This one, though, appears to have been placed there. It's in a Prescott residential area and I think the developer "placed" it there.
Still . . . it's impressive. Especially, probably, to the guy whose house is directly below it!
While showing them around our area, I got a chance to snap a few pictures. Here are a couple I took on the courthouse square in Prescott of the statue dedicated to the memory of "Bucky" O'Neill. Taking the photos from different sides of the statue shows the different effects one can achieve.
Does he love me as I do him?
I wonder, too. What does a cat think? Does it think like we, as humans, do? Does it SEE, as we .. like humans..do. I have heard not. I wonder, as she lies upside down, staring at me, what she sees.
I wonder . . . does she love me as I think she does?
SWMBO brought her home from the animal pound a few years ago. She said Jazz was not pretty, not near as pretty as the other cats. But she seemed so grateful for her attention that she couldn't resist her.As I gazed at it with wonder, I couldn't help thinking - - is it
a. Advertising . . a banner designed to lure folks in to the store and gas station,
b. A sign of the patriotic fervor of the store owner,
or
c. A stick it in your eye display that says "Mine's bigger than yours!"
You see, I recently had cataract surgery on my right eye. While we're waiting (and waiting) for the follow-up doctor appointment and new vision prescription, one eye works great, the other one sucks. So I am wearing my reading glasses, topped with a pair of simple magnifiers from the drug store. The combination allowed me to actually make out the words on the page.
Let me tell you, there is truth in all those bromides about "old age ain't for sissies", et al.
Well, let me tell you, there is nothing in such times of woe as the love of a good . . . . . . cat! My pal, Jazz, who cannot allow me to be seated without seeing (there's that damned word again) advantage of a warm lap. I like to say she loves me. But warmth and comfort may be the true meaning of her closeness.But it doesn't matter to me. At my advanced age, I'll take what I can get.
