Interesting Weather

 Yesterday was another scorcher, near 100 degrees.  

Then the power went out.    Yuk.   I guess about 2600 to 3000 customers were without power.

I was lucky to be one of them.   Just kidding.

The power going out here is not unusual sorry to say.  But it is rather uncomfortable when its as hot as it was.

I think it was about 9:00 p.m. it came back on.   It was just before total darkness and I was thinking I should either go to bed or get the lantern.

I don't really mind the power out.  Its nice and quiet.   Except the guy behind me and one house over roared up a generator.  That wasn't so nice and quiet.

There was a magnificent sunset too and the wind came up crazy.   I guess there was lightning some places, maybe here, but I did go to bed and missed it if the thunderstorm (dry) came over my place.

I had gone early up to Sweet Home to try for adults where I caught the kittens, but the adults are so trap shy and I can't get anyone to stop feeding long enough.   I gave the responsibility over to the former 7-11 manager, who lives there, but I don't think she understands or listened to me she should tie open her trap and feed in it first, to get them used to going in and out, then use a bottle and string to spring it.  I don't think she's that dedicated to it.  She could do that since she lives right there and feeds them.

The little boy rumpy manx kitten apparently has manx syndrome, no tone to his rectum, I don't know if he will survive long.  He spent the day at the vets yesterday, according to KKR, who had taken him same day I caught him.  I know he was badly impacted with stool.   So its rather imperative to stop the 3 adults there from breeding further and spreading those deadly manx genes.

I am very grateful to KKR for taking him on.  

Our weather is just not normal anymore.  We've been over 90 for a long time although today might be under that.    

Seems like its always something extreme in the summer now.

Old Starr is still hanging on, was laid out in the heat when the power was out yesterday and seemed to enjoy the add warmth in the house.

Vino, by the way, is almost over his cold, without medical intervention.  I'm happy about that one, for sure.  He's really wild.

They were all laid out yesterday, in the heat.  Fantasia up top, one of the original quirky sisters, Rogue and Cougie on the bottom.

Today is starting out cool, for a change, still not 70 degrees, and cloudy.
