My oldest cat, Squeegee, will be 16 this year. Squeeks got his name because he doesn't meow, but rather, lets out these high pitched squeaks that don't seem to go with a good sized, beautiful Tom cat! It was my mother who named him Squeegee, because she thought it was more interesting than Squeaky.
When Squeegee was about one, I had been taking care of nine members of his family that lived as strays behind where I used to work. It was cold and they were always freezing and hungry. His father, a grey cat named "Mister Bill", had the same bullseye swirl pattern that Squeeks has, and it was originally Mr. Bill that I wanted to adopt, as I'd started by growing attached and taking care of him, and then he began to introduce the whole family to me!
Mr. Bill, as it turned out, had feline AIDS. I was devastated because I really adored that cat, and couldn't take him in because I had a little, old female, Noelle, that would be infected. So, I had Mr. Bill fixed and found a home for him with someone who loved him like I did. I brought Squeegee to the vet and when I discovered he was AIDS free, I brought him home.
One year after adopting Squeeks, who became like a child to me, he got deathly sick and went into kidney failure. I spent evey dime I had, and maxed out all my credit to try to find out what was wrong and save him. Thousands of dollars later, no one knew what was wrong with Squeeks. The vet put him on an appetite stimulant to get his weight up, and Torbutrol, a high powered pain killer, because his back was always tender, though we didn't know why.
Squeegee pulled through, and I have cherished him ever since, though we never did find out what was wrong, and had him on Torbutrol for many years. Last year, when Barrymore was diagnosed with diabetes, I had to try to wean Squeegee off the torb, because I just couldn't afford it. We discovered that he was addicted, but that he did just fine without it once he withdrew!
When I look at old pics of my baby, Squeeks, I can see the ravages of time showing in his face, and his fur. Since losing Tigger, I am all the more aware that these precious babies don't live anywhere near as long as they should, and that Squeegee's days are winding down, too. I just can't imagine being able to brace myself for that one. The day will come, though, and I will lose him, too. For now, though, I will treasure my little instigator, and enjoy spending whatever time I can with him. I'm hoping he makes it into his 20's!
Squeegee looks sad in the pic, and indeed he has been sad all week. Both of my kitties have been missing Tigger, and Squeeks seems depressed. He and Tigger were good friends, and brothers. Barrymore, not so much, but even he is acting upset. They know. Please pray for my kitties. Animals grieve, too.

“I’m going to miss little Piglet.” said Pooh Bear as he looked at Mount Bacon. “But these pounds and pounds and pounds of delicious bacon are going to make some delicious jerky.”
What with the beef eye of round in the refrigerator to marinate for three days, it was time to move on to make more jerky that doesn’t require any marination time — Bacon Jerky!!!
Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring gathered honey, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, Sriracha chili sauce, garlic, onion, white wine, and a few other spices. He wound up using the entire bottle of Sriracha and quite a bit of the honey. He added the other items to taste.
Poor Pooh Bear wept the entire time that he watched and cried out, “Oh, no! Not the honey. What to do? What to do? What to do?”
Aggie Ring decided to throw Pooh Bear a bone and let him whisk everything together.
Once that was accomplished and after all the dehydrator trays had been sterilized with hot water, bleach, and soap, we drug each piece of delicious bacon across the top of the spicy glaze and used the edge of the bowl as a “squeegee” to wipe off any excess glaze.
The glaze was a bit sticky so we made sure to spray down the dehydrator sheets with oil. Once the bacon was glazed on both sides, Aggie Ring had me dust the bacon with ground black pepper.
We ran out of the Sriracha glaze about three quarters through the bacon and decided to use some Carolina Tangy Gold BBQ sauce as a glaze. We also dusted that bacon with black pepper. The pounds and pounds and pounds of delicious bacon filled up the dehydrator. There is probably enough left over for two more trays. I think we might try using just pure maple syrup and black pepper for that bacon when this batch is completed.
Aggie Ring yelled out “Hullabaloo!” and had me turn on the dehydrator. The type and thickness of bacon we are using requires about four hours to become delicious and chewy with some crispness. The entire house will begin to smell of delicious bacon and spices in about an hour. At the two hour mark, we’ll flip all of the bacon over and let it continue another two hours, or until it’s ready.
One last check for light gaps before squeegeeing.

