Speaking of kitties traveling. I just read this really weird story. Mark ought to enjoy this one! Wayward NM cat has free flight home from Chicago (AP) – 1 day ago CHICAGO — No one knows how a tabby cat named Charles traveled the 1,300 miles from his New Mexico home to Chicago, but he's set for a complimentary flight home on American Airlines in a carrier donated by an Albuquerque business. Charles disappeared about eight months ago while his owner was out of town and a friend was caring for him. "Oh, I was crushed, and I found out while I was away volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, and I was so upset because I was in New Orleans so there was nothing I could do," said Robin Alex, of Albuquerque. Then earlier this week, Alex received a call telling her Chicago Animal Care and Control had picked up her wandering cat as a stray. Staffers reached out to Alex after finding that Charles had a tracking microchip embedded between his shoulder blades, said the agency's executive director, Cherie Travis. But Alex said she could not afford the round-trip ticket to Chicago to bring Charles home, so she was afraid he might be euthanized. Enter fellow Albuquerque resident Lucien Sims. Sims said he has a tabby cat who strongly resembles Charles, and was moved when his mother sent him an online story about Alex and her pet. Most importantly, Sims was on his way to Chicago on Thursday for a wedding, so he said he would go to the shelter, pick up Charles and bring him back to New Mexico. Sims has made all the arrangements for Charles' return, including getting a company to donate a cat carrier and American Airlines to waive the cat's travel fee. Travis said Charles is definitely ready for his next adventure. "He's in good condition," she said. "He needs a good brushing. He's got a little bit of a cold — a little bit of an upper respiratory infection — but otherwise he's in great condition." SOURCE |

What ever happened to Touche Turtle ? Probably recruited by Secret Squirrel. Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |

What ever happened to Touche Turtle ? I have fond memories of those old classics. Now I'm building new fond memories of The Simpsons, and South Park. :-) Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

Hello Richard hope all's well and everythings as should be, eventually all stages realise each other and obviously conclusions stabilise to a balance among which truth is apparant... Classroom and lunchtime... |
