8759 - kitty tigger - found in our yard

kitty tigger, originally uploaded by scottobear.

Tigger's collar has a phone number that's disconnected. He's very affectionate, and I played with him for a while, hoping that his owner would come around looking for him. No dice, so I've put out a little bowl of food for him and am calling around to the local animal people to see if anyone knows who he is, and where he belongs.

[edit-update: Tigger's a neighborhood cat, who lives mostly out in the woods. Apparently he makes a good living visiting folks and eating food set out for him, and the occasional mouse and mole. I hate that he's an outside cat, but this region is moderately safe... I guess he'll continue to live out and about, unless someone adopts him. I'm a huge softie, and am liable to do it myself, if another family doesn't come by soon.. I don't know how Pye and Newt would deal with a third brother in the house.]

8760 - week's end

Loving life in North Beach these days. It's absolutely beautiful outside...I still fear a little bit for Tigger, but our street isn't a major thoroughfare, so his risk is less than when we were at the blue house. I expect we'll get any remaining stuff from there this weekend, unless something comes up for more fun recreation. We're having David and his girlfriend Gill come over for the following weekend, so I expect some cleaning up may happen before then.

Lunar Eclipse this weekend! (Sat night). Hopefully BHK and I will be down y the bay to check it out.

If you live in the eastern U.S. and Canada, you'll see the eclipse in progress at nightfall. If you're east of the Mississippi River, you'll see the Moon rise while still in totality. But you may find it very difficult to spot the lunar disk at all while it's still very low in the sky. So, if your weather permits, note where moon rise occurs along the horizon on the evening before the eclipse; on March 3rd the eclipsed Moon will rise very close to that location.

Two other total lunar eclipses occur within the next 12 months: the one on August 28, 2007, favors viewers in western North America and Canada;the Moon sets just after it fully enters the umbra for most viewers on the Atlantic Coast. An eclipse on February 20, 2008, should be viewable in the evening for virtually everyone in North America.
