Sometimes It’s The Little Things

Posted on by

I was standing next to my truck at work today, waiting to talk to an Overhead Crane technitian about a problem we were having with one of the 16 freaking overhead cranes we have when this little guy landed on the fiberglass cover on the bed, right next to my phone.

The little dude came out of nowhere and just decided to take a break I guess.

He didn’t even budge when I reached over and grabbed my phone to take this picture.

He just sat there for a minute then decided it was time to go. He opened up his wings, took off into the air and shortly disappeared amongst all the railroad cars in the yard next to the plant.

Not worried about politics, the surveillance state or boys thinking they are girls.

Just where he is going to find his next meal and where he is going to sleep tonight.

Maybe trying to find a mate and make some babies along the way.

Just as nature intended.

It was one of those rare moments that made me just glad to be alive so I could enjoy the moment and forget about all the bullshit for a second.

Our two formerly-feral cats, Spot and Scruffy. They showed up from no one knows where, decided they liked it here, and stayed.

Spot & Scruffy.

Phil, the enlightened one,

This is our cat Sweetie. 7 years old and has no teeth. All she lives for is eating.  Every time anyone moves she takes off for the kitchen thinking someone is going to give her treats. You can see the disappointment on her face when I got up and took this picture.

Sweetie.

Cederq,

Nora, she was a foster kitty, my sister in law’s friend had to move back east to take care of an aging parent and asked if I could watch her for a few months. Well, since that time this friend is staying permanently so she gave Nora to me. Nora, a tortoise shell is two years old, full of piss and vinegar and I have the scratches to prove it. I wasn’t looking for a kitty after Guido passed away, another Chihuahua or a little larger breed of dog. Sometimes you don’t get to pick your pet, it picks you. She is a bed robbing, cuddle queen.

Nora.
Cat tree my brother and me built for less than $50 bucks. Nora loves it!

Eric, my brother’s Pit and Basset hound mix, Jeni, 11 years old.

The Absolute Garbage I See On Twitter

IDGAF, I ain’t calling it X.

This kind of shit is why I spend very little time there anyway.

Don’t even get me started on the endless engagement farming horse shit. About every second page has some bullshit like,

“Do You Support The Current Thing?”

Or, “I follow back all patriots”.

“Follow me and I’ll follow you back!”

It’s just endless inane crap and I honestly don’t know why I even bother anymore.

I used to be able to find newsworthy shit or some funny memes and things but now it is just garbage.

Fuck it.
