• YESTERDAY WAS FATHERS DAY AND IT WAS NICE FOR ME ANYWAY.  UNFORTUNATELY, BRIAN HAD TO SPEND THE MAJORITY OF THE AFTERNOON PREPARING FOR A MIDTERM THAT WAS THIS EVENING.  HE FELT GOOD ABOUT IT SO HOPEFULLY THE TIME SPENT WAS WORTH IT.  SERRA GAVE HIM AN ENGRAVED PEN THAT READS B.BURTON ANDERSON, FATHER EXTRAORDINAIRE, A SUMMER OUTFIT, AND A CONTAINER TO HOLD SOME CHURCH TREATS OF HIS OWN SO HE STOPS EATING ALL OF HERS EVERY WEEK. 

  
  

  DAD AND I SANG PARTS IN THE FATHERS DAY PROGRAM AND LUCKILY FOR ME IT WAS AN ALTO PART.  I HAVE FOUND THE LOWER RANGE MUCH MORE TO MY LIKING LATELY. 

  
  

  IT WAS FUN TO HAVE THE CAMARILLO ADDITION UP FOR THE AFTERNOON.  JACOB DECIDED HE WANTED TO GO DOWNSTAIRS AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK UP SAYING THE CAT WAS THERE.  JACOB HAS NOT BEEN FOND OF THE CAT BECAUSE IT HAS SCRATCHED AND BITTEN HIM ON OCCASION.  LIESL ASKED HIM IF THE KITTY WAS SLEEPING OR WALKING.  HE REPLIED THAT IT WAS SLEEPING RIGHT THERE, AND HE POINTED UNDER THE DECK.  KATRINA CAME OVER AND NONCHALANTLY SAID “OH YEAH, THE CAT IS DEAD, RIGHT THERE.”  SHE HAD SEEN IT BEFORE BUT FIGURED WE ALL KNEW ABOUT IT SINCE WE HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE CAT GOING MISSING AND DECIDED THAT IT HAD REACHED IT’S DEMISE.  IT’S A GOOD THING THEY ARE SHORT AND COULD SEE THE CAT AS THE DAYS HAVE STARTED TO HEAT UP.  DAVID AND DALLAS TOOK CARE OF MOO AND HER FINAL RESTING PLACE IS NEAR BELA.  IT IS SAD THOUGH THAT HE HAD TO SUFFER A PAINFUL DEATH.  I GUESS MOO, KITTY, BELA, AND CUBBY ARE RUNNING TOGETHER THROUGH THE FIELDS IN THE GREAT BEYOND WITHOUT THE WORRY OF GETTING EATEN BY COYOTES.  MOM SURPRISINGLY SAID WHEN THE GARAGE IS EMPTY AGAIN SHE WOULDN’T MIND GETTING ANOTHER KITTEN SO THERE IS A MOUSER AROUND. 

  
  

  TODAY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT ACCIDENT.  A LADY PARKED BEHIND ME ENOUGH THAT I COULDN’T SEE HER WHEN I GLANCED OVER MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND DIDN’T PICK UP ON HER BEING SO CLOSE WHEN LOOKING IN MY MIRROR.  SHE WAS NOT PARKED LEGALLY, BUT I HIT HER.  I WAITED FOR HER TO COME OUT AND SHE FREAKED OUT ABOUT THOSE “DARN SUV’S”.  I SNAPPED AT HER I’M AFRAID, LETTING HER KNOW THAT IF YOU PARK BEHIND SOMEONE IT DOESN’T MATTER IF IT IS AN SUV OR NOT, IF IT HITS YOU YOUR CAR IS GOING TO GET DENTED.  MY CAR DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A SCRATCH ON IT.  MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT IN THE CAR IT FALLS UNDER PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WE HAVE NO DEDUCT ABLE FOR THAT.  I DON’T KNOW IF SHE WILL FILE A CLAIM OR NOT.  SHE CALLED ME LATER AND WANTED ME TO JUST PAY FOR IT WITHOUT GETTING THE INSURANCE INVOLVED BUT I DON’T THINK MY INSURANCE IS GOING TO BEND OVER AND PAY WITH HER BEING AT LEAST AS MUCH OR MORE AT FAULT THAN I.  I THINK I WILL JUST LET THE INSURANCE DEAL WITH IT.

  
  

  ANYWAY IT MADE FOR A ROTTEN AFTERNOON. 

  
  

  HAPPIER TIMES BELOW.  THIS WAS AT SHANNON FALLS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, AND I THINK ONE OF THE LAST PICTURES OF MOOCAT, GETTIN’ SOME LOVIN’ BY THE VEEE.
