Oops! So I totally dropped the ball and found it finally covered in dust under the couch. I definitely learned that my process of procrastination is to further it once I get it started. Hmmm. To remedy this I want to start including pictures of places that I find interesting if I am too busy to research my non-visual thoughts. On a positive note I am temporarily employed and hopefully I will learn many fascinating things in the world of the working.
We have 4 healthy feral cats in our backyard that were helped by the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon. Recently, I went to an orientation to volunteer while they were celebrating "fixing" their 40,000 cat. There are an estimated 60 million feral cats in this country alone. More than 20,000 cats were killed last year in Oregon. The FCCO uses a trap-neuter-return process that seems very successful. Because cats are territorial, the trap and remove process rarely works as a new cat colony will replace the old.
Oprah is leaving. This made me wonder about Phil Donahue, remember him? Apparently he hosted a show on MSNBC from 2002-2003, but nobody cared enough to keep it going. He is good friends with Ralph Nader, is an anti-war activist, and yelled at Bill O'Reilly. A couple years ago he helped produce Body of War, which was supposedly good. I may have to check that out.
A conversation about Mount Rushmore reminded me of visiting Crazy Horse Monument when I was a kid. It is a non-profit project and was started in 1948 by sculptor Korczak Ziółkowski, who died in 1982. The monument has received opposition by Native Americans and during the summer you can watch a laser show on the mountain.
