Take Me To Your Feeder

7/2 is World UFO Day, and some of us believe that cats are from outer space, so...
7/2/1924 is the date of the UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico.

Bonne Fête du Canada

Canada Day, formerly known as Dominion Day, is the national day of Canada. 

A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867,


I'm so bad, I vacation in Canada even though I'm American, and the Canadians didn't try to kick me out!

Hahaha.

I was born and raised in Metro Detroit, and since Canada Day is July 1 and Independence Day is July 4, there is an annual fireworks display on the Detroit River so both Detroiters and Windorites could celebrate together on either side.

Plus, we Michiganians could tune into Canadian radio and television, so I grew up watching hockey, and singing along to O Canada.

American TV didn't cover NHL Hockey back then very much.

Where Eastside Cats is located on a map shows that we are actually NORTH of parts of Ontario.

Yes, we are NORTH OF CANADA.

*smug mode*

We have the highest respect for our Canadian neighbors, because we've always felt we were simply two sides of the same coin.

Good on ya, Canada!

Mugging

 It's PO'Monday!

Enjoy the two-minute slideshow below; all images snapped of Celestial Paddy O'Malley on June 18, 2016.

What a goof, and you'll smile...I guarantee it.

He loved to mug for the camera.


AT LAST!

The end of June is Audiobook Month.

Am an audiobook aficionado; every one listed this month is an audiobook that I've listened to.

I recommend these stand-alone novels, written by women:

Objects of My Affection by Jill Smolinski, narrated by Xe Sands (2012)

The Haunting of Maddy Clare by Simone St. James, narrated by Billie Fulford-Brown (2012)

The Woman In Black by Susan Hill, narrated by Paul Ansdell (2001)

And When She Was Good by Laura Lippman, narrated by Linda Emond (2012)
