More demolition on Tricou Street.
There was one big boom today, when I think they pulled down more than they meant to. But I didn't have my camera.

Shadow got in a rose bush. And I found a strange beehive.
It was cute, everything she does is cute, but an angry bird didn't think it was so cute.

Buddy took to sleeping in the bathroom sink for two days.
I'll just post one picture.
Buddy and Shadow shared the bed on a cold morning.
And Shadow pulled the blanket over herself.

Buddy and Shadow posed for their school pictures.
A somewhat rare detente.
Shadow wore a collar for the first time.
It wasn't that hard to get it on her. Maybe she understands what I mean by it.
Took a lot of pictures of my cats.
I'm sure I did other things too.
I saw a beautiful thing today.
I saw a man on St. Roch avenue, near St. Claude. He was pushing a yellow Dollar General shopping cart full of unidentifiable junk.
I made tuna salad with albacore tuna.
Albacore tuna is thought to be more elegant than the cheap kind (chunk light!) but doesn't taste as good.

I don't know; it's just completely overgrown.
I dreamed I went to New York City with a cat and a kitten.
I was traveling with some kind of group in a fifteen-passenger bus.

Buddy was king of all he surveyed.
Just Buddy absolutely enjoying his princedom, or principality, or what you will.
Buddy went out in the snow for the first time in his life.
It snowed in New Orleans. I let Buddy out in it.
11/11 is Betty's gotcha day.
Buddy thought a package of books was food.
It sounded like food.
Buddy got home from surgery very groggy.
Basically he couldn't stand up yet right after the surgery.
Buddy continued getting better and better, I saw a Shakespeare play, and for some reason I painted a stop sign.

Buddy continued getting better, Google Photos vs Apple Photos, and we said goodbye to Bob Newhart.

Buddy got his stitches out, The Stacks had a great weekend, and somebody tried to kill the former President.

Buddy continued to heal after his eye surgery.
He really refused to wear the cone at this point.
Buddy got in the bass drum again.
He looked pretty comfortable in there.
Buddy healed after his eye surgery.
He seemed to feel so much better after having his eye removed.
Buddy rested, three days after his eye surgery.
Buddy's acting more like himself, in that he's lying on the bed instead of under it (something he never did before).
Buddy had surgery to remove his left eye and to remove melanoma from his right eye.
It was a scary and sad time but he'll be all right.
Last picture of Buddy with his left eye.
This was so sad, and a dreadful time for us.
Buddy has glaucoma and melanoma in his eyes, but he'll be okay.
Close to a month after I took this picture, Buddy got a diagnosis. He has glaucoma in his left eye (the one to the viewer's right).
Buddy and Otter watched out for me.
Buddy has already accepted that whatever happens is fate. Otter, on the other hand, never learns anything.
Got a picture of Buddy and Otter being friends.
Gina always said they're more like frenemies, but look at this.
Buddy let me see his cloudy eye.
Buddy finally let me get a picture of his cloudy eye.

Shadow was camouflaged on the roof of my car.
She lives down the street, but she eats food here.
Buddy relaxed on the work table.
Buddy looks like he's thinking about work, but, like me, hes mostly wondering when lunch is.
Our trash got picked up and we were excited about it.
Gina's trash hadn't been picked up since August 25, before Hurricane Ida.

Buddy and Otter went to the office.
I guess they got tired of working remotely and wanted to get back to the office.
We took the bachelor out, and Gina found a kitten.
It would be a great story if they had happened in the same place.

Buddy and Otter stopped fighting for a minute.
These two generally torment each other all day.
Otter came over for a nap on my work table.
This cat lives next door but he doesn't know that.
Otter's been hanging out on the utility shelf.
He treats my house like it's his workplace.
He's available to model any hosiery you can get him to wear.
Documenting the exciting life of an animal who puts up with me.
Buddy and I learned a hard lesson about discipline.
In which I teach Buddy a lesson, but you know what? I learned a lesson of my own.
Otter is the most entitled cat I've ever known, and that's saying a lot.
Buddy and Otter are frenemies.
Buddy is very patient, despite being the most food-motivated cat I've known.
He's an enormous cat.

This wouldn't be remarkable except when I see these cats I always look for Sally.
The last good picture of Sally.
I have more recent pictures but this is the one I like.
Sally investigated zinnias from our garden.
Gina asked me to plant these.
Just looking at this picture reminds me how high my utility bills for this house were.
Sally kept watch at 321 Clark Street.
I liked living here until I got the light bill.
Sally stayed in the air conditioning.
Our house really was comfortable, we stayed in it too much.
Sally sat on a sunny desk in Austin, Texas.
I don't know about Sally but I was lonely in Austin. Sometimes we made the best of it, though.
I know this is only cute to me, but it's really cute to me.
This apartment was comfortable. I hardly left it.
This was in Austin where there wasn't enough for her to do.
Sally made friends with a three-legged cat neighbor.
He lived downstairs, and his name was Angus.
Sally lived with me on Orchid Street.
She was happy here, with lots to climb on and catch.
Sally on the porch at Orchid Street.
This was a fantastic porch for man and cat alike.
Sally stretched in the backyard.
Just a little bit before we moved to New Orleans.
Sally prepared for a nap on my printer.
She was very photogenic that day, and the light was nice.
Sally on the yard table at 181 Irving Avenue.
I've never had such a loyal and companionable cat.
4e loved this elevated front porch.
Sally looked sassy on my desk.
We had nice light in the Irving Avenue place.
Sally showed off on Orchid Street.
She made herself at home, for sure.
Sally spent the day with me at the office.
She had a really good attitude.
Cats are basically temperature regulation devices.
Sally stretched on our plywood floor.
This was in Bushwick on our gray-painted floors.
I knew she would be mine, there was never any doubt.
Date very approximate.
We were housesitting on my first visit to New Orleans.
