A favorite activity of ships' cats was stalking seagulls. The 1942 deck log of HMS Gorleston contains the odd entry "Kitten became airborne at 14:30." Sailors had seen their cat Rastus launch a suprise attack on a large gull and then take off clinging to the bird's leg. The gull circled the harbor until Rastus let go and fell into the water. He swam ashore and returned to the ship by walking up the gangway.

Paul Simon pays tribute to 9/11 by performing "The Sound Of Silence".
A native New Yorker, you can see the deep emotion in Paul's face as he sings.
Heartbreaking.

An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.

Raymond Chandler b otd 1888. The driest of wits:
“It was a blonde. A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window.”
“I'm an occasional drinker, the kind of guy who goes out for a beer and wakes up in Singapore with a full beard.”
“She had eyes like strange sins.”
