POST # ONE HUNDRED AND SOMETHING

Day Three of Rocksee the cat vs. her new environment vs herself vs. me vs. the purpose of life's very existence itself. Very little progress to report. Other than a few nibbles of tuna here and a late night stealth mission upstairs to the litter box here (and I only know that b/c of the little puddle and foot steps in the sand) - Rocksee is still keeping mostly to herself. (If you call never coming out into the open whatsoever 'mostly,' then yes, mostly). However, she has discovered yet another out of sight but not out of house (and definitely not out of mind) fortress of solitude. Perched high atop the nightmare that is here now, tucked away snug between the ten inches of the bottom of the shelving and the top of the fridge - Rocksee sits and waits (for what, only no one knows). I came home today and at the advice of Katie, (who had come to my apartment earlier in the day to visit the cat) grabbed a chair, put it in front of the fridge, stood on it and pet the cat. I also tried to feed her tuna, dry food, treats and some water. I think I was giving it too much attention, b/c after a few minutes Rocksee bolted from her nest, jumped off the counter and ran straight under old faithful. Mr. Couch. There she remains as of now...check in again later some time soon in the future.

THE 1 THING I LEARNED TODAY

If you ride your bike in 4 completely different directions. You can tell exactly which way the wind is blowing. That is, if you're fairly good with directions.

TOP 7 BEST THINGS ABOUT CAMPING (in my opinion)

  • 1. Picking A Site (if there are any good ones left or any at all)
  • 2. Sleeping outside yet still really sleeping inside
  • 3. Smoke/Trees/Coolers Mosquitoes/Flashlights/Folding Chairs/Hot Dogs/Sand/Stars Sweatshirts/Swimming/Fried Fish/Air Mattresses/Good times
  • 4. Sitting at a picnic table, eating chips while reading a good book with a beer in hand, a fire being lit and a good nights sleep on the way.
  • 5. Drinking light beer all day so you don't have to stop drinking at all.
  • 6. The Drive There
  • 7. Going for a short walk around the campground with your g/f as smoke, laughter and song fill the air

TOP 7 FAVOURITE THINGS I PREFER TO DO WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY TIME

  • Ask the cat if he has any solid advice about mutual funds, or life in general
  • Call an equally bored friend in hopes of doing something fun together for as much time as possible or until one has to leave or doesn't want to hang out anymore
  • Wash the dishes. However, if there are not any dirty dishes, put the clean ones away. If there are no clean dishes to put away, make some dinner --- using the clean dishes you just put away

  • Stroke my beard
