Holy puke on a stick, Batman! I think I'd rather risk a chocolate coin before eating that.

Seriously now, don't eat the coins. This means you, Canada.

Here's Syd enjoying one of his favorite songs. Whenever you hear that horrible scratchy quack like sound, it's actually him squawking at a very high decibel that my microphone doesn't seem to handle so well.

Well, after last week's dedication to our dead cat, I figured this week it's only right to celebrate the young and vibrant spirit that's alive and well in our little parrot.

Earlier this afternoon, the Committee for a Better Flint (CBF) held a news conference at their campaign headquarters to announce intentions to submit to the Genesee County Clerk the many hundreds of petitions and thousands of signatures seeking the recall and removal from office of Flint's mayor, Donald J. Williamson. The announcement was the culmination of months of hard work and the involvement of many dedicated people in the city of Flint.

"Despite the obstacles and obvious constraints recently orchestrated by Don Williamson and his administration, we remain confident the voters of Flint will be afforded their legal right to vote on the removal from office of Mayor Williamson." - CBF News Release

More on the recall here and here via The Flint Journal, including this little laughable gem...

""I feel extremely positive that they won't recall me because of all of the work I have done for the great citizens of the city of Flint," said Williamson, who takes part of the credit for downtown revitalization."

Domo.

Cheeba was my favorite, not only because he was strong, beautiful and sleek, but because he had such personality. He was loud and outspoken, pushy, picky, needy, clever, and one hell of an escape artist. He loved to be outside but he suffered with allergies so we took great pains to keep him inside. He also had a great sense of humor. He loved everyone who came into our home, but after making a new friend, he'd always come right back to let me know I had the best lap of all. He was spoiled and loved, cuddled and babied. Sadly, he died Monday evening of lymphoma. We're all very heart broken. Out of habit, I still rush at the front door, worried he'll dart out. And if I see a shadow or a shoe on the floor, for a moment my mind is tricked into thinking it's him laying there. He's terribly terribly missed. That's why this week, the Five for Fri. is in memory of our dear Cheebita Weebita aka Cheeba Kittycaticus aka Brat Cat, aka Bobo.





Goodbye old friend.
