The thought it was diliberate murder really yanked my chain. The person who did the dasterdly and unthinkale was ultimately trying to either get back at you personally, or just out for some sick prank. I think the latter was more to the cat haters of the world. <br />Myself, have two wonderful cats like you, John, and know the pain it must have left you in, knowing your cat, at least the one I think it was, had been a lovable and dear friend. The thing about being out and about was a little like the time, being your attendant for many years, was like when we were at the openning in L.A. for the concert and debut of An Inconvenient Truth, where people were stepping all around and over and through, as I recall, literally causing fights in the crowd and police being the security for the event had to kick a freeloader out of the handicap seating area, because he could not show a disabled placard to the cop, who threatened to take him away in cuffs. The whole reason I mentioned this is because the humanity was out of control, as crowds are pushing and shoving just to be present, and the whole experience was mind numbing as one respectable person actually got up and said, "this is not right", as he had the respect and the temper to just get up and say what everyone was thinking, also saying, "I am going to get security".<br />The whole incident left me dumbfounded, since I was accused of letting it go on!<br />I just was an onlooker and could not believe my eyes when a lady actually stepped on you, leaving you with a throbbing foot, I assume.<br />The point is I was wrong for not standing up for you, and after all was said and done I took away from the whole affair, that strangers whether they know it or not have come forward with a brave notion to call it as they see it! Not to fear but to put people in their place. Assertively or not, we as a people need to say enough is enough, not being a follower, but to lead the way in everything they do. Even if it means to fight for their rights as well as the rights of others. <br />I hope you can keep on keeping on with all the courage and strength you have been using since the nine years I've known you.

The pioneer spirit that founded our country, though it has had its darker sides, keep coming out in us freaks, and making the world a bigger, better place.<br /><br />One of my greatest privileges at my job as a bus driver is to assist the fabulous folks--from grandmas to rap artists to polished professionals--who are out there zipping down the bike lanes in lime green or cherry red or metal flake black chirs and scooters, not letting anything hold them back. They are such an inspiration to me. Just the fact of me being a bus driver--a non-hetero Christian woman in a rainbow prayer covery--I'm right there with you pioneering, driving right past everyone who said "women can't drive busses." <br /><br />Keep up the good work!Natalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679714656258328028noreply@blogger.com
