    Adams Rubble: Hello recorder. Riddle is on the way
    Adams Rubble: Remember "WHO is patient"
    Adams Rubble: Hello Riddle :)
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: Hello Adams
    Adams Rubble: It was like old days this morning
    Adams Rubble: I had to leave writing to come to PaB
    Riddle Sideways: ah
    Adams Rubble: I had so much i wanted to write down
    Riddle Sideways: much easier here with dawn coming early

    Adams Rubble: I had an idea yesterday
    Riddle Sideways: /listens
    Adams Rubble: Since you are going to be away for my art of self presentation,
    Adams Rubble: maybe we could help each other
    Adams Rubble: I could give you a sneak preview
    Adams Rubble: and you could give me a sneal review :)
    Adams Rubble: sneak
    Riddle Sideways: oh goodie
    Adams Rubble: I am not ready today. I am tearing it apart some again this morning
    Adams Rubble: well not completely now

    Adams Rubble: Do you remember Pema talking about things being cicular
    Riddle Sideways: a little
    Adams Rubble: that we kept going over the same stuff
    Adams Rubble: but each time around it became a bit easier
    Riddle Sideways: oh yes
    Adams Rubble: I can't find the reference
    Adams Rubble: well my project is like that :)
    Adams Rubble: I have been dropping images like attachments
    Adams Rubble: added a new one in place of two I was considering
    Adams Rubble needs help
    Adams Rubble giggles
    Riddle Sideways: funny how it gets that way
    Riddle Sideways: is it a trying for perfection thing? again?

    Zsigmond Alcott: 's current display-name is "- ̗̀ Ziggy ̖́-".
    Adams Rubble: well some of it is that but also trying to find ways to say what I want to say or trying to figure out what I am trying to say :)
    Zsigmond Alcott: O.o
    Adams Rubble: I guess that avatar did not like what they sawe
    Adams Rubble: saw
    Riddle Sideways: yes, who was that
    Adams Rubble: an old timer - 10 years old
    Riddle Sideways: sorry, watching the new person... do the funny walk
    Adams Rubble: maybe it was John Clease?
    Riddle Sideways: and every time someone writes O.o thoughts of Bil the Cat come across
    Riddle Sideways: ok, enough of that
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: back to
    Adams Rubble: a strange intermission
    Riddle Sideways: ummm preview or advise

    Riddle Sideways: new person ... walking back and forth in field
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: 2 day old
    Adams Rubble: Ohh, two people this morning. The old timer went away
    Riddle Sideways: acts like they can't get into our sim
    Adams Rubble: the 2 day old is not on my radar
    Adams Rubble: My radar has been clunky lately though
    Riddle Sideways: was watching instead of radar
    Riddle Sideways: old timer went back to welcome center
    Adams Rubble: you have better eyes than I do :)
    Riddle Sideways: ha, switched to radar and zoomed out
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Adams Rubble: my technical skills are not so great
    Riddle Sideways: what?
    Riddle Sideways: yes, they are
    Adams Rubble: The map shows someone in Jeju - sounds like a Beetles song

    Riddle Sideways: In other news. Old cat (20+) that use to block keyboard and monitor died yesterday
    Adams Rubble: ohhhh, so sorry
    Adams Rubble: was it your only cat?
    Riddle Sideways: she had a long happy life
    Adams Rubble: yes, 20 years
    Riddle Sideways: no, we are owned by 2 other cats
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Adams Rubble: that helps
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Adams Rubble: do they seem sad
    Riddle Sideways: she was going down hill lately
    Riddle Sideways: not really, they maybe said they goodbyes a couple days ago
    Adams Rubble: sometimes it happens so fast
    Riddle Sideways: and they never really 'hung out' with her
    Riddle Sideways: she has been sick-ish for 1.5 years
    Adams Rubble: oh my, not fast
    Riddle Sideways: but, got a little better
    Riddle Sideways: just slowly aging
    Adams Rubble nods
    Adams Rubble: I wonder if animals can get alzheimers
    Riddle Sideways: think she did
    Riddle Sideways: arthritic, no hearing
    Riddle Sideways: and disoriented

    Riddle Sideways: but, liked being outside laying in driveway sunbeams
    Adams Rubble: ohhh
    Adams Rubble: cats love sunbeams
    Riddle Sideways: problem is the really good warm sun spots move
    Adams Rubble: everyone else lying around exhasted by the heat and the cats go for the sun beams
    Riddle Sideways: ya just get to sleep
    Riddle Sideways: and it moves on
    Adams Rubble: yes, that is a problem for cats--moving sun beams
    Adams Rubble: cats teaching us about impermanance
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Riddle Sideways: why maybe put it in log
    Riddle Sideways: not for mourning
    Riddle Sideways: just for the lessons
    Adams Rubble: yes
    Riddle Sideways: she would have her 'spot'
    Riddle Sideways: like Carlos Cassada (sp?)
    Riddle Sideways: wrote
    Adams Rubble: one of my teachers talked about what a blessing it is when an animal meets us at the door or someplace every day. A lesson in love
                   --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: a thing dogs do
    Adams Rubble: and sometimes cats
    Riddle Sideways: young cat did that for a while
    Riddle Sideways: knew when the car was coming home
    Adams Rubble: yes they do
    Riddle Sideways: even though it is a Pruis and really quiet
    Adams Rubble: hehe
    Adams Rubble: cats can hear mice in a woodpile
    Riddle Sideways: old cat would have Her Spot for 2-5 days
    Riddle Sideways: then The Spot would move to the next dining room chair
    Riddle Sideways: or a few feet away
    Riddle Sideways: and very seldom would the spot move many rooms away at one time
    Riddle Sideways: not like the others
    Riddle Sideways: part of her religion
    Adams Rubble: I think the cats miss us just as much as dogs but have a different way of showing it
    Riddle Sideways: cats have very different ways of showing everything
    Adams Rubble: they have their image to keep up
    Riddle Sideways: aloftness
    Adams Rubble: aloofness?
    Riddle Sideways: Face Cat has her Spots, but they are any clean cloths baskets
    Riddle Sideways: ty, speeling issues
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: anyway, there are lessons in there somewhere
    Adams Rubble: It has been nice to talk with you this morning
    Adams Rubble: yes there are
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Adams Rubble: bye for now
    Riddle Sideways: bye and have the great day
