Maximum Meezer Monday

“It’s that time of the year.”

 

 

Meezer Colors Day 2011

It’s time to start thinking on how to best show your meezer colors. That day, June 8th, will soon be here. Last year, we had very good participation – including some meezers participating for the first time. It’s our hope this year’s event will be just as good if not better.

To participate:

• You must be a meezer, meezer bun, honorary meezer, or a feline living with or related to a meezer. A person pretending to be a meezer, a cat, or dressed in a cat suit does not count.
• You may use objects or whatever else is handy to highlight your meezer colors.
• Limited photoshop enhancements are permissible, such as brightness/contrast adjustments, resizing, red-eye reduction, and background scenes. If you adjust the colors of your background scenes, make sure it does not turn the color of your furs, points, and eyes to an unusual color.

Make sure you circle that date on your calendar. Also, if you any questions, please leave a comment.

 

It’s not treats day

One of the news readers, last week, at our local ABC affiliate called today, Patriot’s Day. That same reader corrected himself, properly identifying today as Tax Day. Hopefully, you didn’t have to give a “refund” to the IRS. If you did, it wasn’t too much and didn’t take away from your treats and toys fund.

 

Around the web

A couple of things we saw on the web …

The sort of scary -
It’s not what would be on most travel itineraries, a side trip to an abandoned castle or chateau. At the AOL travel section, they featured a slide show of abandoned castles and chateaux. Of course, walking through ruins is always a risky venture since the conditions vary. To view the slide show, click here.

 

A silent film -
Discovered several years ago was a silent film featuring the cable cars of San Francisco in 1906. A camera was attached to the front of a cable car as it traveled its route. A familiar landmark, the clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero, can be seen. What makes this film worth seeing is that it was filmed four days before the Great Earthquake of April 18, 1906. A clip from the film can be seen here.
