Sad Day
Yeah, the picture above pretty much says it all. It was windy and rainy here - we lost our power for a couple of hours... I'm doing battle with a half-broken computer... Our cat isn't having his "A" game... But probably worst of all, my little field Mouse, "Ms Mousy" finally died.
Don't get me wrong... The mouse was just a rodent. I never touched her, and I didn't establish that emotional bond that others do with their pets. I learned long ago and hard away that there are real things in this world over which to shed tears. And dumb animals just don't rank that high. Sorry if that sounds callous, but it is what it is. If it takes you five minutes to read this post, in those few minutes roughly 65 people will have died needlessly, and most will be children who either starved to death or met their fate for lack of the kind of medicines we take for granted. And that doesn't even include the barbarism of senseless warfare.
So anyway... Ms. Mousy is no more, and after 5 years, this office is just a little quieter. Strange...
