Psycho Kitties ... Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

The cats are part of Pier 1 Imports' Halloween display.

The post was inspired by Pasadena Adjacent's recent encounter with many of the feline species.

Then I started thinking about Talking Heads - I know I saw them at the Greek Theatre in LA with either B-52s or Devo as the warm-up band. It was Sept. 27th, 1979? I can't remember the year.

This was taken when I stopped for gas at the corner Chevron station early in the morning on the way to work.

It's not intended to be an anti-industry statement - just an interesting photo.

California Heights in Long Beach, CA

"[Long Beach] City's largest historic district consists of approximately 1500 properties, predominantly Spanish Colonial Revival homes constructed in the late 20s. A scattering of other styles, Craftsman Bungalows and Tudor Revival, may be found, including some homes moved here from other locations. Neo-Traditional homes built in the late 30’s and early 40’s are also included. Large mature street trees and vintage street lights enhance the neighborhood ambience." - from

Fly DC Jets - Long Beach, CA

This sign adorns the last standing commercial airplane manufacturing building of the old Douglas Company in Long Beach, CA. The sign faces the Long Beach Airport runway. I could not resist trying to get a photo of the sign - thus the fuzzy, odd shot photo.

For all Odd Shots, visit the originator & host Katney.

Hard / Soft - 2 things challenge

What do you mean by "I need to use the mouse?"

Whiskers (I think) is keeping me company.

Comfy & cozy ...

(Maybe this is Smokey?)

Hey, who is down there?

And whose paws are those?

Why, it's my brother!

Introducing Whiskers & Smokey, our new kitties. My son found them at the Whitmore Shelter by Mammoth Lakes and we decided to take them both. They are very friendly, affectionate, playful, and very stinky (at times). Whiskers is the bold one, and Smokey is more cautious. That's the only way we can tell them apart right now.
