Naps...

 

I hear that is a good thing for old people like you, Jim.

I would consider that snarky... if it wasn't so true.  It is good for cats, too.

Murphy and Stella enjoy naps.  And lately, they have been enjoying them in close proximity to each other...

 You get a good view of the size difference with this "overhead" shot.  But, what I notice most is how sweet they are together.  I think two weeks in the "closeness" (is that a word?) of the van brought them together even more.  On the bright side, if there are middle of the night zoomies, they are generally happening somewhere besides our bedroom.

I've read that cats sleep 16 hours a day.  I haven't found that to be the case, but these two are working on it...

 And, later...

 Yeah, I may be a party of one who appreciates these images.  Well, Joan likes 'em, too, since the first two photos are hers.

So you don't get the idea that these two do nothing but sleep, this shot was taken shortly after the one above...

 And, Stella's turn in front of the camera...

Buc-ee's is almost ready!

Monday, June 22nd is opening day for the new Buc-ee's in Goodyear, AZ.  "Is that a big deal?" you ask.  The local NBC affiliate (Channel 12) will be doing live broadcasts from Buc-ee's throughout the day, including two streaming broadcasts.  Motels close to the Buc-ee's location are reporting being sold out for rooms around that date.  There are special traffic procedures being put into place by the City of Goodyear for the streets surrounding Buc-ee's, including "no turns across traffic" (you will have to go a half mile beyond Buc-ee's, do a U-turn, then come back so you don't have to cross traffic to enter the Buc-ee's.  Arizona DOT has a camera set up to monitor the roads on the entrances to Buc-ee's.  I-10 drivers are being encouraged to take alternate routes on opening day and the week following; and are advising drivers that there may be Interstate ramp closures during that time.

So, yeah, it is apparently a big deal.

 

Steph and Dan are treating us to a Father's Day lunch today (to avoid the crowds on Sunday) a mile or so away from that new Buc-ee's location.  I'm guessing we should be away from the fray.
