It took my wife twelve years to talk me into a cat. Now we have a cat. Trash has doubled (cat box mostly) and Amazon sends me promotions for cat toys, litter, and cat food. sigh

But they’re sooo worth it @Auspicious! Ours brought a full sized live bird in the house yesterday - sneaked it in the back door; looks like an aviary in here, feathers everywhere. It did fly away, hope birdie makes it.

I used to be called “the cat lady” in college because I kept a stray in my dorm room.

From now on, I’m going to end every sentence with “plus a couple tigers.”

That cracked me up. Until I realized it is a fairly accurate representation of the guidance we have been given over the past four months.

My brother shared that when it first came out, and I worried not everyone would think it was funny.

When it first landed here, we sent it to reporters and “public officials”, hoping it would sharpen and improve their utterances.

@shrinkrap, like the “Birdman” of Alcatraz, you should be the tomato and pepper lady of Vacaville! As well, you’re in Covid prison, so…

After seeing tomatotomato’s comment:

“Tomatoes and chiles! Two of the happiest foods on earth.“

I couldn’t help but think maybe a homemade canned Ro*Tel? I know you love new projects.:slightly_smiling_face: A staple in the South.

Though I have always lived in northern climes, I love Ro*Tel too. My grocery store in Massachusetts (Market Basket) even carries it, which of course means I can never shop at a different supermarket chain aside from the occasional discreet dalliance (Wegman’s, Whole Foods).

RoTel wasn’t always available up North though I can find it now.

I have never seen Snap E Tom in the Eastern US. That I have yet to try.
