Cats are indeed funny creatures. We’ve taken in many over the years -- those that were strays, feral, or hurt -- but Jack Tatum has been around the longest.He’s also the oddest of the bunch. I could figure out what the others were thinking, more or less, but not this one. And he’s definitely Mrs Sven’s cat.
Happy Chipmunk Caturday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven, and Mac!
It’s been raining every weekend for quite a while and the lawns have been looking worthy of an HOA violation (no, we don’t belong to an HOA). I managed to get the front lawn mowed yesterday evening, so that’s something.
There is a distinction. The drones we use have very advanced sensor and communications gear. They can carry and launch missiles or bombs, but then return. They are extremely expensive and have classified equipment. There are also drones intended to carry a warhead to a target and crash into it. I think the Ukrainians are using these to target Russian tanks. I would expect the Iranian drones are the latter type and are intended as one way carriers.
It’s the weekend, boys -- YEAH!

I look forward to these cat knowledge gems, Mac. Thanks!
When I saw it I knew I had to save it for you.

Waiting on the rain here too, Paddy. Today and then a break and then more tomorrow.
The rain has been delayed a bit, so I managed to get the backyard mowed. I’ll run off to Trader Joe’s in a bit.
Good morning, Paddy.
So here we go -- Iran and Israel. Thank God we got Brandon in charge over here.
I’m sure Israel is resting easy, knowing that Brandon is in charge.
How can a piece of equipment be a “suicide” weapon? Is the drone operator killed too when the drone is destroyed? That would be kinda cool.
Sorry to be thick, is this rhetorical?
Sounds like more ignorant reporting. Would that make missiles “one-way suicide missiles”? What about RPGs? How about bullets?
I was just being snarky. I blame the cat, but yeah, that’s how several media reports characterized the drone strikes.

Not too surprising. No it’s surprising and a lie!!! It’s SCIENCE! It’s SLANDER! Meow.

Does the risk increase with the number of cats?
Let me ask my Magic 8 Ball. Yes.
Only cats are selfless and caring enough to find, stay with, and look after, mentally ill humans.
OK, even I can’t say that with a straight face.
