A Little Piece of String

         We have a cat.  Clutter may be characteristic of Cat people.  We sure have a clutter problem.  This afternoon I bought a 16# bag of Purina Cat Chow.  We work 3 cats, 1 at our home, 2 at the Hotel (and the Old Abalone Pub).   We run 2 lidded cat chow pitchers in the servicing of the 3 said, fed, cats. 

         So I am in the laundry room with a 16# bag of feline kibble.[1] and an empty 5 gallon bucket.  The seasoned feline chummer will tell you opening a larger bag of kitty kibble is not an easy thing.  Some bags are glued shut with a by the #’s opening aire.  Most are sewed shut with an impossible ripcord system.  I did it right and ended up with a 6’ length of red string which languishes near me on my desk. I can’t shit-can it, it has use value.  I’ll put it in my desk next to my sparking orbs.
