Well, things have been rather interesting lately.  I went to Oakland for a week and saw my (girl)friends and ate sushi and generally did not much.  It was great fun and thanks to the Fox for the roof and NP Val and her husband for the fun dinner and lift to the airport.  The flight was delayed because the Volaris staff doesn't know how to count.  After sitting in the plane for 45 minutes, they called roll - 92 passengers and they couldn't sort whatever their problem was in any other way.  Flying Elementary School is now in session.  We finally got to Guadalajara at 07:50 without incident - no-one got sent to the Principal's office - and interestingly enough, arrived "on time".  I take it that they meant the flight was actually 3 hours 50 minutes as planned, rather than that we got there at 06:50 as scheduled.  G was supposed to be on a flight from Hermosillo with the cat, arriving in Gdl at noon of the same day.  His aeroport staff didn't like the carrier, so he spent the day trying to find a carrier that they would accept and caught the flight the next day.  I spent the night with my friends in Gdl, met him at the aeroport and we caught a ride home with my Doctors, who were in Gdl for classes.  We are tired and very glad to finally be here.  There will be a return to Arizona in the near future to actually get our shit to Zamora, but some of us need to rest up a bit first.

The cats are another story.  They lived together for three years in California, and then apart for three years with Bruce and Shadow here in Zamora.  Now that Muttney is in the house, we have spitting and hissing and hurt feelings all 'round, and it is a pain in the ass for the two-leggers in the place.  Second day of guarded warfare - I hope they get their shit sorted soon, this pussy-footing around is boring.  They slink about the place in a crouch with their hackles up expecting to be ambushed at any second.  Shadow has a fabulous growl, though.  Unfortunately, he uses it at everyone, regardless of former amiable associations.  Felis e mobile, music by Verdi.

That is about it for now, the saga of getting the truck from California to Arizona will wait for another day.  Have to go buy food for the hissers now.
