In response to "Thanksgiving Dinner- Here Kitty Kitty"

Kittie-burgers for din-din? Felix just invited himself to dinner!

I've had cats but they weren't mousers. One was a birder though (but she never got out).

I do remember an incident when a mouser where I was visiting caught a rat. It was gruesome.

In response to "Senior Moments"

Ah... seniors. Yes, we annoy. But, here in Montana, we'd do just what Betty did.

In response to "Uncle Shit"

Good response. Seems like family high-drama. I don't have drama in my life at the moment. I'm fine with that.

In response to "Another Mass Murder- The Cycle of Violence Continues"

I try not to comment on other countries issues, after all, the crisis that is happening in the US has no bearing on my life here in Australia. But, your piece deserves to be acknowledged.

I used to own hunting rifles, but then on 28th April, 1996, everything changed, when a person, I refuse to name, decided to take aim upon and kill, 35 innocent men, women and children (with coincidentally, an AR15 ArmaLite).

Many more were injured that terrible day, and the government of the time did something that, all theses years later, has proven that in fact, it is guns that kill people.

There hasn't been another massacre since, and the reason is, I believe, that the population was disarmed. A buy back scheme saw millions of weapons crushed, and since then, there are regular amnesties to hand in illegal and unregistered weapons.

Sure, there's still guns out there, and to pretend otherwise is ridiculous, but a kid who is having a hard time at school can't go to his parents bedside drawer and take a concealable firearm, go to school and do something any civilized society should be ashamed of.

I don't know what the answer is...when a country is so afraid that it cannot acknowledge the statistic that owning a gun does not protect you, but actually increases the likelihood of being killed by a gun...often with that very gun.

From the outside looking in, the US is at war...with itself.

In response to "This Writer's Six Hour Observation of Life in the Midwest"

Axe throwing lessons? Wow. That goes right up there alongside my wish to learn to joust and archery. It's a serious skill.

No offense to the people of Missouri, but when I drove through there years ago, I couldn't help but think it was the ugliest state in the U.S. So I feel you.
