[ Two tall Ponderosa pines stand below white skies. Each is dusted with light snow, and snowflakes are visible falling past them. ] The problem with moving is the amount of STUFF involved, & in this case, by STUFF I mean ‘my prescriptions’ & ‘the place that has the warranty for the van’s transmission’ & …
[ Loiosh, an orange tabby, is curled up on a bag of small water bottles in the back seat of a car. He’s fast asleep. ] The boys love fighter practice, but the ride down is, frankly, boring. Fortunately, being cats, they’re good at taking a nap.
[ A small thirteen-striped ground squirrel, perhaps three inches long not counting his tail, is crouched on dry grass, looking up at the camera. ] … at least the first two are; the others are DEFINITIVELY large, but, well. Look at this lil dude! So brave! I suspect they get fed by campers a lot. …
[ Loiosh, an orange tabby wearing a green harness, is meatloafed up on a green picnic table. His ears are stuck out at a variety of angles and he’s giving the camera some pretty epic side-eye. ] After FAR too long, Loiosh got to go to fighter practice again! & this is how he felt …

[ Loiosh, an orange tabby wearing a green harness, is in the foreground of the shot; his stroller is facing a paddock full of fluffy white lambs, but he has turned away. Most of the lambs are looking at him, ears perked forwards. ] Loiosh also got to visit the lambs, who were VERY curious …
[ Loiosh, an orange tabby wearing a green harness, is sitting in a blue cat stroller. He’s facing a curious alpaca, who’s white with the loveliest dark eyes. The alpaca is leaning forward curiously; Loiosh is ducking back just a bit. ] Loiosh got to meet alpacas. He was … not sure about this.
[ Major Tom, a big grey tabby wearing a black harness, stands next to the trunk of a huge cottonwood tree; he’s sniffing curiously at something in the bark. ] Having (mostly) dried off from my creek adventures & wrangled Loiosh back into the van, I consulted Jasper for his opinions of how to spend …
