United States Coast Guard Air Station Houston is a United States Coast Guard Air Station located 15 miles southeast of downtown Houston, Texas on board the Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base (JRB).

The weird part is that the silly cat is at least 6 years old, and he just now started this crazy thing. I’m going to have to find a way to get him to find another way to let me know he wants out. And, I guess I’m gonna have to get the old water squirt bottle back into use, too. Swatting him makes no impression. He’s well-padded. LOL!

It’s just the way they are. They’ll ignore something for years, then suddenly it’s a plaything. LOL

It does sound like it’s time to break the squirt bottle back out. :-)

Did you take Gizmo to sniff around the tree stumps or did y’all go somewhere different yesterday?

Well, at least he’s out tonight so I won’t be waked up at 3am with him attacking that poor shredded roll. LOL!

Walking around? That’s a change of pace. You usually have to chase him down. LOL

I reckon you’ll have chilly weather today, ahead of our chilly day Wed.
We wouldn’t mind if y’all just hang on to the cold for a while. :-)
