“I want ur deck,” reprised
A while back, I mentioned that someone had written “I want ur deck” on the window of our station wagon in a scrawl that was somewhat difficult to read. We don’t have a deck, so I was really puzzled.
At the time, various people suggested that the word might have been “duck.” We have poultry, after all. It now seems that the word might actually have been “dick.” We think this on account of the four foot long image of male genitalia we found spray painted on the hood of the same car this morning. There’s another one sprawled across two side windows of our van.
What the heck, vandals? Did we drive through a cloud of pheromones?

The inspector is here
“Musta done something wrong. There’s an inspector going into the work site.”
Grandpa Vehicle and his friend have been over here, helping us trim (ha, what an understatement) the English laurel that is threatening to take over the city starting with our yard and adjacent sidewalk.
The inspector, Porch Cat, is a local freelance feline. A Cat at Large. We think he is “owned” by someone in the neighborhood, but he doesn’t let that stop him from doing what needs to be done.

Yes, that’s a toilet.
This is what it is like to be me. (This view, I mean.)

The YouTube portion of the evening
We have reached the YouTube portion of the evening, and I am trapped under a baby AND a cat as we view episode after episode of the Lasagna Cat Tributes to John Davis.
At least this one is of professional interest. That’s what I say to console myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPEV9X0vgts

Feline hypnotism
It’s amazing how you can look down and suddenly discover that you are covered in cats, but have no memory of their climbing onto you.

Willow! I know this flies in the face of feline reason, which tells us that the Old Cat is the Boss of Everything and should therefore overrule natural laws, but if you walk under the operating baby swing, it WILL hit you. Hey! No, really!
There, see?
Ah. Wet food is the cure for baby swing insults and injuries, is it? (Sigh.)
Okay, you win.
Talk to your child
Having been informed recently that it is important to talk to your child, regardless of what exactly you say, Papa Bird has now spent a fair amount of time reading to Monster Hands from Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiment.
