I saw that on Sunday Morning too Truman. It felt strange knowing that I had actually been to Rockmount before.

So I had just hung up the phone about 7:30 las night and I heard the wild cat charging up the steps and decided I better investigate. Sometimes she gets ambiances but this sounded like it was with a purpose. Sure enough she was chasing something. I thought it was a mouse until I see it try to fly out the window. OMG I had to do something quick.
I love Crybaby and generally am a cat lover but I know it is their predatory nature to stalk and kill birds and rodents. Once already I had to remove her for the house to allow a chipmunk to escape from under the TV. While I didn't have a cat for a couple of years, I enjoyed having the birds. Occasionally I would see a mouse, especially when the weather turned cold and there was the snakes.......
I thought (and Crybaby did too) that she had the bird cornered beside a chair and I was like "How am I going to save this poor little thing?" when I saw it was hiding in the folds of a blanket thrown on the floor. I moved quickly.
Out in the front yard with the door closed behind me I untangled the baby Brown Thrashers talons from the synthetic fleece. It was panting, in shock and exhausted. I held it in my hand and stroked its little head and spoke to it. "You were luck this time, you need to watch out for that cat and others!" Its eyes closed like it was falling asleep and I thought of the female Cardinal I found once sitting on the ground. It was in shock from flying into a window and my crew of cats had not discovered it, yet.
I took the bird inside to my bathroom and close the door, letting it recover amongst a pile of towels. When I cam back a half hour later it had snapped out of it and shitting all over the place! I lowered the upper sash of the window and finally managed to shoo it out.
About tat time the Trasher snapped out of it too, and with a chip took off in a hurry, landing sideways on a (damned) White Mulberry tree. It looked back at me and chipped again.
"You were lucky this time" I repeated and turned to see Crybaby thru the storm door protesting: "Meow!".

A friend sent me a link to these.
I love Loretta Lynn, she is one of the icons of country music and it is interesting to see her in this new incarnaton at this point in her life (she's 74). Kind of reminds me of Tammy Wynette and The KLF, only better.

I've heard some of that CD and it's really pretty good. I'm still more of a traditionalist though!
I'll take "you ain't woman enough to take my man" anyday!
