You let the cats out

"You let the cats out."

The temperature is not expected to do more than barely tap into the lowest nineties, and it is so overcast. It seemed ashame to keep them penned inside when you know they are aching to go outside.

"Isn't it supposed to rain?"

At best, we might get a little drizzle, and I wouldn't put money down on even that modest proposition. With July and August fast coming round, it seemed a good idea to let the cats go while the getting is good.

Damn!!

"What?"

It just occurred to me that, if I were on the ball, I could have gone downtown to get a plate of chicken fried rice for lunch. But I guess that was never an option, actually.

"No money."

Nope. None to speak of.

my Google Reader feeds

"What's the matter? Another computer virus? Or is the laptop just picking up more quirks?"

Umm, no. I'm just a little stunned that my Google Reader feeds seem to have dried up. For a good part of the day, there has only been a slight trickle of items coming in. I'm afraid they are getting better at at closing down the schoolgirl stuff. But I also wonder if this is just the effect of summer vacation falling hard upon us. These tumblrs, like other non-news bloggers, tend to be schoolkids themselves. Maybe this is just a seasonal slowing. It's funny, though. I'm so used to being over-inundated with images and tidbits. For a moment, I was wondering if Google shut me down.
