SOTU and a big thank you for those donating to Tom's 'Donate to animal shelters' fund
Gonna let Nick handle SOTU - I'm a cat - guaranteed not to stay awake thru the whole thing
We are anxiously awaiting the start of President Biden’s SOTU - Nick is going to handle it as I will no doubt have a nap or two as it is broadcast.
He’ll fill me in later today during my couple of waking hours, when I’m not hunting bugs.
I’ve got a bet with Nick - I’m betting on Kevin McCarthy ripping up the speech as Nancy did to TFG - and Nancy should be canonized for that.
Kevin has never had an original thought play out as far as I can tell.
So watch for that.
We want to thank everyone who has contributed to the Donate to Animal Shelters Fund.
But we have a question for you very generous donors - would you prefer we donate the money to North America or should we be donating to the shelters and animal care organizations in whatever country we happen to be in at the time.
There are so many needy animals here in India - when Nick first came to Bangalore to work for Microsoft a few years back, the human population was 6 million - the stray dog population was 3 million.
Bangalore now has a human population of 13 million and simple math tells us that should translate to 6 million stray dogs.
Nick does his best to feed and love them, much to the disdain of the locals.
The few that did care about these strays would feed them cookies. Nick was appalled and went and spent a small fortune on high grade dog food with which he would leave where he knew the strays hung out and slept in the sun.
What happened, you ask?
The strays gobbled up the cookies and left the hi-grade dog food untouched. Nick started buying cookies for the dogs. They were grateful.
Anyway - would our donors prefer us to send the money to North America or use it where we are at the time?
Heartfelt thank so much to all you donors, in particular to Victoria Love and Marypat Stewart, who were our first donors.
So the question remains - donate local to whatever country we are in at the time, or should we send it to N. American shelters?
Please send your opinion thru my Substack account.
Again, thank you so much.
I’ll be back on my regular column tomorrow.
Enjoy the SOTU - I know Nick will.
Love and purrs,
Tom
