Friday cat: Packet

Posted By on September 26, 2008 at 5:23 pm

Packet takes great delight in parking himself on my desk or on an adjacent work table, just within arm’s reach, for a thorough head-skritching.

He usually manages to knock everything in his path off the desk or table.
And he always seems to look pretty pleased with himself.



For additional Friday cat viewing opportunities, the Modulator’s Friday Ark is always recommended.
On Sunday, the Carnival of the cats is at Chey’s Place.
And of course, you can (and should) visit the Cat Blogosphere every day.

How we got to where we are

I’m not an idiot, but neither am I an economist. So I talked with my brother (the finance executive) today and we chatted about the current news from Wall Street and Washington.
I still don’t understand it all, but I have a better idea about what’s going on.
I sent him the link to this video:

It makes sense to me, but I’m more interested in what my brother the banker has to say about it.
