Tubby Tabby Tiny is Eagles fan

Years ago my brother had a pair of German Short Hair Pointers . Reuben and Jaeger . Waldo , ' the Wonderpuppy , dwarfed them , and tended to ignore them , favoring my company over theirs  . He did learn how to 'Point' from them , and this FOTS ,  is what he pointed at .

Most of you will never see Ball Lightning . Waldo saw some , and he pointed it out to me . I dunno what reminded me of this day from about 1977 ,  but it inspired a search yielding this quote from Parascientifica "cBall lightning may be an atmospheric electrical phenomenon, the physical nature of which is still controversial. The term refers to reports of luminous, usually spherical objects which vary from pea-sized to several meters in diameter. It is sometimes associated with thunderstorms, but unlike lightning flashes, which last only a fraction of a second, ball lightning reportedly lasts many seconds. "

This stuff is so odd , that I have been reluctant to report my encounter w  it . Over the years I guessed it was a bubble of Natural Gas , whose ions got exited when passing near a power line , making it glow . This was not quick as a flash of lightning either . The thing was slow enough to be a dirigible and it remained visible about 5 seconds . At that point it simply vanished , with no noise or flash , just its absence  . I would never have known it was there if Waldo had not pointed it out . I remember thinking WTF when I saw it and I bet Wally did too  .

Here is the report  . I am watching TV on a cloudy afternoon w the dog when I hear a slight whimper and find him pointing out the window at something strange between my house and the neighbor's . I remember a sound of static , and a smell of something charred . What I saw was roughly Basketball sized , and glowing . This was not bright like the sun , but yellowish  . It moved w an indecisive zig zag ,  like a lost balloon at the Zoo  and then it vanished , as mysteriously as it arrived . This was a  once in a lifetime sighting of a very rare natural occurrence . I wonder if there is some odd connection to the ' Northern Lights ' which are also charged ions ( I think ) . More likley it is some strange manifestation of swamp gas , or digestive .

I have some bad news FOTS , about tubby tabby Tiny . He faces Cancer surgery , and may lose a front leg .That will diminish his daily ' exercise ' of walking to the dinner dish . Robin Williams had a gag years ago asking ' if three legged dogs fell down on the fourth step ' . I cannot imagine Tiny even attempting another step if he loses that leg  .That Wm's gag BTW was based on , I think , a line in a Leon Russell song   ' Stray Dogs that live on the Highway walk on three legs ' . I do not think a three legged Tiny will walk at all but may be fitted w some sort of skateboard like Eddie Murphy used in Trading Places . On the bright side he will look cool like a Sidewalk Surfing Kitty .

For his last meal prior to the surgery Tiny has requested one of the Entrees below  , Deep Fried .

Two strokes under par in Golf is called an Eagle , and it is twice as admired as an ordinary Birdie . The easiest Golf Course in Houston  is in Herman Park .  ( Donated by Herman Brown of Brown and Root , a city father ) . Being short at 5000 yards lots of Birdies can be had at that course of course  , w a few Eagles seen as well .

Guess who took note .

Who would be a big fan of Eagles ?

Why the biggest Birds in this area ,. They are very rare .here . I have only seen two in town .
These guys did show at my Golf Course and I have seen maybe the same one , twice , three years apart .  Every time I  see him  I swell up w Patriotism w a chest like Daisey May's . I have heard there is an Eagle that appears at Football Games who does flyovers . I would like to see that .

Those two golf courses are 10 miles apart so what other explanation could there be for these Eagles to frequent Golf Courses than they would want to see Eagles ? Who could blame them for being Eagle fans ? Unfortunately someone has misinformed them . Those following me around a course won't see many Eagles at all . Just errors . If you are lucky there  will be a Comedy of them . And a bit of comity too .
