    Default What a wake up call.

    I happened to get up early this morning, well - earlier than my 6 am usual. Ok, the truth is my cat and dogs woke me up at 5 because they were extra hungry and it was somewhat cold out. But anyway.

    I turned on the local news channel in San Jose, CR and what did I see? Mention of a meeting between Mexico and our illustrious leader Biden.

    And in large letters on the screen it announced that he will be allowing the entry of 30,000 additional new people per MONTH, BUT exclusively from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, etc.
    In other words, only from Socialist countries!

    Isn't it racism, of a sort, when only one ideology, one group of believers in Communism as a religion will be allowed in, and not a similar number from India, Bangladesh, or Europe?

    WTF?

    So I looked, and looked, and no mention of this on MSN or Youtube. Odd, right?

    Yeah but people running from socialist countries should be the good ones, no?

    Anyway, don’t stay awake too long. Your critters need you rested in the morning. ~8D

    Thanks. I've had lots of dogs but this is the first cat I have had in 40 years. Didn't know what I was missing.

    I just purchased a t-shirt that is appropriate, for me at least. It says:
    I love my Coffee, My Cat
    And Maybe three other people.

    My family is still trying to guess if they are one of the three or not.

    Jim, What are you loving about your cat? I love dogs and cats, but I love it when a non- cat lover comes to the cat side. 🥰 My husband has gone from "how do you cook them" ( re:cats) 20 years ago, to having our kitty with him at every possible moment. I just love it!
    The t shirt is also excellent...

    \Yes, my dogs were surprised too (and a bit jealous). I don't know what it is - probably it resonates at some very deep level that one is only allowed to appreciate after maturing in life? Ha Ha, that's from my cat.
