Hello Wayne -

 WC> About time you showed.
 WC> Was getting worried about you.

 CA> I've been commuting 140 miles from city to city and back again for
 CA> weeks at a time and a bit distracted in the process.

 WC> Hey given what you've shared isn't that stressing you a bit
 WC> too much?

Probably.  There were a few things that needed to be done and no one
I could depend on to do them for me. :-\

 CA> A neighbor's cat that would come over to visit with me when I was
 CA> outside (day or night) has passed away just last night at the age of
 CA> 16.  I feel very old/tired - I will miss the company. :-\

 WC> Well you've got company I feel very old and tired but just a
 WC> bit better the last few weeks.

Good to know you're feeling better though.

 WC> Sorry about your cat companion.

I enjoy the company of animals too much for my own good.  They don't
live as long as we do. :-\

 WC> My Pit turns 14 the same time Iraq is supposed to be turned
 WC> over and he won't be with me forever either.

You might want to get a second pet before that happens.  I think it
would make the loss less difficult to endure.

 WC> I finally found out why there are few if any British
 WC> Staffordshire Bull Terriers around anymore, they're all
 WC> being bred to the larger American Staffordshire
 WC> characteristic :-(

I tend to prefer "mutts" in both cats and dogs.  They have fewer genetic
weaknesses and seem to live longer because of that fact.  The cat that I
gave to my brother was a "tabby" and the one that died recently was also
a "tabby" (catspeak for mutt).

btw: How are you getting along with your live Linux CD lately?
