Fierce guard-cat

Once again, I looked up from typing on my computer, and found my fierce guard-cat in the doorway, keeping me safe from any intruders. She does have a full set of very sharp "points" on those paws, so beware of trying to pick her up if she doesn't want to.

In the town of Rock Springs, Wyoming, we found a most unlikely restaurant.  A Japanese Steakhouse, called Sapporo.  We had an excellent dinner.  This guy greeted customers outside. That's my six-foot-tall husband for scale.  The sumo wrestler is …
