Fun with grasshoppers

There is a major electric storm this morning. I love them. I like the thunder and I like the lightning. The lightning is my favorite. I like to sit out on the deck and watch it.

I met with a recruiter yesterday and they have a couple job prospects in mind for me. They are opening an office just about a couple miles away from me so that will help insure it's closer to home.

That wasn't the only excitement yesterday. Monday night our boy cat Einstein came trotting in off the back deck with something in his mouth then started jumping all over the place chasing it. He had caught a grasshopper on the deck. Pretty soon he had maimed that one and minutes later came tearing through the apartment chasing another one. I fell asleep letting both the cats play with the injured grasshoppers. When I awoke yesterday morning it was really quiet. There wasn't a cat meowling at me telling me to get up and feed it breakfast. Einstein was gone. He was not in the kitchen or hiding behind the toilet, he was not in the apartment! He had made the giant leap off our balcony (about 15 feet) to chase grasshoppers. We didn't find him until last night but thankfully we found him. Now with this storm, I imagine he's pretty glad we brought him back inside. :)
