This morning Hubby went out to his car and discovered a tiny orange kitty, quite dead and crumpled into a ball. He was white-faced when he told me and we tried to figure how this horror had occurred.
Later, backing my car out of the garage, I saw on the driveway, below where Hubby’s car had been parked, another clump of inert fur. I burst into tears as I stood over a tiny calico kitty. Its dead body was also twisted into a tight ball.
WTF? I ask you: What happened to these babies? We live in the abject boondocks at the very end of a road. The nearest neighbor is a couple hundred feet away on the other side of a marshy ditch. I cannot imagine those tiny kitties crossing the marsh unmolested only to meet their fate in our driveway. What could have happened?
That is so awful, sjct. I don’t know what could have happened, but I would have been sick over it too.
Could it have been something like the heat?
I’ve know cats to climb up into wheel wells and engine compartments of parked cars for warmth and security.
Their fate is was about what you described
A guy on MS-NBC repeated the meme, which I hadn’t heard before, that “Obama has been poor and rich, but nothing in between.” I didn’t know that Obama was rich when he was a college and law student, professor at the University of Chicago, and an Illinois state senator. Or was he poor then?
He hadn’t been rich until he wrote two best selling books. That’s when he made him money, but he was comfortably upper middle class before that
Damn stupid bad weather….rushed home at 6 pm to join the kids in the basement.
At least 4 people dead and 30 to 40 injured at a boy scout camp about an hour north of Omaha (in Iowa).
Lots of wind, rain, hail, some wall clouds and rotation still coming through the tornado corridor from Lincoln to Omaha along I-80.
Good time to perform maintenance on all the PCs in the basement….
awful news, take care
Be careful. We had bad storms here in PA last night, but nothing as bad as that.

Home safe & sound after a week out in California helping eldest daughter get her house ready for sale as her hubby just accepted a new job in Pennsylvania. Cross your fingers that the house sells quickly.
Where in Pennsylvania? Close to Harrisburg, I hope? (Probably close to Philly, but you never know.)
