I'm working semi-diligently on a new tool, designated CAT1. As evidence of my deteriorating mental state, I've put ASCII2 pictures of cats on every panel.
1I suggested naming it CHICKEN -- a bilingual pun. After I explained it, I was told that I was not allowed to name tools anymore.
2Actually EBCDIC, given that it's a mainframe tool.

Cats!
Today I got clean dishes out of the cabinets and put food and water in them. As I put the food dish on the floor, the dumbass Katie, who'd come into the kitchen to watch the prep, backed away hurriedly. "Hey, stupid, this is food", I said.

The youtiao proved to have been Not Bad. There are better choices for breakfast, but also worse onrd. -
What should I think about BESIDES my belly?
Feh. Gumby's Pizza in Normal appears to have closed. Their pizza was good (if incredibly greasy), but I was really looking forward to getting a cinnamon swirl to stash for breakfast. I'll have to settle for some youtiao from First Wok. -
For your dining pleasure
The Before Grain salmon food looked a little mushier than usual; when I put the dish on the floor, Katie backed away from it. However, she's now eating it, albeit with less noise than usual, so maybe she was just being a cat.
