This generic photo shows some flooding. 

To see pictures of the latest flooding in this area, see below. I have collected several news stories of the latest flooding (today and yesterday) in my area here:

NPR: Heavy flooding turns deadly

Weekend storms have killed 8 in Tennessee, 3 in Mississippi (from the Birmingham News)

Tennessee Flooding Slideshow (from Yahoo)

The Nashville news station told people to "stay home" today. They also showed traffic on the freeway totally stopped. Some people are trying to come North and can't today.

We have very high water here in Bowling Green, Kentucky too. I will be watching the new for sure tonight!

Joe's Shorty and Gizzard are Biker Dogs

These guys are a sight. Joe styles and dyes their hair so they can be cool. One rides in front of him on his bike, and the other stands in back. Check out their cook mustaches and beards.

And here are both close-up.

See more of Shorty and Gizzard on Flickr here:

It's a dog's life, isn't it? These guys sure looked like they were having fun.


All for now,

Boss Kitty - well, she is boss of my household

BOSS KITTY is having a good day today.

I have wanted to post some pictures of my cat, Boss Kitty, here for a long time.

Here are some photos I took today. Boss is really loving the sunshine we have here in Bowling Green today. We have rigged her up a cat perch in the front window which she loves. She is sleeping there right now. You can also tell she was sleepy when I took these photos!

Boss is a black and white female tuxedo cat. 

Boss Kitty was hanging around last winter, hungry and cold, so we let her stay in the garage. Then later we adopted her.  She had half of a tooth, so it needed to come out, plus she had Feline HIV so we can't have any other cats or let her outside. The vet guesstimated her age at 10 or over.

Boss Kitty likes to sleep a lot and is very good-natured. I think she came from a family that moved kiddy-corner from us a few years ago. She may have been a neighborhood cat and eaten lots of dog food before she came to us. She only eats dry cat food (and prefers Purina brand)  and does not like any kind of treats, though she WILL smell them. Go figure!

All for now,

A really pretty horse head in Kentucky

This is a really pretty horse at a friend's farm. I took this earlier in the year. I have some more photos I want to post of this visit, including some of the new foal. This is its mother.

Before I do that, I will be posting some photos of the Greek Festival in Nashville last weekend.

This week, time is going faster than usual. I think I'll enjoy it when time slows down again (if ever!)


All for now! Have a great week.
