Edith is/was a feral cat born in May of 2025. She was hanging around after her mom and the other feral cats we had hanging around left (they are still around just not around our house). It was pretty cold outside during January and we decided to coax her inside the house. She and our other cats get along fabulously.
Been awhile since I did an update. I’ve been traveling which is always a good time to get some reading done. Let’s see what we got:
All of the above books were pretty good. Number 1 and 2 are Westerns and rest vary on subject matter.
Everything is Tuberculosis was the book that I learned a lot from. I didn’t know that tuberculosis was so prevalent.
We’ve had Koi since September 2024 (Sept. 4th to be exact). The only way I can describe her is joyful.
I’m heading off on a week’s vacation and looking forward to it. Hoping to be able to get a jump on this year’s book list. I’ve got quite a few candidates which I’ll list out later.
This is the ninth book in the ‘Slow Horses’ series. I enjoyed it but it is not as good as the others in the series.
Another Craig Johnson book. Love his style of writing and I enjoyed the story.
Note that the cover is wrong. Netflix dropped the show and Paramount picked it up.
The Italian campaign was just absolutely brutal. This book outlines this up until the capture of Rome. The fight for Cassino was just two forces bashing their heads together with the resulting casualties. Terrible.
This came up because I won the NCAA tourney bracket with the boys in 2024. Still applies…
I enjoyed this one. I knew that the drawdown of American forces after World War II was extreme but not this extreme. Also; what was MacArthur thinking in allowing forces to go up to the Yalu?!
We’ve got an old Ultracade Arcade Legends cabinet that died a few years ago. These are old (2005 is this machines vintage I think) PC based machines with a CRT in a really nice cabinet. When I got it I also got the installation CD, USB stick and the manual.
I couldn’t find those items for the life of me. Looked everywhere… except the place where they were actually filed away….god forbid…even organized.
I think it’s just the hard drive that needs replacing. I’ll see if I can get a solid state stick and use that too get this thing up and running again.
