disappointment. My son Donald has set up a 24-hour surveillance camera so he can watch his cats even while he’s online while he’s at work. I think it’s because he can’t trust the vile creatures not to demolish his house, he says it’s because he enjoys seeing the kittens at play.

Personally, I can see all the cats I want to see during a drive on the Interstate. But, if anyone else is crazy enough interested enough to want to watch Donald’s cats, the link is http://www.rdex.net/webcam/ .

After the server problems last month, Donald has also restored his on-line Dream Library site where you can record your dreams and read other people’s dreams and comment on them. The Dream Library can be found at http://www.dreamlibrary.org/forums/index.php .

Donald is very smart with computers. He’s a network manager. He teaches Linux Cluster classes. He could have set up Wes’ book in maybe only 34 tries… but look what he does with his computer skills and talent!

Wasted! All wasted!

Cat Cam, indeed.

Where, O where did I go wrong as a parent!
