It’s not quite Spring yet, but it kinda feels like it today. I honored the pleasant weather with this:
I’ve also opened some windows. The cats haven’t connected the two events yet, but they will.

Amazon Boycott
There has been an organized amazon boycott underway for the last week. It started on the 7th of March and ends today on the 14th. I have been as successful as I can be in joining the boycott. I haven’t shopped at amazon or knowingly shopped at a site that amazon owns. I haven’t watched anything on amazon prime video. I haven’t knowingly used the news services they own, or even used imdb. The most difficult part was not using audible while driving in and out of Boston and to and from work this week. I am a bit of an audiobook junkie when I am driving and not touching my audible account was a little tough.
The question I have is, did I unknowingly use amazon web services? I think a huge chunk of the internet is hosted by amazon. There’s a good chance that I went somewhere that is paying money to amazon for their web hosting needs. I don’t think I could have avoided that at all. Hell, for all I know this very page is hosted by amazon. I hope not, but who knows?
For the things that I could actually control though, I have managed to play along. I just have to continue not giving amazon any business until midnight tonight. I can do it.
In the meantime, here’s a photo a day picture of a cat. Hopefully Flickr, the site I use to host the images you see on this goofy little page, is not hosted by the amazons. That would be disappointing.
Windows Open
The temperature hit 60 degrees today (Fahrenheit) so I opened the windows. Robin Sparkles approves.
Confused Cats
They had the house to themselves last night and I expect there was a great deal of confusion. They are trying to shrug it off today though. Look at them being all calm, cool, and collected… now that I am home again.
Are You Getting Tired of This?
I sincerely hope that you, my dear readers, are not getting tired of constant pictures of cats looking lazy and uninterested in the world around them…
Because I am not going to stop posting them… ever.
Prelude
They were playing nicely together, grooming each other like good cats.
Five minutes later they were trying to decapitate each other. Oh well.
Nap
She looks like I feel.
Fluff and Fuzz
I’m thinking about giving the cats new nicknames. Fluffy and Fuzzy, or Fluff and Fuzz for short. I just don’t know which cat should get which nickname.
Windy
It is so windy out right now that one of our big metal patio chairs was just blown over. I didn’t think that was possible. One of the bird feeders blew away as well. I don’t see it anywhere. I’m going to have to go outside and see if I can find it along the tree line. I hope the wind doesn’t blow me away, though it might be fun to feel like I’m flying for a few seconds.
The cats are disturbed by the noise of the wind. Just wait until the second contractor of the day shows up and see how much more disturbing that will be to your little feline brains.
Hidden
We had a contractor in the house today. The cats did what they always do when there are new people around… they hid. Lily has been hiding in a closet all day. Robin came into the office with me and hung out rather than finding an actual hiding place. I guess she thought that I would protect her. I would have, if need be. Of course I would have.
