the_old_man_and_his_cat
pete the cat trap is finally gone from the front lawn, though the house is still boarded up and i remember the days when the kids threw out all his belongings, and the earlier time when the bylaw enforcement officers showed up in two vans and leveled their unknown verdict against the house and its occupants.

be free sir, be free cat.

Strideo now you can find them sailing_the_sea and having fantastic adventures.

the cat wears a monicle now, it does nothing for his eyesight but it just feels right. the old man seems frail but he is still handy. when pirate monkeys_attack his sword will push them back.

the cat smokes his pipe and the man reads his books and together they travel to a far off land.
