PT MONDAY AUGUST 6, 2001 THE WATSON LAKE LODGE RESTAURANT
ODOMETER
TRIP METER
MONEY
Three
cans of cat food: $5 and faith.
Gas, Yukon pins, magnet: $75
Well old Mr. Johnson said he'd shoot that cat on sight. He
loaded up his shotgun, with nails and dynamite. He waited
and he waited for that cat to come around. Forty seven pieces
of the man were all they found.
But
the cat came back, the very next day.
The cat came back, you know they thought he was a goner. No,
the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away, no. No no no
no.
Woke
up this morning feeling 50/50 about the whole Ike deal. I think
he's too quick and smart to get eaten by a bear or a fox or a
wolverine or whatever. I think he's loveable enough to be stolen
by someone who wouldn't give him back. I know he's stupid enough
to get locked in somewhere he shouldn't have been in the first
place.
I
slept so so and then woke up around 7:30. The Health and Human
Services Building where I thought Ike was locked in didn't open
until 8:30, so I drove around, looked for a laundromat and a car
wash, checked e-mail and bought some cat food as a show of faith.
Back
at the library, the two ladies in the Outreach office hadn;t seen
Ike, and they said the building hadn't been open over the weekend,
putting the kabosh on one hope.
The
Town Hal is connected to the library and the lady behind the desk
called the Animal Control guy, but they didn't have a cat. She
took down Ike's info and said that people around Watson Lake were
good about turning in cats, and might not call the number on the
tag.
The
battery was dead, yet again, so I sat and worked and figured I'd
wait a few hours for everything to 0pen around 10:00 and see if
Ike popped out.
Around
an hour ago I saw one of the women from the Outreach building
come out of a basement door, beneath the building. She kneeled
down and seemed to be talking to something. When I saw a black
tail waving in the air, I felt much better.
Ike's
okay. He was hungry and wanted to keep running around, but I threw
him in the van and tried to convince someone to give me a jump
so I could head up the Campbell Highway. Ike jumped out of the
van once and ran up some stairs, but I caught him and put him
back in.
I
got gas at Fas Gas and bought some presents for Russia, and now,
two days later, it is time to hit the road.
Stupid
cat. Glad he's back.
