The Beast at 3:00 O’clock in the Morning

So, what was an old dude like me, who easily tires and should have been asleep, doing awake and on my front porch on Friday at 3:00 a.m.?

The damned cat—otherwise known as Alex—refused to come into the house:




I must admit that Alex may have the right idea. The heat and pollution are so bad during the day, that it was quite pleasant to be outside at 3:00 a.m.




Addendum

Alex and I mourn the death of Oscar, our feline Blogging buddy.

Puss-in-Boots has informed us that Oscar “was hit by a car and killed instantly on Thursday night/early Friday morning.”

We shall miss Oscar. He was a wonderful companion for Robyn and a remarkable cat.

  1. Hi Nick ~~ I see Alex is still ruling the roost at your place. Do you have a fan for when it's hot or air-conditioning? I hope you have
    something to help against the heat.

    I was saddened to hear of Oscar's demise and will visit Robyn again.
    She will be so sad and is such a nice person.

    I think the ICE idea is a good one, and so sad that you do not know who you would list !!! Not Your sons
    or even your ex?? Take care, Nick,
    Regards, Merle.

  6. I've seen this before with you cat people. Clearly, he's the boss of you.

    Sorry about Oscar. Sounds like he was a good guy.

  7. Saint Nick, you are retired, aren’t you? So why worry about when you sleep. Let Alex guide you! That’s what cats are best at doing.
