Rusty

Back in the day, we had an orange tabby and so did our neighbor. Both Toms. They barely tolerated each other. But in the winter, they would climb the tree next to our house, get up on our roof and each cuddle up on one side of the chimney or the other. One day, a neighbor asked us if the cats on our roof were ceramic. My Mom said no, they're real. The neighbor said, "Oh good. I couldn't imagine who'd keep climbing up on the roof to move them!"

so you vote yes too! ;) Boy, I must have been sleepy first go around answering you (hence, my editing). I too was wondering how anyone could vote no.

There’s a restaurant near our city apartment which for about thirty years was home to a really excellent Thai restaurant. Last year they sold up (oh how we miss them!) and the place was taken over by an Indian vegetarian restaurant. I know Indian vegetarian food can be delicious (a workmate who is an Indian vegetarian brings food to share which she has made and it’s always a treat), but we tried this place and everything tasted like lightly spiced compost. Next thing we knew, it was replaced (no surprise) by another Indian restaurant, which had good reviews. We thought we’d try it, but when we looked last week it was closed for renovations (after just a few months?). Now it is in another incarnation, with a most unfortunate name, and one badly chosen.
