Cats: Sneaky Squeaky Sneakers
Sneaky answers to all those names. Mr. L calls her Squeaky (which she is), I originally called her Sneaky when she wouldn’t take the bait in the trap, and she has four white feet, somewhat resembling sneakers, so I sometimes call her Sneakers. Whatever we call her, we have a … Continue reading →
Tech Stuff: Fitbit One
August 25, 2013: After years of using a basic, reliable Omron HJ-112 digital pedometer, I decided I wanted one that syncs steps with my Lose It! app that I use. I still highly recommend the Omron. You can put it in your pocket and forget it. It saves a week’s … Continue reading →

I’ve been updating you on the demolition of the building kikitty-cornercross the street from the shop. To get the background, go here. Today’s photo will show the demolition is complete.

Cats: Mooch Update
I haven’t written about Mooch lately. I wanted to complete our vacation and see where he stood when we got back. I didn’t see him for the first week or two after we got back from vacation, but over the last two weeks, I’ve started to see more of him. … Continue reading →
Tech Stuff: Home Video Surveillance
Have you ever thought about getting a home video surveillance system? We’ve been considering it. Mostly because we really want to know what the cats are really doing overnight, because we come downstairs and at least one set of curtains is on the floor (they’re no tension rods, so they’re … Continue reading →
Photo: Destruction in Progress
Several months ago, I posted this photo: I mentioned the building was slated for destruction. That process has been ongoing for much of the summer. Here’s where they stand now: Sad to see such solid construction go. Yes, it needed renovation, but there were some beautiful aspects to that old … Continue reading →
