Cat catastrophe

So yesterday was a really long day. After working all day I headed over to Hollister. First thing I noticed when I walked in was a note on my sisters computer that basically said, "I made pasta, you may help yourself." Score!! #nom #nom. Ok but first things first. Let the cats go outside in the backyard so they could go around sniffing things, changed their food, and just generally made sure everything was good.

I noticed the front yard seemed a little dry so I figured I'd water the bushes and stuff. So I turn on the hose and start spraying everything down. All of a sudden I hear something. I looked closer and there was this orange cat that had been laying there. It was trying to get up but was very ill and could barely move.

I ended up calling the Hollister police department. They were really nice and sent someone over quickly. The girl who came there then contacted Animal Control. Soon, Animal Control arrived, determined that the cat was definitely very ill and took the cat away. I felt so bad for the cat. They had to gather the cat in a net. But it was the only way of dealing with it unfortunately. I'm pretty sure the Animal Control ended up putting the cat to sleep so it doesn't suffer any longer.

And that's pretty much all I have to say about it.

Toshiba T6800C


I almost forgot, I was being bored and just checking stuff out and stumbled and stumbled across this ancient artifact. It's a Toshiba T6800C. I'm not sure about the specs on it, but I think it used to run Windows 3.11. It has a detachable trackball that goes on the side. Wow!

Three Day Weekend

It's a 3 day weekend and I have the day off (it's Friday). So last night packed up a bunch of stuff and headed over to Hollister. Didn't sleep so good last night (I can never sleep well in a different place) but I woke up early and got a lot done. Mowed the lawn, washed my Dad's truck because it has been just sitting there, did a bunch of laundry, ate at Togo's and generally had a pretty peaceful day.

Of course cats + new iPhone means more videos. One of these days I will video something other than just cats, but for now here's Daphne cat enjoying a perfect sunny morning in her backyard.

I wish the Internet was a little faster here. First of all I am spoiled on my 16mb Comcast cable. Now it's not only lowly DSL, but it's heavily attenuated to boot so I'm barely getting a downstream of 384k. I mean, even 384 wouldn't be bad but I think it's even beyond that bandwidth at this point. But that's ok, I'll survive. That's it for now!
