The Hubby and I usually visit a local fireworks display, although every year I wish the municipalities would consider silent fireworks.

Fireworks also are very polluting; the chemicals used, the smoke that fills the air, and I'm sure the folks who light the wicks don't escape the process unscathed.

In addition, although we've enjoyed a vegetable-based diet for many years, there is one fascinating July 4th contest held every year that we've watched on television:

The Famous Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest!

This year, the event will be held indoors.

Trust me, it's ain't pretty, and you may not be able to watch the 100% contest without wanted to heave your own cookies, but in a weird, fascinating way, the contestants make it a worthwhile competition!

Cats Are Aliens...Don't Read This Post, Cat Chat!

Cat Chat With Caren And Cody was concerned when I showed off The Cat Car's Meow magnet after my Mee-owww! post two weeks ago.  There was worry that I would begin to cover my vehicle with all manner of 'crazy cat person' items, making me a target of foolish people as I maneuver 'round the streets of Metro Detroit.

Cool, man!

Peace!

Cats are from outer space, after all!

So, here is my warning...more magnets have already been purchased!  The peace sign was The Hubby's idea; he ALWAYS kids me about being a 'hippie-wannabe'.  He, of course, was the real deal, such as not wearing shoes for an entire summer!

And, if you know me at all, you know that I believe that cats are from outer space, 'cause that's the ONLY way to explain what they do.  I also have a bumper sticker that reads: "Wear Your Seatbelt!  It Makes it Harder for the Aliens to Suck You Out of Your Car!", which was purchased in Roswell, New Mexico.  Yes, I visited the very epicenter of UFO/alien phenomena.

Aliens and Cats...they are the same thing, in my book

P.S. I am just kidding, Caren and Cody!

Sidewalk Art

Isn't this adorable?

Here's the model for the chalk drawing

"Live-Kind-Life-Dream-Smile-Peace-Hope-Love"

There are some talented sidewalk chalk artists near me!  I found these recently, and they make me feel more positive about the talents of today's youth.  Express yourselves, kiddies...and love your cats too!
