I took a trip to the central part of the state a few days ago. It was miserably hot and humid for so early in the summer. I stopped at super fuel plaza mostly to get cheap gas. Now the exit off I-40 there has about ten of those big truck plazas on either side of the road both north and south of the interstate. It was busy as hell all up and down the road, every gas station was crammed, it was hot, everyone had to wait to gas up and to top it off I saw a red-haired, big hair lady cut somebody off in the line at another pump and give them the bird as I got in line and DAMN! she had a big skanky looking hairless cat riding on her shoulder. But she looked even worse than her cat. She finished gassing up and pulled into the parking area as I waited in line to fuel. Another damn! only one spot left and right next to her car. Well, I parked and paid for the gas and then went into the crouch and gobble. She had left that stinking beast in her beat up lincoln with the windows up so I sat where I could watch the fun. She is over there in the back chowing down. At least the store was fast. I got my burger and water and worked through my bad choice burger watching the cat panic. As I was paying a few minutes later I noticed bighair was wedging herself into the ladies room. Outside, the cat is in extremis in the black car, so with a quick look around and the coast clear, I open the door. Softie at heart, I guess. The cat mows like a dying fox and takes off staggering for the plaza across the road. Pedro, from the Quatro Cousinos Trucking Company, and a cab full of helpers, liberated that cat from its earthly bounds, even while still accelerating the Green moving van.

Did you hang around long enough to see what BIGHAIR though of the 2lbs of burger meat that was once her beloved pet

Was wondering whether you were going to do the neighborly thing or just let the crat melt. My faith is restored, and no small thanks to the Quatro Moveronis! Job well done, NS.

In the Colorado Rockies
Where the snow is deep and cold
And a man afoot can starve to death
Unless he's brave and bold

Oh Alfred Packer
You'll surely go to hell
While all the others starved to death
You dined a bit too well

---from The Ballad of Alfred Packer

Was the cat's motto "Don't tread on me"?
