Thank God for Small Miracles

They finally wore each other out!  I've needed some downtime all day.  They are great fun, but high maintenance for the first days working out the transition to house dwelling with cats even.  Sam's doing well.  She's smart and Sally's teaching her quickly how to exist at the house.

Sally and Sam first 24hrs

This is Sally and Sam (aka Bubbles) playing in the living room during the day long thunderstorm.  It's their first 24hrs together.

Sweetest cat I've ever known

I truly believe Joon is an extension of me. I cannot imagine life without her. I love her little pigeon coo every time she sees me. She is my sweet sweet lap cat.

If this is for real this is disgusting. I'm so full of toxins they are leaking out my feet I had to put them in this kitty litter box to capture all the toxins.

Outstanding Dinner

Had a wonderful night out at the samurai steakhouse.

We cooled the meat on the stone to our liking. It sizzled with fresh butter and spices...yummy

A Statement on the Proposed "Cordoba House" Mosque near Ground Zero
Newt Gingrich
July 21, 2010 6pm
There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over. The proposed "Cordoba House" overlooking the World Trade Center site –where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyed one of our most famous landmarks - is a test of the timidity, passivity and historic ignorance of American elites. For example,most of them don't understand that "Cordoba House" is a deliberately insulting term. It refers to Cordoba , Spain – the capital of Muslim conquerors who symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the world's third-largest mosque complex. Today, some of the Mosque's backers insist this term is being used to "symbolize interfaith cooperation" when, in fact, every Islamist in the world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a sign of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our historic ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way.  Those Islamists and their apologists who argue for "religious toleration" are arrogantly dishonest. They ignore the fact that more than 100 mosques already exist in New York City . Meanwhile, there are no churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia. In fact no Christian or Jew can even enter Mecca.  And they lecture us about tolerance. If the people behind the Cordoba House were serious about religious toleration, they would be imploring the Saudis, as fellow Muslims, to immediately open up Mecca to all and immediately announce their intention to allow non-Muslim houses of worship in the Kingdom. They should be asked by the news media if they would be willing to lead such a campaign. We have not been able to rebuild the World Trade Center in nine years. Now we are being told a 13 story, $100 million mega-mosque will be built within a year overlooking the site of the most devastating surprise attack in American history. Finally where is the money coming from? The people behind the Cordoba House refuse to reveal all their funding sources. America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could. No mosque. No self-deception. No surrender.
The time to take a stand is now - at this site on this issue.
If, after reading this, you agree with it, please pass it on to others.
 
This is the most clearly stated, sensible, and historically accurate statement that I've read on this issue (and I've read a lot of them). Why can't we have a President as intelligent, educated, and patriotic as this former Speaker of the House?  
Have a Nice Day

Dog door doubles as a lookout during rainstorm

Sally has decided the dog door has many purposes. 1 as a lookout during the rainstorm. 2 as a way to scare the begeebus outta the cats when she bolts through unexpectedly and 3 as a fun toy that makes lots of noise.
