    Thank you, for the difficult job you do…

    Even though I’m not in Texas, it’s people like you upon whom we all depend in times of crisis…and every crisis belongs to us all.We wring our hands and wish we could do more… butwe feel helpless….while you’re out there actually doing “more.”You can call it “just” your duty…but you didn’t start out in life with more of that responsibility than the rest of us…You chose it….and we’re grateful.

    So much for last second chances, seems Collin has gone to the well once to often. We all know how it goes. So funny the first time and second time too, to tell the truth. But after time, and too many times, what once was mildly annoying, just on the other side of irritating followed that slow spiral down the ole slippery slope; passing exasperating and finally settling uncomfortably on nauseating. After spending fifteen minutes counting polka dots, Collin casually mentioned that the International Disease and Feminine Hygiene Disorders Council had dubbed the latest Chinese Swine Flu as Polka Dot Pig Syndrome and Shirley simply lost it. Of course Collin thought it was hilarious, Shirley knows its not over, and she’s not done. Tomorrow she is going to starch his underwear and then call the bowling alley during league play to have Collin paged and announce his proctologist wants to see him immediately.

    Prince Mua and Princess SusanSunshine: ProloguePrince Mua suspiciously looked around the new place his hand-maiden Shikamoo insisted that they visit. Prince Mua indulged Shika (as he called her affectionately) by driving her in his pride and joy, Kitty Kitty Bang Bang. He would have none of this chauffeuring business. Even royal felines prefer to be able to go where they want. However, such was his affection for Shika that he let her chose many of the places they visited. She had insisted on bringing him to Spain, where the Locos dwell, and to BB (he loves the birds!), then to a ship called O. B., where Shika insisted on addressing everyone there as “Crew!” Horror of horrors, Shikamoo even brought him to C.D., where the dog lovers reside, and to the delightful Village as well, but once he saw all the wonderful people on Ballard Street, he knew he was home.

    Prince Mua was cruising in Kitty Kitty Bang Bang recently, when his eye caught a glimpse of hair flowing behind a most beautiful Princess, Princess SusanSunshine. But her carriage appeared to be of the canine variety.

    A slight hiss escaped before he could catch himself. This Princess was purrfectly lovely with her shining hair and sunlit smile. Surely her chariot was kind too. And so Prince Mua trained his feline emanations on the Princess and she felt a purr welling up even as Elvis, her chariot, wagged his tail. Prince Mua smiled. This could be the beginning of a truly delightful adventure on Ballard Street: The Adventures of Princess SusanSunshine and Prince Mua, featuring Kitty Kitty Bang Bang and Elvis.

    I hope you will welcome Prince Mua. He has chosen to take up residence in the Royal Cat Chalet, located at the end of Ballard County Rd. on Candi’s Mountain. He tells me that he is tired of driving me around to all the other sites. As his handmaiden, I let him make the decisions, but he indulges me by sometimes travelling to Spain, to O.B., CD, BB etc. He loves it when BB actually has birds for him. Otherwise, he gets bored and tends to sleep. Then I have to take over the wheel (he loves to drive). Believe me, you don’t want to see me driving too often. I take the scenic route.

    I’m afraid I need to leave now. Those who wish to party at the Chalet are welcome to stay, and there’s lots of room to sleep over. Mua will sleep just abut anywhere himself.The bar is open. If you prefer the Tiki, he understands. This is just a house warming after all, and I’m sure he’ll come down to the Tiki when he’s able to.

    Oh… good night Shika…please give Prince Mua my thanks.I’d hate to disturb him for a ride…but I do work at the Tiki on the night shift….surely someone can take me…on the ground… please.

    No…. there won’t be any trouble…we just might give the Monkey a banana daiquiri before the news….And if Stel had handled it, he might have a few questions…but she didn’t…and we know nothing.

    Sheriff MonkeyBlues is very fair…he just gets a wee mite nervous around cats, is all.

    Oh! (Shika here again). Sheriff Monkey likes Mua’s alter ego, Samson. I think that the long ear tufts make him laugh.(I hope)Mua really is sweet and he wouldn’t hurt a fly, or a monkey. And he fell asleep again, so I whistled for Elvis to pick you up…I know that one does get pretty nervous flying so high. I am used to it, but then, I’m not your usual gal. Is anyone here? Ordinary, I mean? Um. I’m not making sense. Pat my bedtime I see….
