It rained here for a large part of the day.

It's stopped raining at the moment, and I think I heard them say that the evening parade(s) would go as planned.

However, based on the news clips shot at the French Quarter during the wet part of the day, people's spirits have not been dampened.

As for me--it was definitely an IUD. I did this and that around the house, then headed out to Arby's for a take-out supper.

I have two feline companions in my office/computer room. The giant male is making sure that the lid on my printer doesn't fly off. And my Calico Cutie (CC) is taking advantage of the squishiness of an old shirt that got tossed onto the papasan.

Because of the rain, my trash man didn't pick up my stuff today. The "sanitary land fill" is not open when it rains. He'll fill his truck, then make the land fill his first stop before picking up from the rest of his route once it has stopped raining.

Anyway, he knows I don't make much trash and the world won't end if he skips a day.

Feline update: giant male has relocated himself to the floor, about in the middle of the "path" from the computer to the door. He is a very sociable cat, and I'm glad he adopted me.

And that's about all I can squeeze out of my IUD.
