big cats and multiple dinners

Today I learned that there was a big orange cat living in the warehouse associated with one of the local Ace Hardware stores. When we were at the store, the cat had been corralled in a cat carrier and was being bid farewell by various employees. Its name was, somewhat predictably, Ace.

I also learned that you don't have to order a turkey ahead of time. You can, instead, make an impulse turkey purchase at 4 o'clock on the day before Thanksgiving because you found out that the husband of the really, really sick lady was planning on eating Boston Market turkey on Thanksgiving all by himself. We already had plans, but there's no rule against eating dinner twice. Particularly the pie part.
