                   Once upon a time there was a tavern
                   Where we used to raise a glass or two
                   Remember how we laughed away the hours
                   And think of all the great things we would do
                   
                   Those were the days, my friend
                   We thought they'd never end
                   We'd sing and dance forever and a day
                   We'd live the life we choose
                   We'd fight and never lose
                   For we were young and sure to have our way
                   
                   Then the busy years went rushing by us
                   We lost our starry notions on the way
                   If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
                   We'd smile at one another and we'd say
                   
                   Those were the days, my friend
                   We thought they'd never end
                   We'd sing and dance forever and a day
                   We'd live the life we choose
                   We'd fight and never lose
                   Those were the days
                   Oh, yes, those were the days
                   
                   Those were the days, my friend
                   We thought they'd never end
                   We'd sing and dance forever and a day
                   We'd live the life we choose

                   Oh, yes, those were the days
                   
                   Through the door there came familiar laughter
                   I saw your face and heard you call my name
                   Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
                   For in our hearts the dreams are still the same...
                   
                   Those were the days, my friend

    Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend.
    
    "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
    
    "I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes," replies Watson.
    
    "And what do you deduce from that?"
    
    Watson ponders for a minute.
    
    "Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?"
    
    Holmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you idiot!" he says. "Someone stole our tent!"

                I don't mind if ppl share their opinions, as long as they are respectful. What do I care if someone loves the right wing or the left? I can choose according to my beliefs and allow them theirs. I am always happy to talk about my belief in God, but thinking I could change someones heart would be a meaningless pursuit. I think it's a good thing to meet ppl where they're at and learn to love them for who they are despite our differences.

                                           Once an outdoor cat, always an outdoor cat. I really don't think I'd feel safe with him inside. And mangy is really the word for him. And fat, btw.
                                           
                                           And then there is the orange cat that comes by now and then. Got quite a show with that one. Another cat challenged him to a fight. It was interesting to see how a cat backs down from such. I could have had a utube, viral hit on my hands with that one.
                                           
                                           And then there was the time the bird got slaughtered. Didn't see which cat did it. Just saw all the bright, red blood and feathers all over the railing.
                                           
                                           It's a jungle out there...

                                              I've only ever kept one cat. A homeless Persian, she was really sweet and a bit daft. Still, these cats clearly seem to like you, PDS

    True slackerdom is an art form. I only clean/organize things enough to keep the place functional. Or, if it's something that I see everyday, I'll clean that for the feeling of luxury afterwards. Pretty much anything beyond that is not going to happen...

    My slackerdom is in true jeopardy. I have been productive multiple days in a row now. I am truly worried...
