Non-Autumnal

The heat these days has a way of penetrating. Even when I'm sitting in the shade these afternoons, my skin feels a bit like it has the day after I've gotten a sunburn, or when I've stood too close to a fire. Even though many days of summer were hotter, these are more oppressive. I'll be glad when this heat wave has passed.

Here's something I find fascinating. Artist Richard Jackson (The New York Times calls him a neo-dadaist) has a project in which he recreates Seurat's famous Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte using a most unusual technique. Here's a set of photos displaying Jackson's unique approach and the results.

Brave kitten now visits the front yard in the evenings and doesn't even run from me until I get within six or seven feet. Portia is not pleased. This evening he even tried moving toward her as she was coming to the front door. I hope he doesn't become as much a problem to her as the gray cat is, but I suspect he will. He thinks this is his territory. I probably have a long time of being watchful coming. Oh, cats!

that brave kitten dang well better leave portia alone. it'd be bad karma for him to hassle her. grrrr.

So far brave kitten seems more curious about Portia than hostile toward her, but she growls and hisses every time she sees him. I think he's puzzled because his experience so far has been that other cats are nice. He has much to learn.
