Winter Blues and More Mews


Early evening meows, my heart-beautiful and fierce-spirited KitKats... milder temps on the winter-sleeping tame prairie... however, earlier this afternoon the gorgeous sky was crisscrossed with aerial spraying, or what is commonly called chemtrails... X’s and parallel lines and huge white-trail arcs... this Big Cat so wishes she had a way to knock the planes out of the air, or vanish them permanently ~sad dispirited sighs~ not only that, some morons bashed moi’s mailbox so its bent out of shape and now unusable... most likely, they were trying to knock it off the post... however, this Big Cat had it wrapped with braided wire... so, the crapping idiots failed... and unfortunately, when moi used a hammer to reshape it, she was only partly successful... but, at least, it’s closed for now. ~another dispirited sigh~ oh, if only she’d been crouched and ready to spring, she would have clawed deep long gauges into their flesh, and bitten hunks out of their butts.

Winter Blues and More Mews ~ Apologies, for the downer bloggie... but, oh, Kittens, the world gets sadder and sadder... not only for so many folks who are out of a job, out of a home, and worse [mostly through no fault of their own]... but, the BLM continues their wholesale capture and slaughter of wild horses that are healthy and who are being removed from land that is NOT endangered, and could support them. On top of that, the wild horse genetics are being slaughtered, as well, since their needs to be enough of a population to keep the genetics viable.

However, it’s not only the wild horses who are being targeted for destruction by THOSE who are ruled by greed and stupidity, but other beautiful and incredible domestic breeds of animals... as well, these criminal psychopaths are decimating other wild animal populations...and, of course the plant kingdom is in danger, as well, especially crop plants since Monsanto wants world domination through their terminator seeds and GMO trash crops that have already ruined lives wholesale in India, and other third-world countries, and caused high levels of farmer suicide.

Yes, this Big Cat has the winter blues. And the list of reasons why just gets longer and longer these days. ~does she ever wish she had super powers~

Lower my inhibitions…
by Taige Crenshaw

"I love it when a plan comes together." As Col. John Hannibal Smith from the A-Team would say. {yeah this is an old fav TV show)

I was thinking about the A-Team the other day. If you ever watched the show you know rarely did any of the schemes the team came up with worked out how they expected. Yet in the end they still succeeded in foiling the bad guy or alluding capture.

From Astrology.com ~

As 2010 comes to an end, Mars and Saturn will meet up on Dec 29th to remind us that there are still a couple more lessons we need to learn before we can finally welcome the New Year.

This past December has been a bit of a rollercoaster with some good times mixed with some challenges. That's to be expected of any month, but there's a good chance that these challenges seemed more, well, challenging this month than usual. As if afraid of feeling left out, Mars and Saturn have teamed up to add to that pile of December dilemmas. Tempting though it may be to allow these events to frustrate you, keep in mind that this is the Universe's version of tough love. Your ability to look these challenges in the face and take them on, one-by-one, doesn't just make it easier for you to deal with problems later; it also makes the good times that much better.

Mars is the planet of war, and it wants to toughen you up, while sensible Saturn wants you to learn discipline. It might help to think of your approach to problems as a muscle in your body. The more time you spend stretching and training and building your muscle, the more useful and functional it will be. How you deal with problems requires the same sort of training. The more challenges you successfully tackle, the easier they become. This month has helped you develop an internal resilience, and the test that Mars and Saturn present you will help hammer home the life skills the Universe has planned for you right now.

More specifically, you can expect delays, setbacks and possibly accidents. The accidents, if they happen, will result from frustrations that distract you, and this lack of focus could result in accidents. As with the earlier transits of the month, the best way to deal with these energies is to hone all of your attention - at least to the extent possible - on one particular project. Show discipline and initiative with respect to this project, and you'll increase your odds of skating through this planetary alignment with as few unwanted side effects as possible.

On a more pleasant note, Mercury will go direct again on December 30th, which means all those communication, electronic and travel issues should ease off. Just in time for a pleasant and happy New Year!

Happy Courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 730 ~

Sylva tilted her head in question. “Yes, dear, we have one that links up with the Center.” Ginger smiled. Something clicked in Sylva’s memory as she returned Ginger’s smile. “Zeke mentioned an ancient tunnel system linking up to an underground railway. And discovered silver mines.” Marina faced her, her eyes crinkling at the corners with good-natured merriment. “Sure enough. But that’s supposed to be a secret among several of us area ranchers. Just goes to show what a man will divulge when under the influence of his new bride.” Sylva tucked her legs beneath her. “I sure won’t tell anyone.”

Zeke put his thoughts in order. He wanted like all sweet hell to get the hell outta here, and back to his bride. Back to his family, and his beloved horses. “Yup, shoot it straight, Zeke.” Sheriff Big Gun focused his gaze, and Zeke knew his mind was on record. Hauling in a breath, Zeke shot it straight at the target with just a few minor details left out.” After a long moment of gazing into the far distance, Big Gun gave him a piercing look. “Heard you and your dad was at the Center recently.” Zeke nodded. “I was.”

Oh those winter blues are cumbersome beasts. So much bad in the world that could be such a lovely place...

Ah, but you do have superpowers, Lady Kougar...you have the power of love and caring. A power that in the end will beat out all the evil in the world around us.
((Curling, Warm, Kitteny hugs))
