Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
On 18 Dec, a very large cat showed up at our house. It was late and cold, and he looked in the door and made it clear he wanted inside. Well, since we have two cats already and he was a stranger, we...

Drove to Homer on Tuesday. Saw a lot of interesting things along the way, but the clouds totally obscured any view of the volcano chain across Cook Inlet. Then on the way back, we saw two bull moose and a cow and calf, all grazing along the roadside. Luckily, there were adequate places to pull off the road and get some photos each time. One day, WLToo will share them with me and I'll post a photo or two.
When we got back, Spotacus was on the dashboard, glaring at the dog across the grassy span between us and dog's fifth wheel. Pretty dog. But Spotacus has decided to glare at all the dogs passing by. Well, it gives him something to do when we're out and about.
Short and Tall Friend headed for Seward and a day cruise. I was not willing to leave Spotacus alone that long, so we'll go over to my cousin's place today, after we get the blanket out of the dryer. We're taking a crawdad stuffed chicken for dinner, with Ranch Style beans and riced cauliflower -- just need to use their stove.
Tomorrow, WLToo and TF are going salmon fishing on the Kasilof River for WLToo's birthday. I'll rearrange the stuff in the RV, now that we've used up a fair amount, so it's more secure in movement. Then we'll head back north, toward Denali and Fairbanks.
I've been keeping our library staff apprised of where we are and what we're doing. They asked us to do a "lunch and learn" presentation this fall. "Texans on the Alaska Highway" is the tentative title, since we'll spend more time on the highway itself than in/around Alaska. We're taking lots of photos, in the hope that a few will be share worthy.
Yesterday, we met a docent at the Soldotna Pioneer Heritage Museum. She's 98 and one of the first to homestead, in 1945, what became Soldotna. She and her husband walked 65 miles from Seward to stake their homestead, then raised their kids in primitive conditions until electricity finally arrived some years later. She moved around the site faster than we did. We should all be so active and lively at our own ages, much less at 98... I think she's the most interesting Alaskan anything I've encountered to date.
Dryer's done, time to take chicken to cousin's. Later, y'all.
