Okay, it's well beyond September, but that's where everything always goes down hill....

The muffler was fixed for free (I love my local mechanic!). Don't know what I'd do without a car. I live in the middle of nowhere. If not for the internet I wouldn't even be able to get anything on DVD -- for a reasonable price that is.

Anyway, after the muffler fell off my car my best boyfriend of 18 & 1/2 years finally succumbed to age and died. Orac was the best cat in the world. A sleek, graceful, tuxedo kittie with the sweetest purr I've ever heard. He was always there for me. He out lived two (human) jerks who sponged off of me instead of getting their own stinking job. He was there as I went through one pointless job after another until I got where I am now. He was one of the best friends ever.

Cats have nine lives. I hope to see him again.

My Mother died on September 21, 2001.

Stubby (another cat) moved in of his own accord just after Thanksgiving 2001 and vanished on September 28, 2003.

Travis was put to sleep on November 2, 2005 after a long ordeal with a curable illness we almost caught in time.

Soolynn (Travis's sister kittie) was put to sleep on October 6, 2006 because she had the same curable illness but we just didn't have the money.

Orac died on September 16, 2007 due to age.

September 16 toNovember 2 stinks.
