C.: Well, I suppose d.c. will be here in a few minutes. I sent him an email explaining that Mom and Dad’s internet was down, so he would need to do the blog by himself today…. That sounds wrong. I would call him if I had any minutes left on my prepay card, but I spent all of those trying to call the cable supplier to get the internet fixed. I emailed them, too, but that didn’t work, for obvious reasons. I think they say that so that they won’t have to fix anything!
Wait, if I couldn’t email the cable carrier, how could I email d.c.? He has the same internet provider that Mom and Dad do, so his internet is probably down, too. Hmm, maybe I should just try to reach him by mental telepathy. Cats are good at that. Let me give you some examples.
I send a message to Mom and Dad to feed me every morning as soon as I get home from work. When I wake up, there’s always food in my bowl! And, I put a “do not disturb'' sign on my brain before i go to sleep. No one in my house ever tries to wake me up.They know better than that!
My employer can always tell when I need more money, because they give me extra shifts without me even having to ask for them! It works out well, because d.c. is the only person n this planet who know that I can talk. That’s why I believe he can receive my message by just concentrating hard enough.
Hmm. Maybe he’s still at work. The Kennel has concrete barriers all around its perimeter. That keeps the inmates from being able to send signals to people on the outside by mental telepathy. It works well. No inmates have been successful in sending out signals to get anyone to help them escape yet. They probably will tell the recipients that there are well-armed guards with high powered rifles in the pickets if they do get through to anyone on the outside. That’s probably why no one has tried to escape yet. Or, it could be because they like it inside of The Kennel. Who wouldn’t?
Inmates are guaranteed a place to sleep (although not necessarily a comfortable one)> They get good food three times a day, and their medical needs are taken care of even if they don’t have the money to pay for services. And the aroma smells delicious all the time. Between the food, and garbage that I smell everyday when I go to work, it’s an ideal place for a cat to work! They even feed me some of the rodents they catch. That’s a great bonus!
And now, the inmates have iPads to watch movies and make internet calls with. Each inmate can use the iPad, provided s/he has the money in his commissary account to pay for it. The state then collects the money, so it’s a win-win situation. I wonder what happens to the money the inmates pay to make calls and watch movies on their iPads, though. It seems to disappear from their accounts, never to be seen again. Imean, really. It doesn’t cost anything to make a phone call anymore, and the movies are already paid for. I wonder if the money goes to the people who came up with the idea?
Anyway, d.c. should be back tomorrow, provided his internet is working. He doesn’t want to use someone else’s, like I’m doing right now. They don’t seem to mind, though….garble garble garble garble
