Armanen Rune: Tyr:

The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

I had a conversation with R, a neighbor, about Long-tail.  It seems Long-tail may be praying in his guardian’s home; hence, I can relate. Long-tail is not interested in going into R’s house, and seemingly not able to stay @ T’s house because of the spraying.  Just like the others, I open a door before them and let them make up their own minds.  Long-tail made the conscious decision to stay inside. Today, I tried to put Long-tail on the porch.  He accepted it, yes, but was soon at the back door ready to come inside.    Again, I think I have another kitty.
<> 
Started some slow-cook steaks, to be ready later tonight.

Essie is ready for Long-tail to go home, but I can’t turn him out into a potential ice storm.

Early-midafternoon, sprinkling turned into rain; 36F/2C

Started some slow-cooked rib-eye steaks.

LOTS of Facebook time!

“A Series of Unfortunate Events” on Netflix; okay, I understand and enjoy it better now.
*last night I watched S1 E1, that immediately went into S1 E2, and there are more.
*oh wow!  There are eight episodes of this.

18:15/6:15PM, 32F/0C, rain…could be turning to ice soon.

Checked on Socks.  Smart kitty…stay in your house.

A load of laundry

Now that the oddest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.  I have NEVER seen a kitty eat veggies.  Long-tail CHOWED-DOWN on corn from a can…bizarre.
<> 
I just watched a couple of episodes of the new Match Game with Alec Baldwin http://abc.go.com/shows/match-game  I liked it A LOT!  It’s as much fun, if not more fun, than the original Match Game with Gene Rayburn.

Ice is in the trees, not on the cars or the street.

Another load of laundry

Oh my…those slow-cooked rib-eye steaks are phenomenal!

God/dess Meditation: Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you; part and parcel of our ever-expanding past.  As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
