Andrew’s Fifth Rule of Cybernetics
There is nothing as permanent as a temporary fix.
Andrew’s Chemistry Lesson
Water: Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure gin. Hydrogin is gin and water.
Spirit Kitty
Last Sunday’s poem featured our 17 year-old cat Spirit Kitty. By popular demand here is a picture of her (okay, okay, one person asked).
In her bed on the bed saying to me, “Trying to sleep here, do you mind?”
I did try to get an action shot, but the most action I could get was her rising her head.
and because I have a cell phone with a lot of memory, here’s a bonus picture of Spotty on her Snoopy blanket:
Spotty after a rough day of chasing the other cats and guarding the garden.
Not much happening the shop at the moment. Hope to have a shop project for next week.
If you need me – I’ll be taking dinner orders from the cats.

Spirit Kitty is seventeen.
Her occupation is chasing sunny spots
to warm her arthritic bones.
Her once shiny sable coat now is sparse
over her fragile frame.
My workday done, the car turns towards
the vet’s office,
and medications to bring sunshine
to Spirit’s failing body.
Cats caged, dogs leashed, people wait.
Comfort exchanged, fear acknowledged,
person and pet wait for the call at the open door.
At the desk, I laugh with the assistant,
exchange humor, and receive the bag.
A door opens.
A boy walks out hugging a half empty bag of dog food.
A women follows, wiping tears.
Last out, a man holding a leash and empty collar.
Silence falls as the solemn procession
walks through the door
Just a poem for today. Till next time,
Andrew
