The Kittens Like Playing In Water

Last night I was planning on giving the kittens we found outside a flea bath. I was expecting an ordeal. I ran a couple of inches of water into the bath tub and went looking for the shampoo. A few minutes later, my wife shouts for me to come look at something. This is what she found--the kittens slopping around in the water! I have never in all the years of having cats, had one that willingly went into any amount of water. The photo isn't a very good one since I didn't want to distract them too much. A captured some video that I will post in the near future.

I never did give them baths since I couldn't find the shampoo. I'll have to see how they react to being really wet another day.

Tuxy use to like to play with the bubbles when he was a kitten. I have given him baths and he doesn't really fit it.

Cassie screams bloody murder when I would give her a bath, I never gave her one again.

Carly once jumped in the bath tub when she was a tiny kitten. It was a good thing I was there! Carly always got a bath. She didn't like them but it was necessary in her case.

A Completely Made Up, Fantastical Biography of George David Darrow (1861-1925)

Born in the spring of 1861 in a modest East Anglian village on the wooded edges of Bury St. Edmunds, George David Darrow was the son of a gardener and a washerwoman. A solitary child, Darrow showed early signs of a vivid inner world, sketching woodland creatures and imagined spirits on sheets of whatever scrap paper he could find, much of which smelled of fish or meat that the paper had once wrapped. His youth was shaped by the rhythms of rural life and long hours exploring hedgerows, brooks, and ancient groves. Possessed of a quiet, observant nature and an innate gift for drawing, Darrow taught himself the principles of line and light by sketching the creatures and foliage around him. His Father, Henry Darrow, disapproved of his son’s obsession with woodlarking and hoped that his son would take up a respectable trade. As a young teenager, George was apprenticed to a local stone mason, but his tenure didn’t last the summer. George was found to be carving mysterious symbols into the lim...

I did this one with colored pencil but wasn't real happy with it. I put a Photoshop filter on to liven it up some. I'll probably do it again so I can get it right.

A Mention In The Independent

Too bad I stumbled upon an email from The Independent's Tehran correspondent, Angus McDowall too late. The email ended up in my Yahoo email which I only use as a spam trap. An article was published today about the Iranian public's ho-hum reaction to the "Holocaust" cartoon exhibition. I was pleased to see that I was treated fairly. "The cartoons included US, European, Brazilian, Korean and Chinese entries. However, the US cartoonist David Baldinger said that his drawing "in no way ridiculed the Holocaust". It is best to let people determine what is propaganda and what is not. Most of the time intelligent people know the difference. Sane people, I would think, don't place value on government statements refuting the Jewish Holocaust's historical fact. I doubt Iranian president Ahmadinejad even believes his statements. He is engaging in what I would call "political mooning". A bare ass sticking in the world's face gets a lot of atten...
