Western State College Blogs

Today I came across some blogs written by current Western State Students. You may plug into their activities if you Google Western State College Blog. One student in on a Semester at Sea program. One is a "townie" coming from Gunnison and going to Western complete with a dorm experience. The common thread to all of them seems to be they were chosen to be counselors at Freshman Orientation. They are a pretty alternative and outdoorsy folks.

The lady at the door of Costco told me that snow and rain was predicted for the valley tonight. I just got back from feeding the boys (on foot) and it had started to rain. I think that it is too warm to rain tonight. Even though it is cold. The cats are doing better. Our wild interloper has a new name. Sue has declared him blackjack instead of what we were calling him.. blacky. He is long and sleek and has an apple shaped head instead of the long oval head of Nigel. Nigel also has long hair, being a Main coon cat like Churro. I think those main coon cats like mufasa, Nigel and Churro make the most people pleasing cats. They have some great adaptability genes. I also think they are pretty smart.

Tonight I had to do the old Irish trick on Nigel. He has a tendency to follow me home.. to the apartment. Usually I wait and feed him just before I leave and then he is more interested in eating then following me home. This did not work on Thursday. He followed me home and I had to take him back in the car. He got to the apartment after he stalked me and then ended up under a truck crying out. So what is the old Irish trick. Tonight when I headed home he was outside and was following be home. I circled back and opened the door to the house. He always wants to be the first one in. He came in. I closed the door in front of me and did not reenter the house.

Don't ask me why this is the old Irish trick.. Dad might be able to enlighten us on its origin.

Have a good safe night..

Love
