Above is a Cat without a Cat Lady. Does this mean some Lady is off having children and cleaning the house for her husband and is too busy to take care of this cat? Who is going to take care of the cats if Cat Ladies are shamed out of business? Certainly not the Man Men who are taking their well deserved rest in their Man Caves – after a hard day’s work supporting their wives and babies. You can reinforce whatever is going on, on or before November 5th. Remember though, somebody should feed the cat.

TIDBITS & MORE:
- There is no accounting for Tastes in group activities. Some people like to go to football games and other sporting events. Some like music venues: Rock ‘n Roll, Opera, Pop. Others like Tractor Pulls and Rodeos…some even like Trump Rallies. As we’ve said, there is no accounting for Tastes – or the lack, thereof.
- It was just a few years ago when some workers wanted to work from home and not have to go into the office…and many (mostly Tekkies) figured out how to do it and keep their jobs. Recently, I have noticed some top Executives (Who are not necessarily Tekkies) don’t want to go to the office, either. For example the new CEO of Starbucks (which is Seattle based) does not want to go up to Seattle – and is allowed to stay home in California and work remotely. In a twist on this subject, I saw where a “Management” moved its offices closer to where it wanted to be. To wit: The management of Boeing moved from Seattle to Arlington, Va. (aka near Washington, D.C. & the Congresspeople)…not near all that factory noise…Question: What is so bad about working in Seattle?
- OLD NOTE: In the 1980’s A&W tried to compete with McDonalds by selling a 1/3rd pounder for less than the Quarter Pounder…but it failed because most Americans thought a 1/3rd pounder was smaller than a Quarter Pounder. No studies have been made on who these people will vote for in the next election.
- I read that forty per cent of people in plane crashes were not wearing their shoes at the time of the crash. Does this mean when I am flying I should keep my shoes on? Will I improve my odds? Otherwise, what am I to do with this information?
- Historical Observations: If Form following Art has led to Form following Entertainment… has led to Form following “The Apprentice” …has lead to Form following FOX News…has led to Form following X, or Form following Crowd Sizes…. What will form follow next???
- More than 1/2 of U.S. Employers say weight loss drugs (i.e., Ozempic, Wegovy) are driving up health costs, nationally…prescription drugs are up 37% in the past decade…Medical debt is the largest cause of bankruptcy in the U.S….and ‘mental issues’ are costing corporations more than was ever anticipated. I don’t know what to say about this, except stop pounding down the Quarter Pounders, keep you shoes on while flying and don”t go on X.
- DOWNSIZE: FOR BIGGER PROFITS I realize the thieves no longer need to include a Safe Cracker and a ‘Wheel Man’ in their gang to do the robbery business. They can just suck the money out of your bank account with a click and a hack. It’s as simple as that. One or two Tekkies needed, at the most…to do the job.

A Few quotes:
- “Stay away from Toxic people.” -Maria Branyas Morera, world’s oldest person, 117, (recently deceased)…on giving advice on how to live a long life.
- “Because that’s where the money is.” -Willie Sutton in 1933 responding to the question; “Why do you rob banks?”…He stole over $3million over a 40 year robbery career. (often with an unloaded machine gun). Imagine what he could have done with one of today’s I-phones.
- “That’s all there is, there ain’t no more, Saint Peter said, as he closed the door.” -Line from African American Spiritual song, “Ain’t Gonna Grieve my Lord no more”
Until next week…and a fond “Hello” to Alice & Sonia wherever you are.
