I just got home from a long, hard day at work to read some of the saddest news I've heard in a long time: Colonel Meow is dead.
Apparently he passed away yesterday, and his owner- er, Slave Beast, is grieving too much right now to post the details. Of course I want to know what happened, but in the end it really doesn't matter. One of the internet's most famous and loveable cats is gone forever, except in our memories.
I barely got to know the Colonel. I'd first heard about him only a few months ago, but that fur-ringed scowl and fire-yellow eyes won my heart just as it did for millions of his "minions" all over the planet.
How very, very sad. Colonel Meow was a very special kitty indeed. He will be missed!
Special Request To Visitors
Hello. I appreciate all who enjoy visiting my page and looking at my submissions. You are welcome to favorite, share (unless otherwise noted) comment, or otherwise engage on my page. That being said, I do have one humble request. Please do not "Watch" me. I no longer allow watchers. It's nothing personal, I appreciate your interest in my art. Really, I do. But due to some unpleasant stuff that happened a few years back I decided to eliminate all watchers of my page. Thank you for understanding!
The Fabric of Time...And the Titanic.
Lately I've been thinking about the Titanic. Like, a lot. Not the fictionalized movie, but the real thing, which is not something I ordinarily do at all, believe me. Though I've had a keen interest on the subject since childhood (I first learned of it from my mother, who told me about the 'unsinkable' ship that sank, in spite of those who claimed that "Even God Himself could not sink this ship", and how- at the time- the wreck had never been found in spite of many attempts to. Yes, I'm that old.), I've never been obsessed with it like some people are, never bothered to look beyond just the basic details that most everyone knows. At least
SHAME SHAME SHAME on the Washington State Fair!!!
I just returned from visiting the biggest, bestest fair in the state: the Washington State Fair (formerly called the Puyallup Fair). Until moving to the other side of the state, this had always been "my" fair. I've been attending there since before I can even remember, up until nine years ago when I had to move away. I did visit two years ago, and even though there were signs then that all was not right with one of my favorite attractions, nothing then could prepare me for the shock and sadness I felt this year.
Since the 1920s, the very rare PTC #43 carousel has been a staple of the midway. Built in 1917 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Com
Carousel Art Under Fire
Lately there have been some items in the news regarding carousel art, and not in a positive light. The most recent concerns a horse with a Confederate flag carved on its side on a carousel made and installed in the late 1990s at a zoo in Saginaw, Michigan. This is one of two Civil War themed horses. Public protest had been the reason given to have the horse in question removed from the carousel until further notice. What will ultimately happen to the piece is pending at the time of this writing.

"fur-ringed scowl and fire-yellow eyes" indeed! He was a truly unique kitty and I'm glad his slave beast took so many pictures of him so we can remember him in all his glory!
