Innocent Eyes


I found him/her while me and my wife were taking a walk around our area. He/she wasn't alone, there was at least one more kitten, but too scared to come out from the place where they were living, an abandoned or non-functional car. I didn't have my regular camera, but my wife's camera, a tiny Olympus FE, so the quality of the picture isn't a great one...

And now some more facts about Texas!

IT'S SO HOT AND DRY IN TEXAS...

....the birds have to use potholders to pull the worms out of the ground.
....the trees are whistling for the dogs.
....the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
....hot water comes from both taps. ....you can make sun tea instantly.
....you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
....the temperature drops below 95 F (35 C) and you feel a little chilly.
....you discover that in July it only takes two fingers to steer your car.
....you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
....you actually burn your hand opening the car door.
....you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 A.M.
....your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death"?
....you realize that asphalt has a liquid stage.
....the potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter.
....the cows are giving evaporated milk.
....farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs

  7. That's a good set of jokes, although some of it is too close to the truth for comfort.
    Hope when the time comes someone rescues these kitties. This little fella is so cute I am sure it would quickly find a good home from a shelter.

  8. OK, that has an awwwwww factor of 12.9 out of 10!
    Those one liners sound awfully close to the truth to me, but I'd probably die of heatstroke if I traveled that far south.
