Here in the CatBox the heat wave is winding down.  85\u00b0 is forecast today, then a couple days in the high 70\u00b0s, and then, back to the 80\u00b0s for the foreseeable future.  I’m waiting for Store to Door to arrive with my groceries.  WWWendy comes this evening to destink the desperately smelly TomCat.  This morning, in addition to my research and preparing the poll, I made all the graphics and collected all the data needed for July’s Monthly Report.  I hope to publish that on Friday.  Tomorrow, I have an appointment with my oncologist to formally get my cat-scan results and to give blood for one final test.  Therefore please expect no more than a Personal Update from me tomorrow, and I will not be distributing links messages on Care2.  Happy Hump Day to all!<\/font><\/p>\n
