Wonderful, amazing, extraordinary, but not perfect

There are many examples of extremely bright and talented individuals in history, from Newton to Marie Curie, and we can't help but marvel at their contributions to our understanding of the Universe.

More down-to-Earth thinkers and tinkerers, from Gutenberg to Edison have also made huge contributions to civilization.

In our current era, those who will be remembered for their profound intelligence and impact, at least in my opinion, are people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. The men and women who are responsible for the Information Age Revolution that we are now experiencing.

How did we get anything done without the Web and personal computers?

As wonderful as these technologies are, however, they are not perfect and sometimes act in ways that surprise us. I'm reminded of this occasionally when the shopping cart I use at naturalscratch.com doesn't work quite the way a customer expected it would.

However, most of time it works incredibly well and has permitted me to receive and fill orders for my posts from across America and around the world.

Visit to the Vet

We go to a wonderful veterinarian called Care Animal Clinic in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The people there are nice and knowledgeable and clearly lovers of cats and dogs and other living things.

Yesterday it was Gemini's and Leo's time for a checkup and a rabies shot.

Cat lovers know that journeys in a vehicle typically are greeting with displeasure, even wailing by feline passengers. We always put our guys in small carrying cages for the ride so once they see the cages they immediately begin panic.

Here's a tip to help make it easier to get your cat into a carrying cage.

First, put the cage in an out-of-the-way room hours prior to needing it. Second, set it on its end and open the door. Third, when the time to leave approaches, find your cat and pick her or him up. Fourth, put your hand over your guy's eyes and deposit her or him in the carrier feet first.

By the time, the cat realizes what's going on, you will have the door closed and latched.
