I Asked Suzy For A Suzday Commentary

 

One of my Navigator's shots of Tahoma sleeping peacefully in 2013,

            Since it would be her day, and your scribbler*, had spent her working hours yesterday proofreading, I thought that I would ask Suz if she had any wise words for us today.
            She was up here on the desk watching humorous cat videos anyhow, so I said, “Hey, Kitty, do you have something you want to get off of your chest today?”
            I had forgotten that cats don’t dig figurative speech.
            She began checking her chest, then gave me a strange look.
            “Never mind, Suzy. What I meant was is there anything important that you would like us to know today?” I said.
            “Well, let’s see,” she said. “Water changes everything.”
            “Hm. OK. Anything else?” It wasn’t figurative, but it was a bit enigmatic.
            “My toes are very small,” she said, as if enthralled.
            “You’re a small cat, Suzy,” I said.
            “Also, rain is water. I’ve seen the pictures, Lady. Things are changed!” she said.
            “Hm,” I said.
            “But, they’ll change back!” she said. “Next will be snow! I can’t wait to see snow. I mean see it. Not touch it! Toots won’t touch snow and neither will I!”
            “I like snow too, Suz. Remember last year? We had some snow.”
            “That’s all I can think of. I’m sleepy,” said Suzy, confidingly.
            “That’s probably enough. Water changes things. Then they change back. And it’s going to snow later. I don’t think truer words were ever spoken Suzy. Have a nice nap, Honey,” I said.
            She jumped down, using my knee as her usual stepping stone, and headed off to one of her sleepy spots.
            There you have it, the word from Suzy Q.

*I find it amusing that the word scribbler descends from the word scribe.
