Background Art
It occurs to one, that there should be a few comments addressed to the art which appears in the background of the title photo. The paintings are by Quin Withey. The two most visible are a self-portrait of the artist himself, the other painting with the large blue head is a portrait of the guitarist, Leadbelly aka Huddy Ledbetter, one of the foremost, possibly the most, most, Blues guitarists. (see his rendition of Gallis Pole, it sounds as if at least two, possibly three guitarists are playing simultaneously). Leadbelly was discovered by John Lomax in the first half of the 2oth century and taken all over the country to perform for New Yorkers and such, to show them that such playing actually existed and how it was done. He also composed the well-known song, "Goodnight Irene."
On another note, pretty much all of the photography which may be posted here, or in Flickr or elsewhere is by Elizabeth Withey, aka Beth Withey.
It's a beautiful, humid, hot day here in the Commancheria. The squirrels are particularly frisky today.
Enough for now.

The title of this blog
Ahhhh. It has been a long time since I've dared to enter the blogosphere. Time to dip the proverbial toes back into the stream of consciousness.
The title of this blog, one must double check the spelling, comes from the theory of the aforementioned physicist who put forward theories of probability regarding a cat who was first here, later there, perhaps everywhere at once, both alive and passed on depending on whether or not he or she was being observed. I am extremely fond of this theory, and the books about it which, one day, I will list right here in this blog when I can find them. Probably, they exist under the bed, if they are observed.
I must put forward that, because of the relative density of Beagles, with one of whom I am privileged to live, there would be no such theory possible. They are most definitely exactly where they are, at all times and in all universes, whether they are observed or not.
Enough for now.
