The World's Biggest Fish Fry is going on in town, and it is hard to miss! Especially, since we live a few blocks from downtown!
This morning, I was going through the crowd to the post office to mail my Mom's owl magnets, and drop off a Netflix -- when I saw kittens that I knew (Willow-doppleganger striped manx girl, very distinctive!) going by in someone else's hands! Our boss had brought the kittens to the Catfish Races to give away -- so I took pictures of the crowd and the strange ritual of racing catfish down long plexiglas tubes...

Winners received mardi-gras necklaces with plastic catfish strung on them.

All but two of the kittens were given away. It is nice to see them have good homes! The little wild one (dark gray manx girl) is going to be a shop cat at a place not three blocks from here ;o)!!!
I want to get this done today:
1. blue mommy softie
2. 3 red bird softies (DONE)
3. blue gingham kitty softie
I'm off to my own races!
