One of the ferals apparently went to the bedroom because Molly Danger ran over me loudly hissing and chasing a cat. The ferals usually know not to go to that room, but I suspect it was Abner the Eager. This woke me up, and since I couldn't go back to sleep, I went to the den where Abner was sitting near the hall entrance. He wanted to go out, so I'm sure he was the one Molly chased out. Anyway, as long as I'm awake, I'm smoking. A third of the way through this bowl of 1970s Heine's Blend in a cheap, undated, unbranded straight smooth dark brown short shank Made in France Los Alton VBF billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Cats, and their territorial aspirations, eh? A bed with warm humans in it seems to be the absolute summum bonum for any feline. When Mrs B and I had three, the geopolitics of who got to sleep where, were complex and frequently occasioned nocturnal alarms and excursions. After which, their response would usually be: "Since you're awake and up, how about an early breakfast?". By the way, cheap or not, I love the lines of that pipe: for some reason I'm a sucker for a subtle bend in the stem and a slightly canted bowl.
