Cat Box Happenings – The banal part of this entry is that we’ve replaced almost all of the inside cat boxes with the newer stainless steel versions that are all the rage. Mostly because we really liked the bigger boxes upstairs because they line up flush against the wall. Opens up the walkways.

That really isn’t the point of this particular entry. During the replacing, there were some messes that required mopping. Of course, we get all that done and sit down to relax. After a bit, The Wife asks where Freya, our youngest cat, is. The little mischief maker is usually hanging around with us. Then came the small squeaks. It took us a moment, but we discovered the issue. Poor little Freya managed to get herself locked up in the hall closet. Curiosity didn’t kill the cat, but it did manage to put the cat into time-out for a couple of hours.

Office Happenings – The day job informed my team that they were “consolidating” us because another service was invading – I mean, returning to the office – in our office building. This meant, instead of us having our own offices, we were going to have to shared offices. Don’t get me wrong. Our team has been very lucky having our own offices for as long as we have. And it’s not like we’re being thrown into a cube farm. Still, after having my own office for fifteen years, it’s going to be odd sharing with someone else.

Wildlife Happenings – It’s that time of the year in Florida when the gators are getting more active. We generally have one in the pond out back. Not sure if it’s the same one year to year, but we generally see one around this time. This year, we have a big one. We usually see it on the other side of the pond, but I got some good pics when it decided to sun on our side.

There’s more than one reason I keep a loaded carbine.
