#Caturday update about Cato. The formerly feral feline is now a lap cat. He knows his name. He comes when he's called -- usually. He's fully integrated into the household. And he's motivated by food and affection. And shows no interest in going back outside.

I don't know, man. I think Jimmy Page has finally run out of ways to repackage the band's back catalog. I mean, what are you even supposed to play these on?

Last four campaign #YardSigns from my neighborhood, I swear. Maybe.
For non #Minnesotans, that bird is called Laser Loon, and Ilhan Omar represents the state's 5th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Many yards, many #YardSigns. Two versions of the Dictator or Democracy sign. One with a Harris for President bumper sticker added on.

This house house has lots of #YardSigns. Here's a representative sampling.
Gotta say that the cutout of TFG sign is clever.

Time for more #campaign #YardSigns from my neighborhood. This features the hashtag #VoteRuthless which I haven't seen on Mastodon before. It has illustrations of Kamala Harris on one and Tim Walz on the other.

#VoteBlue #VoteBlue2024 #VoteBlueDownBallot #KamalaHarris #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy #Harris2024 #KamalaHarris2024 #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy

This is the 3rd #CatsForKamala themed yard sign I've seen in my neighborhood. Gotta love the #CoachWalz catch phrase: Mind your own damn business. And those sunglasses, are they a nod to #JoeBiden, perhaps. Maybe it's just a cool 😎 #cat. It does want you to #Vote for #HarrisWalz. Happy #Caturday!

More neighborhood campaign yard signs. I like that the #HarrisWalz one includes an American flag. Patriotism does not belong to #cristofascists and #RightWingNutJobs. The Spanish language sign, at the very least, is a #NeverTrumper. See alt text for translation. Apologies to senor Herrera for my poor recollection of junior high Spanish. Also, that first word I learned from #CheechAndChong anyway.

#silentsunday Sure enough.I put the snow shovels and roof rake back in the garage last weekend, and today it snows. Bear in mind that we had 2 or 3 record-high temperature days in the upper 80s between then and now.
