There was a story in a British newspaper about an incident in the United States. A young mother was watching a competition show when she realized her house was on fire. Only, her little son had already realized it and called 911. Mother and son were both fine after firefighters arrived. The article hailed the child as a hero, with this headline, "America's tot gallant."

What if the punk band H2O and the Christian band Bleach tried to join forces? There would probably be a lot of disagreement without any solution. Clearly, the best thing to do would be to dissolve.

I do love a bad pun, Tim -- and you are the master of that!

While listening to some vinyl just now, John suggested this idea and I came up with the lyrics (Tiny Pence is our very small adult cat, btw).
The Tiny Pence (a parody of The Mighty Quinn)
Cancel all the doubt, calm all the suspense
come and adore the Tiny Pence
Cancel all the doubt, calm all the suspense
come and adore the Tiny Pence
Everybody's down in the dumps
their patience is wearing thin
stockings filled with coal lumps
the world no longer makes sense
every day and night
but when they all see Tiny Pence
everything's gonna be alright!
Cancel all the doubt, calm all the suspense
come and adore the Tiny Pence
She's the best little girl, she's so sweet
but sugar's not her favorite taste
salmon's her sup of meat
Every cat's running round trying to smell the other
but when Tiny Pence gets here
there will not be another
Cancel all the doubt, calm all the suspense
come and adore the Tiny Pence
Cancel all the doubt, calm all the suspense
come and adore the Tiny Pence
Let her hide where she wants to, curled up in a ball
just find her and put her up, before we feed 'em all
she can't get no sleep when it's storming
outside
but when Tiny Pence purrs everybody's happy
inside
Cancel all the doubt, calm all the suspense
come and adore the Tiny Pence
Cancel all the doubt, calm all the suspense
come and adore the Tiny Pence
Cancel all the doubt, calm all the suspense
come and adore the Tiny Pence
Cancel all the doubt, calm all the suspense
come and adore the Tiny Pence

Well, we were listening to the 45 of Manfred Mann's cover of 'Mighty Quinn' and I was asking what in the world inspired Dylan to write that???! Then, I told Tim 'The Mighty Pence' would be a good song! 30 minutes later, Tim emailed me the above!

Love the song, Tim. And it's so true. The cats do expect to be adored...but they give us so many reasons to adore them!

Things seem to be getting rough for the Donald. Even a member of his campaign band defected. Yep, one less Trumpeter blowing hot air.

I dabbled in Facebook some in the last week by hijacking my brother Tim's account. It was fun for awhile, and I made some good contacts. But I saw all the forms of narcissism that I expected and that was even through the prism of Tim's friends who are pretty thoughtful really. I was a poli sci major and surprisingly don't like to discuss the topic with anyone but maybe Tim, but when you see inane and clueless comments, you get tempted to post on FB. I am just not a divisive person, though, but there is one strong urge that I find hard to contain. I'll never do twitter but maybe reposting this gives the same thrill as retweeting does there. And, maybe this time it is more apropos than before!
