Geeky Cat Miusings

I had such a fabulous trip to the beautiful and majestic Arizona.

I seem to be fascinated with cactus. It is a hardy plant, well adapted to the very dry climates, but can still be seen in snowy environments. They can be served up for dinner as cactus fries with prickly pear sauce.

Please have a look at some of my photos

I am contemplating my vacation to a land where there seems to be a preponderance of species that follow the “if you’re going to be mean to me, then I’ll be mean to you back” mind set. The desert is home to rattlesnakes, scorpions, and cacti which all fall into this category. I’ll try to be respectful of these desert dwellers but one can always contemplate revenge. If a cactus gets mean with me I will make cactus fries out of it or perhaps a cactus margarita, considered specialities in the south. I will be seeking out the teddy bear cholla for the fuzzy teddy bear arms, but I’ll not be fooled! I know that if you touch the spines, you will find yourself painfully stuck to a spiny segment that seems to have “jumped” off the plant. Cuddly from a distance, vicious if you get too near.

I also hear rattlesnake fries tastes like chicken….

Hello, Just a quick note to say I’m still alive and haven’t forgotten you. Will be back.
