Mom was entering stuff on the computer. She uses a voice thing to talk
to the computer. I don't get it, it won't work for me, no matter what I
say all it types is MEOW MEOW MEOW - anyway, so Mom's entering this
data, and it has dates and she's reading it off 6 slash 21 slash 10 -
and being the stupid hooman that she is, can't figure out why Snickers
keeps reaching around the computer and slapping her, with claws fully
extended!


Several folks have told me this is spectacular - I haven't been able to
see it yet - speed not high enough !!!!

Mom's being mean to me. She says it's looks like a portrait not a silly
picture. Please stand up for me. Be my hero and tell me I'm sleek and
gorgeous. Well at least fluffy! Maybe if enough of you write to me and
tell me I'm PURRRRRFFFECT she won't try to be me on that D-I-E-T I've
heard her talking about.


What did you do for the Solstice????
We all celebrated and caterwallered and barked and howled and screached
and crowed !!!!! It was a chorus filled night at Rikki's!!! The
fewest hours of darkness we'll have for another year !!!!

Summer Solstice Dawns at Stonehenge
Thousands danced and whooped in delight as a bright early-morning sun
rose above the ancient stone circle Stonehenge, marking the summer
solstice. Unlike previous recent years, when the sunrise has been
obscured by clouds, the bright sun bathed the monument in orange and
gold today. As the sun rose, a woman climbed a rock in the circle
center and blew a horn, welcoming in the longest day of the year north
of the equator. Drums, tambourines and cheers reverberated in the
background. "It is stunning," said Stewart Dyer, a 43-year-old National
Health Service worker and dancer on his first trip to the solstice
celebration. "To actually be able to dance amongst the stones, to be
able to touch the stones, to be that close to such an ancient monument
is unbelievable." Stonehenge's origins remain a mystery, but theories
suggest the grounds were part of a huge astronomical calendar. Others
say an ancient sun worshipping culture aligned the structure with the
midsummer sunrise and the midwinter sunset.
