Part 8

 

I guess that's what happens when you redefine "treat people like human beings" to have the same meaning as "work 'em like rented mules".

This state of affairs was inevitable when people bought wholesale into the notion that the New Deal was a failed experiment. "We The People" forget our high school history classes before graduation so don't even know any more that the working middle class, a thing that had never existed before in the entire history of the human race, was entirely the result of federal government policies and programs. The politricksters appeal to our greed with that crap about "paying for other people's <whatever>" so we'll forget that to everyone else on Earth we are, individually, "other people".

 

Cats are funny. That's why I have two.

 

 

They are funny till you have 5 and they are all indoor. D@mn rescue cats all have mental issues.

 

Back in the day.... I had an old chicken coup for a garage. (28 by 80... it was actually pretty nice.) One cold winters day, I noticed I had a white cat staying in my garage. It was like -5 out.... on the warm days.... so, I just figgered everyone needs a place to stay, and if the cat was happy there, that's just fine. And it was indeed fine... until spring, when I wanted to do some garage cleanup, and discovered that my one white cat, was female.... and had produced a couple litters of kittens in the meanwhile. For a total of 17...... (including mom) THAT was a problem.....

I was working out in the garage, chopping up an old Jag I had, that was beyond rescue.... (sat in field for 18 years..... undercarriage was completely gone.) and all the kittens came in to watch. The positioned themselves all around us.... and watched.... and meowed back an forth at each other. My brother and I theorized that they were discussing if they could take one of us.... after all, one of us would keep them fed nicely for a day or three, till we started to stink too bad.....

We exported cats the following weekend. Got all but two. One we wanted to keep, and the other, we simply couldn't catch.... well, another week or three goes by, and it's time to pull my one-ton chevy truck into the garage, to yank the motor..... opened the door, and much to my surprise, a cat jumped out, and ran off..... leaving behind her five kittens......

Dammit! Didn't we just deal with this???? Ah well. So, wait for the cat to go back into the truck, thump hard on a door, so she jumps out into the bag we had waiting for her by the rear slider..... and then capture the kittens.... They weren't thrilled.....

All the cats ended up at a friend of mines farm. He did NOT have mouse problems for quite a while.

 

Well guys I have not been online for a little while, so about time I got back on LOL! Only have time tonight to check out this thread and post this... Then gotta clean house. BIG NEWS! We got our first 1 ton dually. More later. Super powerful smooth riding.
