Gee, I just posted "down" messages on folkinfo.org and rec.music folk.

Thanks, Max.

FAST? I have been waiting since 3am EST. Lucky it was fine weather. I had to go for a walk around Heybridge Basin and cream tea to console myself.

Nice to have the litter box changed every once in a while.

Cheerily,

Bet that was a nice walkabout, though, VT. (There's not as many above-the-line thread-links now, it seems.)

Thought it was a goner
But the 'Cat came back
'Cause it couldn't stay away.

Yup, I missed her (but my aim is getting better).

I concur, Joe.
Having said that,
the "Mudcat is really Brigadoon" thread
has made for a lot of amusement.

Worth adding a link to the Brigadoon thread in this thread's header .... ?

Many many MANY thanks to Max D Spiegel,
I thought we had lost the 'Cat for sure.

Imprudent, it seems to me,
to take the 'Cat for granted.

I can't quite grasp why you think we might have "lost the 'Cat" when Mudcat has temporarily disappeared, for reasons we've had explained to us, numerous times in recent months. The fact that I trust that absences are always temporary does not mean that I take this website for granted, thanks. I do not.

We shouldn't take anything for granted.

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

You never know what might happen, so love the 'Cat while it's here and don't assume that it will never go away. It might be here for another 25 years or so, or it might not.

Looking for the tail number N4BA of a tri-engine, ten passenger jet, I stumbled across a "plane spotter" on the outskirts of London that uses a "raspberry pi" to record EVERY plane (even anonymous reg) that passes overhead.

The "pi" series are under $100.
Great fun!

Sincerely,

giga/tera are NOT required ... just a splice .

"The cat crept in [crapped] and crept out again"

I said a hey you guys
Look who's awaitin' outside.
Well she got style you can see it in her feline eyes.
When she starts movin' you sure can tell
When she starts shakin' she's raisin' hell.

I said a hey you guys
Look who's awaitin' outside.
Do you remember how she left that floor last Saturday night.
When the cat broke loose well she darn near started the figh
Well she may be flashin' like a neon sign
But you can't touch her 'cause she's mine all mine.

I said a hey you guys
Look who's awaitin' outside.
And then the cat crept in and crept out again
The cat crept in and crept out again
So I open the door for that high-heeled paw
I said the cat crept in
Ooh
And crept out again.
I said the cat crept in and we crept out again.

I said a hey you guys
Look who's awaitin' outside...
Hey you guys
You can hear that alley cat cry
Well she ain't superstitious but she's hangin' on life No. 9
Well you may not know it but she hides in the light
And she may not know it but this cat can bite

I said a hey you guys
Look who's awaitin' outside.
And then the cat crept in and crept out again...
I said a hey you guys
Look who's awaitin' outside...
Hey you guys
Look who's waiting outside
She got style you can see it in her feline eyes
Well she may be flashin' like a neon sign
But you can't touch her 'cause she's mine all mine.

I said a hey you guys
Look who's awaitin' outside.
And then the cat crept in and crept out again...

It's still a bit hit and miss. It's best to save any long posts elsewhere before hitting send.
