“Life is just a rodeo. The trick is to ride, make it to the bell.”
John Fogerty
Out of cat food, out of water, out of air in two tires. Tires were just low.
I put air in, some gas down Gracies throat. She is like me old rusty and needs a shot to get going on cold days. She needs gas like I need coffee.
I opened up the garage door to see what I expected. Driveway not done.
I made it out over the ice in my driveway. I arrived at the Village 15 minutes later.
There was an Alberta Government cheque waiting there. I grabbed my box of catfood and made the trip to town.
I bought a few groceries, tried to buy water there was none. JIC I bought a couple bags of cheap cat food. When I say cheap still more expensive than quality food online.
I was sore, tired, in pain and having a hardtime breathing. Then I heard Fogerty playing over the store speakers. I only heard the one line. I immediatley understood. I felt fortified and was able to make it through the rest of the day.
My next order was in Montreal postal warehouse or it had been sucked into a black hole. Or even better the black hole is in the warehouse. My next two bags of cat food were just on the edge where time slows down.
Some of my water is unloaded, the groceries are unpacked. I am laying down 3 cats are sitting on me to make sure I don’t float away.
As soon as I eat my cold pretend meat burger and have my cold coffee. I am going to fire up the ship and head to space.