The windows started to get fogged up in the tower so I took some photos
through the cloudy panes. With a long exposure it gave some cool
effects. Of course there were several uniformed people walking around
with squeegees to wipe off the windows...

Notes: Karl Wenzel Klietsch (born May 31, 1841 in Arnau / Bohemia - died on November 16, 1926 in Vienna) was a painter, photographer and graphic artist. At the age of fourteen he began studying painting at the Academy in Prague. However, he had to leave after a short time because he caricatured Austrian ministers. After a long break, he was only able to complete school in 1862. Shortly thereafter he founded the photo studio "Rafael" in Brno. He worked as a draftsman, illustrator and caricaturist in Budapest and Vienna, but during this time he devoted himself more and more to questions of reproduction technology. In 1879 he invented heliogravure and around 1890 squeegee gravure printing with a cross screen, as well as inlaid linoleum and clicotype. art and art history.

Tigger is a really sweet cat, but to be honest, I think his posing days are over! He was very cooperative in the past when he lived in Sugar Mill Gardens, and knew that posing would somehow ensure some kind of food reward, but now that he gets plenty to eat, his tolerance of the camera is limited! He still loves visitors, though, and everyone who comes over to my house is immediately greeted by him, meowing, preening, and drooling from happiness! (Yes, cats drool when they're content. Yuk.)
Right now, he's laying curled up against my bed pillow, something I haven't been able to break him of, but he looks so cute that I can't shoo him! It's almost bedtime, so all the cats, Barrymore and Squeegee, too, are assembled right next to me, waiting for their nightly tuna. So, goodnight for now!

My cat, Squeegee has about the most beautiful eyes on the planet! They're amber with the slightest hints of green deep inside.
Don't let his innocent look fool you, though! Squeeks is a real instigator, and picks fights (dumb) with his "brother", Barrymore, who is 20 lbs. of alpha cat! The reason? Tuna. Yup. It's how they get attention when they don't get what they want! It never works, but they keep trying, anyway!

The car has taken its fair share of insects during the past four weeks. Each stop for fuel comes with the windshield bath. Just a light rub would do nothing, so I get quite into the scrubbing.

The most important thing to know, is that celestial bodies glow.
This poster is a 4-color hand printed screenprint with a hefty overprint of glow-in-the-dark-yellow over blue. As the 80's taught us, Yellow+Blue make Green! Both the yellow and green glow like you're in the back of a Spencers. No foolin'! Edition of 75. Size: 16x22 Paper: Cougar, 100lb cover.
8x10 Black and White Darkroom print. Exposed the paper twice, but flipped the paper upside down so the photos would merge. Painted on the developer, fixer and then solarized as normal. (Film)

I love the gritty, scratched up film scans. It just means that I'm sloppy, and I scratched my film with my squeegee, but it's real.
I wish I could come up with a NIK or PS effect pluggin that could emulate this.
At the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, the seals of American Trail are ready to splash down and make their big debut ! To help the seals acclimate to their new surroundings, animal care staff added 24,000 pounds of salt to the 125,000 gallon pool last week. Yesterday, three gray seals—Gunther, Kara and Kjya—and two harbor seals—Luke and Squeegee—entered the water together for the first time and explored their new digs. Visitors can view the seals up close and watch training and feeding demonstrations at 11:15 a.m. and 2 p.m. every day. The Zoo’s elderly gray seal, Selkie, is expected to join the other seals in the coming weeks. To follow the latest updates, follow the Zoo on Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #PinnipedParty.

Another scratched negative from my trip to Wiltshire. This is Silbury Hill, as seen en-route from Avebury. This was shot with a Bronica SQ-Ai on Rollei Retro 80S. Film was developed in Exactol Lux and then scratched whilst squeegeeing :-(.
Neocolor II on glass-> paper monotype.
Next batch of monotype experiments involved leaving the neocolor II drawing dry, but wetting the paper. Unfortunately either I need to squeegee the paper to less wet (but I didn't have a squeegee) or the rice paper I was using was just too absorbent.
This is one of the crayon drawings, no longer extant. The crayon was transferred to wet paper where it dispersed into an indistinguishable mush.
