Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Friday the 13th Cat Blogging!

In the foothills of the Superstition Mountains! Friday cat blogging is an ancient and  venerable tradition in the blogosphere. We pioneers of the 'sphere aim to keep it going. To hell with all you change-for-the-sake-of change 'progressives.'

I Ain't Superstitious, leastways no more than Howlin' Wolf, but two twin black tuxedo cats just crossed my path.  All dressed up with nowhere to go.  Nine lives and dressed to the nines. 

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Superstition.  Guitar solo starts at 3:03. 

And of course you've heard the story about Niels Bohr and the horseshoe over the door:

A friend was visiting in the home of Nobel Prize winner Niels Bohr, the famous atomic scientist.

As they were talking, the friend kept glancing at a horseshoe hanging over the door. Finally, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, he demanded:

“Niels, it can’t possibly be that you, a brilliant scientist, believe that foolish horseshoe superstition! ? !”

“Of course not,” replied the scientist. “But I understand it’s lucky whether you believe in it or not.”

    From the comment string over at Newsmax right now, this gem:
    Theoldmanknowseverything
    4m
    In memory of the eaten.
    Black and orange stray cat sittin’ on a fence
    I ain’t got enough dough to pay the rent
    I’m flat broke but I don’t care
    I strut right by with my tail in the air
    Stray cat strut, I’m a ladies cat
    I’m a feline Casanova, hey man that’s that
    Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
    Get my dinner from a garbage can
    Don’t go crossing my path
    I don’t bother chasing mice around
    I slink down the alleyway looking for a fight
    Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
    Singin’ the blues while the lady cats cry
    “Wild stray cat, you’re a real gone guy”
    I wish I could be as carefree and wild
    But I got cat class and I got cat style
    I don’t bother chasing mice around
    I slink down the alleyway looking for a fight
    Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
    Singin’ the blues while the lady cats cry
    “Wild stray cat, you’re a real gone guy”
    I wish I could be as carefree and wild
    But I got cat class and I got cat style
