These photos were all taken this morning, Tinker's last morning.
Oddly enough, today I found out her original kitten name was "Flame".
My father-in-law adopted her, called her "Stinker" for a while, but then shifted her name to "Tinker" and "Tinkerbelle".
She certainly grew into Tinker and Tinkerbelle, my regal beastie.
I will miss her dearly.

The first photo is the better one, aesthetically speaking.
Cutting onions, Coble-style, to hold off the crying
Old-school dive mask.
I first used that mask in the late-1960s.
I believe I wore that mask for my first open-water dive in 1978.
After that, I upgraded to a prescription mask.
Thank you Uncle Bob for the guidance.

Very enjoyable!
Oh Lady oh

Last day: 6/11/2025
Lady, sleeping,
exhausted by the struggle,
snatching what relief, what rest, she could.
Lady's curtain call.
RIP, you puma, you jackalope of a house cat.
Sprite, Bright Spark, Little Slip, Captain's Bossy Sister, and the most brillig of beasts.
Sweet, sweet Lady!
Trill-buhrrrrrill-buhrrrrillll girl!
