Yeah, well I'd have a Corgi and a Lab with the cats if I could have dogs here. These are two neutered strictly indoor cats who are usually pretty hip about keeping quiet at night.

They go bonkers before and during quakes.

A ghost, eh? Hmm. Assuming your nick is accurate, do you believe in ghosts? I am in the undecided category leaning heavily into the doubt column but only because I have not seen one.

And, aw gee thanks for mentioning karmic retribution. I like Art Bell - he's like popcorn (or any junk food) for the mind - fun, silly, interesting, and much better than going to a scary movie.

But because you had to bring up karma I have turned off the radio. :P

Get those two puppies of yours on a leash. :)

I hear pets can tell when an earthquake is going to happen. Stand near the door jam when possible and prepare to make a break for it. Glad I don't have to worry about earthquakes - Whew! I am so lucky. All I have to worry about is the 600 foot wall of water (Tsunami) that they keep telling us will happen here on the east coast.


I know how to swim.

We have a ghost. A good guy.

My son many years ago said he is chinese and named him Charlie.

I did some research a the local historical society after locals telling my an asian man's tombstone was at the top of the hill one street over.

We have the smell of breakfest foods come into my son's room from time to time, two cieling lights that blink, the door to the garage will open then slam shut, yes there is a gust of wind. And my son knows when Charlie is watching out for him, I also can feel his presense.

About a month ago our Respite care worker went to take out the garbedge and a shadow of a man ran across the wall and out of the garage. SHe was white as a ghost!

History has it that Charlie (he has an asian name) was a cook on the boats that came into port and he lived up at the top of our hill with the Chinese RR workers camp even though he was not Chinese.

A vessell was sinking in the Bay and everybody got off safely and Charlie went to make a last check and found an 18 month old girl and rescued her.

Later that day he was found at the top of the hill in his shack hung, his feet touching the ground so it was obvious it was murder made to look like suicide.

We even saw the official papers sent to his country embassy to notify his family of his death. Hence the headstone up the hill on the land now owned by the Painter family.

Charlie is a good spirit.
