Good morning! Grania here. Yes, we made it! Happy day of Frige if you are on the west side of the Eurasian landmass, happy day of Śukra if you are on the eastern side, and of course, also Quetzalcohuātl in Mesoamerica.
Today in 1975 labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa disappeared, and there are still only conspiracy theories about what happened to him. Today is also the birthday of writer J.K. Rowling (her adult novels are good, you should try them) and NASCAR racer Louise Smith.
Hili is back to philosophizing this morning, although it is that specialized niche of philosophy that deals with food, and more specifically, food for Hili.
Hili: Can you eat the bird and have it too?
A: No, but you can eat veal from a can and have the bird.
Hili: A bowl is not as exciting.
In Polish:
Hili: Czy można zjeść ptaszka i go zachować?
Ja: Nie, ale można zjeść cielęcinę z puszki i zachować ptaszka.
Hili: Miseczka nie jest tak ekscytująca.
I definitely prefer the wording “Can you eat the bird and have it too?” rather than “Can you have your bird and eat it too?”. The second seems more common, but the first makes more sense. Obviously – “No! Not in MY house.”
Nice chair – good inspiration for Hili!
Hili just needs to realize the sort of excitement it would take for her to successfully hunt the veal herself. She’s eating LION food — what could be more exciting for a small cat like her than that?
