ateolf | Who Is This Man?

Mary Beth and I went on a short walk around the neighborhood last night just before sunset. And it reminds me about this next anecdote that happened on the day before's walk that I forgot to mention in my last post. This cat we're always wary of making eye contact with because it has no qualms with just hanging out in the middle of the street all the time (it's a residential street, but still!) and just follows anyone at the drop of a hat, (once Mary Beth saw a woman have to pick it up and place it on the other side of a fence because it wouldn't stop following her), well we saw this cat coming for us (we hadn't even made eye contact, it was just already on its way towards us) and so then it's there and we stopped on the sidewalk and hung out with it for a minute. I was able to check the collar and see that his name is Charlie. Charlie is a very friendly boy! We were worried he might just try to follow us around, but after a little bit of pets he went on his separate way. It was nice to actually meet him and not just have to run away from him! (To be fair the running away is fear that something bad is going to happen to him in the middle of the street!) Okay, now back to yesterday! Later at night Mary Beth finished reading to me Black Swans by Eve Babitz and it was good! Now onto today.
