A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment.
I do believe that you ought to publish more about this issue, it might
not be a taboo subject but generally people do not discuss such topics.

To the next! Best wishes!!

His lyrics were inspired by the beauties he had seen living in the Rocky Mountains near Aspen, Colorado. The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963-by Christopher Paul Curtis-this book takes on another angle of the Four Little Girls tragedy in Birmingham to involve a family driving right into the madness of the situation. You can have the greatest song arrangement but if your lyrics do not really voice out what it is supposed to, you cannot reach the audience.

Beautiful cat. It’s heartbreaking to lose a family pet. I know this is more than a year late, but I was attracted to the picture, and I wanted to leave a comment. As I write this, my cat is licking my hand for some very strange reason. They are odd and wonderful creatures.

A-ha! Yes, that's the story. Barrier (sometimes "The Barrier") is a 1942 short story by Anthony Boucher. I saw it in the Full Spectrum IV anthology. Perhaps I'll be able track it down now. Thanks for commenting.

Wonderful story! Called “The Barrier.” Can’t recall the author’s name, unfortunately.

Thank you, Veronica and Sally, for stopping by and leaving a comment. It is really difficult and, like Veronica, I feel like I should have been able to do something, even if it was only calling the seemingly clueless emergency vet after getting home and saying, “Hey! I’ve done some research and think it’s a blood clot! He needs to be put on thinners ASAP.” Even if I had done that, by the time we actually made it home, he was apparently already gone and the prognosis isn’t great in any case, even with immediate attention.

I’m glad Cyrano recovered. Kitty 2 is prone to urinary tract/kidney issues. He’s permanently on a special cat food that he doesn’t like but the other cats adore. He (and his brother Kitty 1) are 11.5 too.

I’m so sorry about Minuit, Veronica. )-: It did help to write about it, but it’s still very difficult seeing his brother struggling for playmates and passing areas of the house where Copernicat was fond of perching.

Oh, Michelle,

I’m practically in tears reading this and looking at the gorgeous photos of your felines. I didn’t realize you were also a cat person. I know the horrible sinking feeling when one of your fur persons is ill. When we first moved to Thailand, our (then) three year old male tabby Cyrano had a urinary tract blockage that turned into a serious infection. He was hospitalized for three weeks – three of the worst weeks in my life. Fortunately he finally recovered (though he lost a lot of weight) and hasn’t had a recurrence.

Male cats tend to be more delicate than females. We’re grateful that both Cyrano and his housemate Esmeralda (black, gorgeous, ex-feral) are still doing well at eleven and a half. They love Thailand, too. I would have thought that if one was covered with fur, regular temps in the eighties and nineties would be oppressive, but they both seem to prefer that to air conditioning.

Once again – I’m so sorry about Copernicat. I know what you’re feeling.

Lovely post, Michelle. Copernicus was beautiful. It’s hard when a cat dies and even worse when it is so young and so unexpected. I lost my very special black cat Minuit at the same age 11 years ago: he was fine on Thursday, ill on Friday, dead by Monday — and like you I’d left him overnight at the vet, so I wasn’t there when he died. It took me months to get over it, and I still feel I should have been able to save him somehow. It does help to write about it, and remember the good times. Minuit made me smile every day of his short life.

Comment on [Lock Those Libraries] by Eingang

That’s a good point and it reminds me of looking for materials at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich. They didn’t have “stacks” that you could browse. You looked through the electronic card catalogue for what you wanted and presented a request slip to a librarian. Then a robot would retrieve and eventually deliver whatever it was. It was very high tech, but I did comment at the time on how it interfered with serendipitous finds. As you noted with The Open University library, you already needed to know a lot about what it was you wanted before you could get it.
