A week with the cats

 Spent a quiet week with the cats, Oreo and Pumpkin.

Another Thanksgiving day

 The day started as usual, Twyla asking for my attention. It was a cold morning. We walked and we had our breakfast. The city is quiet, there is barely a car passing by. Yesterday I was surprised to see the cats food is spattered everywhere. After a long confusion I found a possum sheltering in the cat's comfortable beds my neighbor put outside. Twyla treated friendly but fortunately it was gone this morning. I went to see the cats and make sure they have their food. All afternoon was rainy, quiet and lonely.

Sleepy Sunday

 The day started with a cold morning. Crisp, sharp on skin and a little windy. We went for a walk as usual. She was tired most of the day. 

Forests of Arkansas

 It was getting cold. The fall was around the corner and I had a few days in my hand so I could leave the busy city behind and hit the road again. I was missing mountains and I was looking for somewhere I haven't been there before. I also had a company this time. Twyla was coming with me and this was her first long trip with me so I decided to make it lighter, so I was happy to see Arkansas is the randomly chosen destination. This is the new habit to chose the destination with dice. When you travel for a long time, you start looking for new excitements. One of the disadvantages of the information era is the information! Most of the time you can have a solid and predictable plan for your trip and that can spoil the adventurous nature of the experience so I find new ways to surprise myself.   I packed up my stuff in White Dwarf and we headed to Mississippi. I tried to be light but unlike hiking, camping can get heavy very fast because we don't notice the weight we don't carry...
