Charlie and Tiny. Not from the same litter, but absolutely inseparable. Charlie had a seizure and sudden death. Tiny looked for him for two weeks before she accepted that he was no longer there.

I'm going to share photos of the many cats we've had. Peanuts, a tortilla that I rescued from a ditch after her mother abandoned her. Lovely girl, but incredibly mischievous. We had her about 6 years. She was only a few weeks old when I found her.

This was always my mother's favorite photo of me. I discovered it among her personal things at the nursing home after she died. Notice the resemblance to Audie Murphy. I was sometimes called Audie. I discovered that I am a cousin to Audie Murphy.

Yes, of course. Tiny is already gone. I still need to find a home for Pheefee.

I have one more inside cat. She's difficult to catch and caused my 3 falls today. I can't put her with the SPCA now because they are full. She's 2 years old, not spayed, has had one litter of 4 kittens. Pheefee.

This is my baby I surrendered to the SPCA today because I can't take care of my cats. Charlotte and I have had Tiny 9 years. She was born in our garage in 2016 and spade as soon as possible. We're the only home She has known. I just had to do it for her sake. Of course it was hard.

Here is Dee Smith of Weeze's Cafe with his friend Johnny as "The Blues Brothers." I was the photographer/artist. I photographed them against an ugly wall in Weeze's Cafe and then I created the background.

Yes, especially people like Ron Adams who was the best Santa Claus ever. Ron and I kidded each other hard, too. Every year, I asked, "Where's my pony?" He'd shout back, "You don't deserve a pony!" Guess what I did one year.

I've had several MRIs. One after the car crash that almost killed me. One after I had a psychotic episode caused by an overfilled bladder. They aren't routinely administered. Of course, im not the president.

I was in a nearly fatal car accident. When the first rescuer got to me, he asked, "Are you alright?" I replied, "I can't get out of the car and I was on my way to Sonic to get Charlotte a hamburger. Would you take my wallet and go get it for her?" I handed him all my credit cards.
