Summer is here, and I am enjoying these warm, clear days in the San
Juans.  It is wonderful to be surrounded by happy animals who are
enjoying life as much as I am.

I posted a web page with some pictures I took yesterday and the day
before.  You can view it at:

www.geocities.com/wilkes_charlie/animal_farm.htm

Purrs to all.

This is what it said when I went there:

"The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data
transfer."

I'm under the impression that it is OK to post cat-related material
and links to more than one cat-related newsgroup.  Is there a FAQ or
charter that says otherwise?

It is fine to post the story of your pets at your island place both here
and in anecdotes, where it is certainly on-topic.

Some people there have asked that we do not crosspost, but given
the behavior of many members of the group I see no reason to honor
any request they make. (Compliance with their wishes is a courtesy
I have done them in the past, but, again, I see no reason to do it now.)

Tell me, does Tweaker travel well? And does she seem flipped out
by the change?

It's a stupid request in the first place.

>Tell me, does Tweaker travel well? And does she seem flipped out

He.  Tweaker is very much a male, just as Holly is very much a female.
He's rowdy, she's not.

He travels wonderfully.  He is quiet in the cat carrier, and he likes
riding in the car.  He didn't get flipped out, but rather seemed to
enjoy every new experience.  He is very sociable.  He loves people and
dogs.  

I'm back on the mainland for a dentist's appt., and Tweaker is back in
his kitty bed, dozing away, just as he was before we left this
morning.  

I think having Holly in the equation helps with the travelling cat
thing.  Tweaker has two important relationships -- with me and with
her.  If both of us are with him, I think he is happy to go anywhere.

Yet another good point. Yahoo groups are good for private clubs.
Usenet is not. It was never intended to be. The netcop anecdotes
a.sholes (and you know who you are) have gotten a false sense
of both security and power because those who really could burst
their little bubble have left them alone, mainly because they are
a) amusing and b) completely vulnerable, spilling their guts all
over a global forum. They are in for a good lesson if anyone
decides to give it to them. But I'll leave that for others who have
sufficient interest to do so.

I have no idea how I missed that. How much does he weigh? For some
reason he looks small, like a little girl tabby.

You really lucked out. He could have had absolutely any kind of
personality, the way you found and rescued him.

Sounds like a wonderful arrangement.

How long does it take you to get to the mainland from your
place on the island? And what sort of travel does it entail?

Can you believe those flower shots? I love wild gardens like that.

The evidence suggests someone intentionally used up my quota so others
would be unable to view the pictures.

I checked the records.  It appears one individual using Windows NT 5.1
repeatedly hit the site and used up my free-site quota.  

I suppose I can contact geocities and ask them to block the offending
IP or domain.  I'd rather not, but clearly I am up against a crowd
that plays by different rules, and I will adapt as necessary.

Okay, I just saw it.  Beautiful!!!!!!!!  Everyone looks very happy in
their idyllic surroundings.  Nice dedicatory opportunity.

Aren't those flowers amazing?

Hey Charlie, are there snakes on the island?

We have small ones that don't bite.  Black or brown with a pale yellow
stripe, I believe.  They provide a good opportunity for dog-training.
Holly won't go near them.

They ought to make good cat toys then!

Yeah, looks like they did it soon as Charlie put it up.
dirty dawgs!

I'm suprised Philip can even see the screen, his apt
must be pretty charred and blacked up by now.

It's a one-time trick.  Geocities will block that whole domain if it
keeps happening.  I don't even have to notify them; it is done with a
script.  

This content rationing is a hoax anyway; they want customer pages to
get lots of hits, but they also want to sell service upgrades.

They are a great play match.  Holly is the only dog Joey can really
play with the way he wants to play, which is rough.  Holly loves it
too.  She is bigger, and she is far quicker and more agile.  She can
control him, but it's usually more fun to let him do his worst.

The page works I see.. Kewl!

A single tear coursed down my cheek.

I was so moved, I have arranged to have Ruprecht shipped out first
thing in the morning.

He loves to have his back scratched to be ready!

Thanks Charlie! You the man!
