I saw the saddest thing today.
A neighborhood feral cat eating birdseed I had thrown out to my front yard.
And yes, I feed the cats too.

Australia now generates so much midday solar power that it plans to offer free electricity during peak sunshine hours, reflecting the country’s rapid shift from coal to renewables—cutting emissions, improving air quality, and helping curb climate-driven heat and wildfire risks.

Happy 11th Birthday to Jo Jo!
She's only been with me for 3-1/2 years but feels so much longer.
This is my favorite picture of her.

So as usual, like every Thurs evening, after dinner I collected all the trash & recycling, put it in the bins & took it to the curb. As I was readying myself for bed, I grabbed the tablet to go thru emails and saw that it was Weds
I realized I am now senile and all the neighbors will know it too :)
