   I greatly missed brown tabby Zorro used to wake me up every morning by washing my face. It was not only effective, it also was a free exfoliation!

   Well, I saw the movie, yet I still didn’t get it. It was a long time ago, and, I guess it really didn’t impress me that much.

   I would bet that Opal is allergic to the preservative in the lens solution. I was, so I had to switch to the single use tiny little ampules. It got to be so expensive, I went back to glasses. Also, I hated using all that throw away plastic stuff.

   For those who aren’t familiar, a typhoon is like a hurricane, only in/from the Pacific. The Pacific, which was named for being considerately calmer than the Atlantic.

   This is why I live in the Pacific Northwest. Sure, we have a volcano, but it doesn’t erupt all that often, and besides, it is well monitored and gives plenty of warning. Our last typhoon was in 1962, and our last flood was in 1995. Pretty calm here, overall.

   A long time ago, I had a modem/channel changer thingie on top of the tv. I would come home and the tv would be on, on the French channel. Couldn’t figure it out. Then one day while I was home, I saw my Siamese, Valentine, on top of the box, turning in circles, and settling down finally. In the process, she managed to turn on the tv, run through the channels to the last one, which was the French channel, of course. It was warm up there, especially with the unit turned on. Mystery solved!
