Columbus Day Weekend

It’s been a nice little weekend thus far.  Friday, the Millville Fire Department attempted to rescue a kitten that was in the sewer.The cat managed to  run anywhere it would from getting captured. I give full credit to the MFD for working so hard to try to rescue the cat. You can see video of this on  my YouTube site.I only know that the SPCA was called and other then that I do not know the fate of this cat.
Saturday October 9, I took care of some boxes by going over to a red dumpster where boxes are supposed to be thrown out so they can be recycled.


That was kind of fun and got alot of boxes that were to be used when the Fithian House was still open last year. Next we went to Bridgeton to donate some clothes and other items at a place called The Bridge. It seemed like they could use more donations.
The folks were very nice as well. This trip to Bridgeton was a prelude to going over to the Crowe’s house where I met up with Pat. We worked on a cat area in the basement that will keep the cats in a contained area but leave the rest of the basement  intact from all the wonderful cat  stuff that at one point really made a mess of the basement. The floors have been repainted with care in hopes that St. Nick will soon be there.  Pat Jon and I
took off the screening off the front porch, then I rolled up the large screens.  While the door was being framed,  we stapled
Half way done
the screening to the top beams then cut at the bottom.  Stapling of the screens was on 2X4’s. that are to hold the 3 cats in the enclosed area. We will see if this idea works.
 Yesterday Sunday,  was a slow mellow day. It was another nice fall day in October. We chilled out in the bright sunshine for awhile. Took the dogs for a walk at the riverwalk. I took a look to see how the riverfront condo's were doing and for the first time,
I saw a building that was partially built. That is PROGRESS for sure. Lets see when more of them get built and expand the walkway. We went shopping and were to go to the Shop Rite like everyone elese but decided to hit the ACME instead. Boy, its much less crowded! We did notice that there was less selection in some items such as pet food,
but the aisles were larger and in general the ACME was more roomy.  If the contrast in how crowded each of the stores are, then the ACME is in trouble. Also ACME has the reputation for having the higher prices.  We will see I suppose.
The Eagles and Phillies are playing tonite and so far both are leading. Phillies 2-0 and Eagles 17-10.  Here is the Eagles report :
A nice first half for the Eagles, who for won't have to answer questions about a slow start this week (except on kick coverage). The defense produced two turnovers, the offense scored on three of its four drives, tallying 17 points. Injuries to Jason Peters and Brodrick Bunkley are two of the very few things for the Eagles to be worried about, and even more worrisome, Trent Cole went to the locker room early. If he can't return, that will be big trouble as the Eagles try to protect a seven point lead.

As for the Phillies. Cole Hamels is looking sharp for 6 innings.  Chase Utly his a solo home run to make the lead 2-0. The offence could stand to get more runs.
Finished watching Kennth Branah as Wallander on PBS. It’s a pretty good show but it does start off very slow and gets all involved in his personal  family issues.  Now it’s the 2nd half of the Eagles game and there is 8 min left in the 3rd quarter.  Eagles just blew a  4th and 1.  Kolb is not mobile and that seems to cause a problem.


Update!!Well, the Eagles barely beat the 49ers 27-24 and the Phillies swept the Reds 2-0. Now its time to move on bigger and better things. Tomorrow, is my day off for Columbus day and Jim's Lunch will be opening again. Its not such a bad place but I have not been there much.
