I farm for post/reply likes, not followers.

I vet followers. Heavy on blocking. If you have fewer than 10 posts and hundreds of followers, I will block you.

And I also frequently report toxic replies to moderation.
I forgot to post my aurora photo!

Here you go! Trying for Leonids tonight.

Northern lights in the Twin Cities West Metro

Amazing we could see this despite light pollution. Thank you IPhone for creating more detail!

John Jota Leanos painted this in the twenty teens. Can’t get the Mac to do the squiggle over the n.

Now we have Magick and daughter Una. Probably the last generation of kitties.

Pyewacket III. Had PW I as a child and she lived 18 years.

Pyewacket II and Pyewacket III made it to 15.

I caught this curious one on my patio a few years ago.

This is the daughter. She self-regulates, but then Mother swoops in and eats the leftovers.

I had siamese for years that free-fed, no problem. THIS one can't pass a dish with kibble in it without grabbing a mouthful. She gained 3 lbs in a year. I installed auto-feeder and she went down to her usual nine. Then we adopted her daughter and had to have TWO auto-feeders set well apart.

My brothers got that. I got a fucking Easy Bake Oven.

Although, Mattel eventually came up with Incredible Edibles.

Which were not very tasty.

Magick, who is also a wonderful kitty except for her habit of furniture shredding (better now Una is with us as Magick is sort of afraid of Una.)

For those of you adopting more standoffish kitties, I waited 2 months with zero lap time and suddenly got THIS out of the blue and now every time I watch TV or read.

Dang.

I moved to this from this!

It's gonna be 94 degrees and humid here in the Twin Cities today and tomorrow. But, gladly, back into the 70's next week.

PS I hated Houston. The flooding. The year long heat and humidity. The people were a mixed bag. As they are here in the Twin Cities.

We've got a major HR situation here in Minnesota yesterday.

Um, things are out of control everywhere I guess.

We removed ours this winter. I only wish we had pool service guys around here.

Sorta tortie. Mix of full bread siamese and flame point. What is it with these interesting nose markings?

My cats, awaiting 5:30 pm feeding. Mother and daughter. Mother retired from breeding, daughter was retained as a failed flame point/seal point siamese mix. Got daughter 3 years after mother.

Scene of the crime. I should have got the photo before I righted the auto-dry feeder.

Criminals in sight.
