Trivia

 

 

Cats are one of the top threats to US wildlife including birds, mice, shrews, voles, squirrels and rabbits. The domestic cat's killer instinct has been well documented on many islands around the world. It is estimated that cats have contributed to the extinction of 33 different species globally.

About two hundred feral cats prowl the park at Disneyland, doing their part to control rodents.

 

 

My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

 

Nice fall day.

Headed out to get some shopping done, then stopped to get my other two tires on my vehicle. Much faster than last time…I had an appointment this time. My only reaction to my Covid booster was a little soreness at the injection site. I’m OK with that.

I’m ready for a relaxing weekend. I’m sure something will come up to do. The joy of retirement.
