Ah yes, that Cat.
The one that ran off with the Classified Ads section.
So let me see....the Unexpected Rhesus Monkey has us cornered between a comfortable Chair with a Classified Advert reading Cat in it and a Table with an Artistically inclined Cat sat on it.
Hmm, this is tougher than playing chess with Gary Kasparov.

Wine we can afford, not what’s advertised in the WSJ along with houses bigger than my whole neighborhood.

This could be a laugh, I’ll get a spare keyboard plugged in.

LOL! We can set him up as an election blogger ... we’ll be a sensation! Jake and Shannon get in a knock-down drag-out over Trump (Jake likes him, but Shannon thinks he’s tacky), and the monkey does the play-by-play.

And post the whole thing in Breaking News.
There we go, we’ve “Castled the King” and survived the logic attack from the Drunken unexpected Rhesus Monkey by giving him a job to do.
The Cats Discuss politics in good old traditional FR style ,with a Knock-down and Drag-out. So we can slink off into a quiet corner and enjoy our Yogurt in peace.

Perfect end to a perfect day!
I’m going to get pajamas on and find out why four children are Suspiciously Quiet. Hope you have a good night and a good tomorrow!

I fear the Little Red Riding Thing is down for the count.
I will attempt to give it a stern talking to again in the daylight, but it just might have finally succumbed to its ingestion of assorted carburetor parts two summers ago.
Or it just might be that I tried to do a quick-and-dirty valve adjustment by braille without taking the cowling off so I could actually see what I was doing. Except that it did not appear to need a valve adjustment when I opened it up..
I will strip it of its clothing, er, cowling when I revisit it and see if it can be resurrected. Again.
Aside: When it ingested its assorted carburetor parts and I rebuilt the carburetor I opted not to remove the head to see what really happened fearing that if I did it would never run again. Up till now it has been starting but using lots of oil - an indication that it was on borrowed time.
I’ve been searching replacement engines on Ebay.. A new one costs the same as what I paid for the entire Red Riding Thing sevenish years ago but I found a used one 3/4 of the way across PA for a more reasonable fee.. Probably get that one if things don’t get rosier in the daylight.
I did look for decent used riding mowers within 150 miles (that’s about all the farther I want to go to pick one up towing my trailer, and out beyond a hundred miles it needs to be a really really really good deal) but nothing of note surfaced.

Well, that is very sad news. It’s unfortunate that it would give up the ghost just when you needed to mow, too.

The history of the Finno-Ugric language studies is rather like the Hundred Years War raging in a very tiny segment of a small segment of academia. It's a swamp last I heard.
Finns and Estonians understand one another but, IIRC, Hungarians do not. Hungarian was at one time classed as a branch of the Turkic group. I lost track after Pete departed. I do recall that Hungarian had a complex grammer with something like 18 noun cases....

You spoke of monsoons. Are they anything such as this one viewed from a news helicopter over Phoenix?

Since there were no news bulletins on Drudge, I assumed that none of your cats were involved in trampolining.
Rubbing a ballon over a cats fur to show the effects of static electricity is all well and good. Huge rubber drum heads, well, things happen.

What a pain.
Here’s hoping for a simple ,quick fix. (Fingers crossed).
“one 3/4 of the way across PA “
Is it Horse drawn?

That picture over Phoenix looks like something Biblical.
