Cats - Understanding our 2nd Frest Bends - Volume 3

This is the third installment in the occasional series about understanding our 2nd Frest Bends, Kitty Cats. Whether you are a lover or a hater, if you watch them long enough, you'll get more laughs than a late night TV host.

Some cats will lick your shuttered eyes to wake you up. Others will simply jump on you. Then there are the gentle 'patters' like the one in the cartoon. They just lightly pat you on the nose until you finally wake up...and the best part, there's never a hint of claw!

Free Bob Kraft - Patriots Hall of Fame Owner Busted

Sad news in South Florida. Bob Kraft, Hall of Fame Owner of the Patriots, was accused in mid February, 2019, of seeking the services of a prostitute in Jupiter (Where both the Miami Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals have Spring Training.) Before commenting, I'd like to remind you that gambling was once illegal, as was the drinking of alcohol as well as homosexuality, I'd further remind you that prostitution is legal in some parts of the United States as is recreational marijuana. BTW Slavery used to be legal!

I thought that 'consenting adults' could do what they wish without threat of being arrested.
Is it only because money might be involved that it becomes a crime? If so this is another form of discrimination against women, because they are generally the recipients of the money in this type of transaction.

Bust Bob Kraft? Ridiculous!

and now for something completely different...…..

…….. here's some good news from Florida. Somebody stole an 85 year old guy's bike. He can't drive anymore and has to rely on the bicycle to get to the store and do other things of a similar nature. The policemen on the case couldn't find out who stole the bike, so they went to Walmart and bought the man a new bike. They brought it to him and even adjusted the seat for him. As a parting gift they also gave him a lock to prevent a further theft!

Homeless Man Wears Live Rattlesnake Nicklace in Jacksonville, Florida

An amazing, or amazingly lucky, homeless man paraded through downtown Jacksonville, FLA recently wearing

around his neck, a large rattlesnake for a scarf/good-luck charm. Several skittish onlookers called police.

From a distance of a good 20 feet the officers asked the man 'What the Hell are you doing"?

"I found the snake this morning and God told me it would be a good luck charm against getting hit by cars," he placidly informed the cops.

The snake rested quietly on the man's neck while he
spoke to the officers who freely admitted being scared to death of the rattler.

"Would you please put it in the back of the Police Cruiser," somebody asked politely.

The homeless man gently lifted the snake from
his shoulders and set it down on the back seat of the car until Animal Control came for it later.

A strange but true story out of Florida, Feb. 20, 2019.

The homeless man was not charged. He calmly went on his
way, probably to chum around with some alligators - even though the city is in the Northern part of the state, there are at least 272 alligators in town.

Here's the photo of the Animal Control Officer removing the snake from the cruiser. As you can plainly see, the Rattler is at least five or six feet long, maybe more!
