I am started to see actual cat vacuuming since (back in the 90s) ‘cat vacuuming’ was common in some Usenet writing circles. It described any procrastination you’d say was for a good purpose (reducing the cat hair to clean up later) (there is no way to reduce the cat hair to clean up later) that at least kept you from having to write.
Two in the US, but there’s another in the UK. My wife and I have been fortunate enough to ride them all.
The one in Rye Playland runs at the original design operating speed and it is quite the thrill ride. Cedar Point’s and Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s are good but not that daring. (Though Rye and Blackpool are less likely to have the racing mechanism working; I’ve never heard of Cedar Point’s being down.)
Ah, you know, I saw Melvwyn and the Lord of Ducks opening for Flint Eastwood. Great concert, always regretted not getting the t-shirt at the merch table.
Did not expect to see Geoff Downes in the comics today!
