Learning to fly

Walking out the door this morning I noticed two of cats entranced with
something. I decided to investigate to which I saw tawny chasing
something back and forth. At first I thought a cat toy and then maybe a
big moth, but then I heard a chirp. Next thing I know Tawny goes
prancing by me happily as can be with the tiniest bird in it's mouth.
She dropped it in the dining room to swat at it a couple of times. I
had to take off my glasses and squint a few times because I couldn't
believe it was a bird, it was the size of a golf ball! If it wasn't for
the big beak I would have thought it was a fuzzy golf ball!

I picked up the small victim and took it outside to the balcony and said
"I hope you know how to fly little buddy, because if you don't...", I
tossed the little bundle and wings came out just in time and it flew away.

I hope the next time that bird picks a better place to land then a
balcony with three cats!

Now you see it...

Now you don't.

Went to the store to pick up some cat food. First it was the Whiska's
pouch food that was pretty well stocked, now haven't seen it in months
and I don't expect it to make a comeback. Well I had been feeding the
cats some expensive Pro Plan stuff that cost and arm and a leg. I was
able to ween them to some generic Argentine made cat food and all was
going well, and at a 1/3 of the price of Pro Plan, good for me. Well
guess what, not a single bag of the generic cat food on the shelf.
Fortunately they had a decently priced substitute but I know the cats
won't be happy.

No cinema!

What? Just a Doc Report blast from the past. I just finished watching
a movie online and the quality was pretty bad, somebody had videotaped
it inside a theater. I remember when I was in the Marines and we would
but bootleg VHS tapes in Okinawa and when we watched them sometimes you
would see someone get up and walk past the camera.

So whats with the subject line? When I was in Jeddah there was a kid
was selling DVD's at the housing compound community center. About $5
each (In Ho Chi Minh City $1 for bootleg DVD's, not that I am condoning
that). I was trying to figure out a way to ask the kid if they has been
videotaped in a theater, I pretended like I had a video camera and he
enthusiastically says to me "No cinema!"

Now today was a HOT day!

95 degrees! Hot and sunny! Wow, what a scorcher. Now, 10:30PM, nice
cool breeze coming through the window. Wish I could go to Punta del
Este with my boogie board and catch some waves :-)

I saw on the news that the largest cruise ship in the world is in Buenos
Aires and will be coming to Montevideo. Think I need to Google that so
I can watch it pull in.
