Goodbye White Girl, Gabby and Napoleon. Severe Thunderstorms Again Hit Valley.

Last unfixed adult cat from Hill people colony near Lebanon. She was fixed Tuesday.
Today, the only cat I took up was another trapped at the Albany business. She is all black and was in early pregnancy. She was fixed today.

I took white mom and the two kittens to the neighbor over there who will foster the kittens. To my immense relief and happiness, they expressed their intent to keep White Girl for good. No more will she have to scrounge, deaf and mostly blind, unwanted for food. When they said this, I almost fell to my knees and sobbed.

On the way over there, I encountered a Weed Man truck that was wildly swerving, unable to maintain its lane. I thought he was going to turn right on Geary. He must have thought so, too, then changed his impaired mind and nearly hit the far corner of Geary and Santiam before continuing his wild uncontrolled drive down Santiam.

I have no cell phone. I was fearful, thinking he would smash me. He's swerve, speeed up, slow down, almost hit the curb, swerve again. He pulled up beside me. I honked loudly and motioned to get off the road, yelling "Get off the road before you kill someone." He turned into the Fred Meyer parking lot. When I got to the sisters' place, a few minutes later, I called the police from there. I don't know if they found him. I don't know if he was drunk or having some medical emergency, but he didn't belong on the road. He was in a Weed Man truck with a tank, probably full of toxic chemicals, on the back, too.

So I said my goodbyes to White Girl, Gabby and Napoleon. They're in good hands.


White Girl looks a little rough after eye surgery. She has a bit swelling, and her face had to be shaved before surgery.








For the second afternoon in a row, severe thunderstorms have hit the mid valley region of Oregon. They're still going on, so I will quit and unplug my computer. For awhile, there were tornado warnings in parts of Linn and Marian counties.
