Cats? Pipe smoking? The Middle East? No foreign policy post for Dennis Rodman in a Trump Administration? My drone is better than your drone?
Recent case in Yonkers. A couple brought a very young cat which was severely injured to a local vet clinic and dropped it off without giving their names or phone numbers. Anonymous good Samaritans but there's a bad twist. Cat later died and tested positive for rabies. The County Health Department is desperately trying to track the couple down to have them tested for the virus. Got me googling rabies again with my hundred other topics. Rabies is still generally considered fatal but...
As always though talk about anything you like.
That is an unusual good Samaritan case. I would think you would need to get bitten or scratched as Rabies infects the blood stream and a mangled kitten probably wouldn't do that - or maybe. The plot thickens if we wonder where and how the kitten got it. Meanwhile in CA bird flu is raging through the dairy herds and they declared an emergency. Cows? It thought it was for the birds. Here, I woke up a couple nights to sirens blaring along the street to our north, sounded like a police chase from Barney Miller. Nothing on the news. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmess, no?
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty easy to get scratched by a cat though and doesn't even have to be malicious (voice of experience). Add to that a stray or feral is highly unlikely to have their nails trimmed. Also alot of people might already have small cuts on their body.
ReplyDeleteYou're right but too many variables which is why the Health Dept. wants to talk to these people.
ReplyDeleteSetting some one on fire in the subway. NYC a tough place to travel?
ReplyDeleteUsually they just try to push you off the subway platform.
ReplyDeleteWondering. Various versions of "The Sound of Silence" the classic Simon and Garfunkel song. Different artists gave it their own take. A rather serious song gives a kind of vibe how do I describe it? How would Stevie Wonder do the song? He'd give it a happy and peppy feel.
ReplyDeleteI used to play their Bridge Over Troubled Water on the basement piano. Been a couple years, i sat down to do some Christmas carols and found some keys jammed some that stuck down and parts that didn't match. Want to get rid of it, heavy upright that was formerly in a bar in Mpls back in the fifties. Bought it for $5 bucks from a guy, by having several guys from the cosmetics place help me get it up the stairs. The movers used a big 2 wheel skid to put it where it is.
ReplyDeleteGonna five it away to anyone that can move it. A piano playing explosives scientist - can't make that stuff up.
My late aunt always had a piano in the living room. I think hardly anyone ever played it. More for decor. Takes up space. Could put a couple of cat condos there.
ReplyDeleteShould have bough a flute.
ReplyDeleteSo my friend turned me on to Disturbed's version of "Sound of Silence." "Disturbed" is some metal rock group I never heard of. Their cover of the song is more emotional and robust than the original almost operatic. Read some web reviews of it. People either loved it or hated it no in-between. Passionate arguments. Such polarization and it's only a song.
ReplyDeleteI see it was 22 below up at Saranac Lake yesterday. ice fishing?
ReplyDeleteI consider 7° to be hell on Earth. If you take a leak does it freeze in midair?
ReplyDeleteDunno, i'd have to check with an Eskimo.
DeleteAn update. The couple that brought the rabid black kitten to the Yonkers Animal Hospital and dropped it off have been evaluated by the Health Department and are in the clear.
