The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

A new Simon's Cat!
I had a cat who tried to do this - repeatedly . . .
My daughter had a cat who would drink water out of her goldfish bowl. If the two goldfish were more self-aware, I'm certain they would have had heart attacks!
I remember this from English Lit at SLU sometime in the last century

From hence, ye beauties, undeceived, Know, one false step is ne'er retrieved, And be with caution bold. Not all that tempts your wandering eyes And heedless hearts, is lawful prize; Nor all that glisters gold.
