This is a happy cat.  It is not the stray that lives under my old motor home, but looks just like it except the cat that likes my front porch, the shade of the vehicle, and the birds it tries to catch, is a very thin cat.  Today that cat is a little happier.  I gave it an almost full can of spam.  The cat ate until I thought it would burst.

I have mentioned before that that cats are frequently abandoned from renters and the section 8 housing around the corner.  At one time I bought cat food for the few cats that showed up on my property.  Now, I put out what I have and Spam is what was in the refrigerator.   I don't like Spam, but once in a while I will open a can if I don't want to cook.  The cat loved the Spam and to my mind it is the next best thing to cat food.  Spam is like offal...er...I mean awful.  If you knew what it was made of and how it was made...you would call it offal, too.  I will eat it rather than starve.

We got a lot of rain.  It started getting dark Sunday afternoon and then the wind began to stir.  Around 6 PM the rains came.  It was not a violent storm, but the rain a good soaker.  It rained on and off through the night and into this morning.  It cooled down to 68 degrees overnight.  It isn't all that hot today, but oh, is it humid.  One good thing about the rain and humidity is that it will dampen the fireworks  and drinking a little bit.  It looks like rain for most of the week and hotalot-a new word for-hot a lot.

I spent a few hours cleaning up my old Dell computer by defragging, correcting errors, and registry errors.  Hope to have it as a backup for a long time "though it is a bit slow.  Even the speed is better now.

The cat didn't come back to finish what was left of its spam dinner.  It is probably sleeping it off somewhere.  Drunk on Spam?

I didn't work outside at all.  The ground is wet.  The woman next door mowed her wet grass; a good way to clog a mower.  Well, she didn't need to mow much as her back yard is about the size of a small drive way.  I doubt that you could park two cars there,  They also have  long access area that they use as a dog run.  It could be used as an off street parking driveway. The grass there is getting high and needs to be cut.  You can't buy a house here unless it has an access to the back ally because that is where the trash pick up takes place.  Or it is all over the place due to stray cats.  Cats gotta eat, too!
