Enjoyed a small Snap Dragon apple, and my last smoke of the day is year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was my first Sasieni. Bought it at my local Tinderbox for $9.95. Western North Carolina still hasn't recovered from Hurricane Helena. My local news broadcast a story about a couple who lost everything in the storm and still haven't recovered after a year. They lost their cat and feared it had died, but they never stopped looking for it. On November 8, the cat suddenly reappeared. Here's the story:
M’lady and I got tired of keeping Norton crying and banging on the door while locked up in the bathroom when we feed the others wet food. We decided it was unfair to the li’l fella because he obviously ate wet food from whoever abandoned him. Sometimes, he’d go to the kitchen, refuse dry food, and cry for wet food. He deserves better than that, and trying to save some bucks isn’t worth his sadness.
Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave came in for their wet food. I think Daisy was a tad put off by Norton the Nosey eating near Tomato and her, so she didn’t finish her food. She’s not a big eater most of the time. I gave her some attention and she wanted out. I saw her go to the empty food dish outside, and she looked back at me. I knew what that meant, so I put down some treats for her to eat, which she happily ate. Tomato got some attention from me after he ate and then he wanted out. Before that happened, Norton came up to him, and they sniffed and touched noses without incident. That’s the first time that has happened.
Harry the Hairy came back when Tomato went out, and I had to keep them away from each other to avoid a fight. Harry doesn’t get wet food, and he doesn’t seem to care or notice. He’s not a big eater either. When he came to the den, Norton tried to do the same thing that he did to Tomato. An hour before this, Harry took three swipes at Norton and scared him off. This time, they sniffed and touched noses without any trouble. I noticed that Norton seemed to do so affectionately as to signal that he wants to be friends with Harry. Harry walked away and immediately went out.
They are everything I ever thought they would be. If I have one wish, it would be to get an original 4AB that hopefully wasn't ghosted to death.
