Purr Increase

It's Inside and Even Less Feral Friday! 

The humans are so happy in Henryville, as some milestones have been reached:

1) Henry allows petting while sitting on the rug, as I walk up to him.

2) Henry has been combed and brushed.

3) Henry has been smooched on the noggin!!!

However, he's made it very clear that he dislikes the swishing noise of our winter puffy coats.

🧥 🥶 😼

As I type this, he's sitting at my feet, alternately rubbed against my shins and meowing for attention.

And he just licked my hand, as I reached down to give him some love.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 

So, it has come to this!

Every once in a while, I must give kudos to folks on social media who have the same twisted sense of humor as I do, 'cause they make me laugh!

Maple Syrup Day & Wright Brothers Day

December 17 is National Maple Syrup Day.

"The Northeastern U.S Indigenous Peoples are noted for inventing maple syrup. They created the method of tapping trees, know as Maple Tapping, along with the process of boiling the sap down into syrup. 

This technique is traditionally done by inserting a small spigot into the trunk of a maple tree and collecting the extract in a container.

December 17 is also Wright Brother's Day:

The USAF Thunderbirds put on show in the summer of 2017 at Selfridge A. N. G. B. Video taken from our front porch; those jets were LOUD!

"Wright Brothers Day is a United States national observation...and commemorates the first successful flights in a heavier-than-air, mechanically propelled airplane, the Wright Flyer, that were made by Orville and Wilbur Wright on December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina."

Near Mount Clemens, Michigan, where Eastside Cats reside, Selfridge Air National Guard Base plays a big role in our area.

Named for 1st Lieutenant Thomas E. Selfridge, the first person to be killed in a crash of a powered aircraft.  Also injured was Orville Wright, which is why I posted about our base to celebrate today.
