Within ten minutes, Maggie has defeated the automatic feeder.
Maggie likes to try and wake me up early for breakfast. Spraying her with the water bottle hasn’t dissuaded her, so now I put her out on the porch. I have read that an automatic feeder could distract her attention: instead of bugging me she’ll watch vigilantly over the feeder. And since we’ll be out of town for two weeks in May it would be a worthwhile investment.
Alas, this PetSafe Electronic Pet Feeder didn’t last ten minutes before she was able to break in and get the kibble. I’m proud of her. But I’m looking forward to finding a feeder that will keep her entertained without bothering me in the morning.

Go figure.
IT’S EARTH DAY, Good Friday, and the birthday of Marxist Vladimir Lenin. The stock market is closed but some banks are open. Go figure.
If Lenin were alive today, he would be collecting Social Security.

When a Tree falls in the Apartment Complex, does it damage your porch? (Ours was spared.)
The scene last August at the Avalon at Creekside Apartment Complex. Nobody was hurt, as far as I know.
When we returned from Thanksgiving Holiday in November, we learned that Avalonbay Communities was evicting us over a billing error on their part. I have been thinking to make a YouTube video to explain that ridiculous affair.

A view from Twin Peaks
We found ourselves in the city with time on our hands, but no money. Mei had not been to Twin Peaks. I fixed that.
I was mucking with Gimp. The fog looks like smog.
