Our dear little lady Luna is two years old on Saturday.
(My initial name suggestions were “Juno” and “Omaha” as she was born on the eightieth anniversary of the Normandy landings - I knew men who were there. Luna was the third option I offered, and it’s the name that stuck.)
Saturday is the opening of a weekly outdoor market nearby. Our Maine Coons went with us most weekends last year and became “local celebrities.” This year we’ll pile them in the stroller again, along with the third who joined us in November, and they’ll be off to meet their adoring public. Does me good to see how much joy they bring to people.
Our little man Nimbus (3 mo.) came home on Monday, and Luna (almost 13 mo.) seems to have jumped well into the “big sister” role. (Same parents, different year, or as I like to say “kitter from another litter”.)
My wife and I have a Moluccan cockatoo and an Indian ringneck.
Think of parrots as very demanding, often destructive, toddlers that never grow up and have no “inside voice.” They will make you thank whatever god you follow that you can get subtitles on your television.
A second-hand (pre-Cerberus/Freedom Group) Remington 1100 or 11-87 in twenty-gauge. I am partial to the “special field” version with the straight grip.
Any adjustable LOP would be aftermarket, or you can have her measured and get the factory stock altered by a competent gunsmith. Note that I wrote “gunsmith,” not “AR assembler” - the two are conflated far too often these days.

Always liked Lew Zealand (and his boomerang fish act). Not necessarily “favorite,” but few remember him…

Obligatory Cat Tax, in the form of our Nimbus:
Of course. Makes the food taste better.
(I do that with the table marker things at Chick-Fil-A too…)
Good heavens, she’s absolutely adorable. I have a soft spot for dilute torties and calicos…
That’s a foster fail waiting to happen if ever I saw one.
Obligatory cat tax: Here’s our lovely Heather, courtesy of the Cat Distribution System.
That looks lovely. I’d need to substitute a plain sausage as I’ve an aversion to fennel, but I doubt that’s substantial harm done…
Yum yum Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee Luna
I love Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee Luna
Yum yum Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee Luna
I love to snuggle Luna Bumble Bee!
See Mephiskapheles’ “Bumble Bee Tuna Song” - ‘cause she’s my Luna fish.
Exactly. That’s why they are so very effective.
The trap is set…
Very sweet.
When police asked about Don Vito’s “business interests,” the suspect’s only response was “who?”
They’re Maine Coon Cats, in what we’ve learnt is a rather rare color - “blue silver shaded”. Luna is already fourteen pounds…

Cocoa Hoots cereal. Loved those; fifty years on and I still remember how they tasted…
I remember, and miss them. My grandma always had them around back in the mid-seventies, and they were the treat of all treats.
She always had Buc-Wheats cereal in the pantry too.

I remember that. (I was a senior in high school when I first saw it on TRS-80 model 3s, so it must have been 1985 or so.)
I also remember editing the source so you could both pick any name for your country and skew the RNG results in your favor with a flag.
