A recent tidbit circulated through local blogs about a little black kitten with a kink in its tail that went missing from Twice Sold Tales, a used bookstore on Capitol Hill, earlier in the month. It's sad about the cat, especially if it was truly taken. In a city where thousands of unclaimed cats are euthanized every year, who needs to snatch one from a good home, er, store? My advice to would-be catnappers: Steal a book about a cat and then go adopt one.

The beautiful weather today inspired Gub and me to make our Sunday outing extra long. Instead of just going to the neighborhood farmer's market, we jumped on a bus and headed downtown to the Pike Place Market. After lunch at the Crumpet Shop, we stopped in at Dragon's Toy Box, where they are having a sale. Lots of stuff is 25-75 percent off, including a bunch of games and art kits.
