I received an unexpected 49th Birthday Present today!
My BikeBlog, The Cycling Dude, was linked, twice, by a prominent International Cycling Website, and the Publisher complimented me on my writing. ;-D
Welcome to Daily Peloton Readers!
I am extremely honored by the compliments of the Publisher, and the linking by them to my blog.

MWROAARRR!!! I'm KING OF THE WORLD!
Okay, THAT was embarrassing.
But I promised Daddy I would post it today. ;-D
Despite appearances I was NOT having a Howard Dean Moment!
I spent part of Monday morning exploring my Kitty Condo. I tried to settle down for a nap on the 4th floor, yawning and everything! Then "FLASH"!!!
Daddy had grabbed his camera, not knowing what he'd get, when he took the shot, because it was too dark to see me.
To the surprise of both of us he caught me YAWNING!!!
There I was, climbing from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor, of my Tower, on my way to take a nap...
11 years of hard work to avoid being captured in just such a compromising situation...
Shot to hell!
Down the drain!
How embarrassing!
A sure sign that I AM truly getting old.
Anyway, I awoke this morning to hugs from Daddy, and a treat of a morning meal.
Mackerel!!!
Cool! I've only had Tuna, or salmon, before.
I smelled what was coming from across the room, dashed off the bed, and stood at Daddy's feet plaintively asking him to hurry up already and set my bowl down!
But nooo, he had to try and get another picture of me in a compromising postition!
Luckily that photo was too blurry, and he settle for the one you see above.
Much more dignified, thank you very much! ;-D
With the meal out of the way It was time for an early morning nap.
Here I am, atop my Castle, on this very special day, King of All I Survey! ;-D
***UPDATE - 5PM***
Do you have a fascination with...ENVELOPES???
You are NOT alone! ;-D
I explore this phenomenon here.

Welcome to Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat!
This morning I had a issue.
I wanted to blog, and I wanted to check out Twitter, and I wanted to go on my Catbook page!
Anyway, I couldn't do any of this important stuff because Daddy was tempting me.
Oh, not deliberately, mind you, it's just that he likes to eat while online, and all that food was oh, so close! ;-D
I jumped to the top of the bookshelf, and stared, and stared, and stared....
Now, I ask you? What's a Cat to do?
Valiantly resist temptation by turning tail and going to take a mid-morning nap.
I'm so proud of myself! ;-D
Todays topic is paper.
To be specific that variety of paper the humans call an "envelope"
I love paper of any type, and can't resist the urge to help Daddy find new places to put any piece of paper I can reach!
I consider any place I choose to be a far superior place for his papers than where he chooses to place them.
Can I help it if Daddy and I have irreconcilable differences with regards to this?
He gets real exasperated when I get in the mood to perfom this variety of Feng Meowie
I just don't understand what the problem is for the life of me!
I mean, come on! What the hell is so wrong about the floor?
There are plenty of videos on YouTube that explore the Feline Fascination with Envelopes.
The humans narrating some of these videos just don't seem to have a clue what's truly going on, or why.
It's truly sad.
I even found one human who thinks his Cat is stupd because of her fascination with envelopes!
I'm sorry, yes someone's stupid, but it ain't the Cat!
Spain the Cat loves her Tor envelopes, and her human doesn't quite know what to make of it.
Some human drop their envelopes "Accidentally" on the floor. Shakti, though, knows the truth! Her human wants her to arrainge them for proper floor display!
Sometimes choosing just the right place to display an envelope on the floor can be soooo hard! It can become so frustrating that, as in the case of this Cat, one finally says the hell with it, and gives up!
Bubble Wrap Envelopes can be even more frustrating sometimes. Just hen you think you have found the absolute,most perfect, place for one of these beauties...doubts set in, and you keep looking, avoiding tempting distractions as you fail a second time to find just the right place.
Finally, tired, and hungry, even the most determined Kitty will call it quits.
When humans mess up their office space looking for an envelope some will go to extremes to avoid taking the blame.
Take the following case, for instance.
Everyone knows that envelopes can often be found in Envelope Boxes! Nothing mysterieous or freaky about it!
It's only common sense! And, God Knows, we Felines have plenty of that to spare! ;-D
In this instance our hero didn't find the envelope he, or she, was looking for.
And just who's fault is that? ;-D
Now let's move on to a round-up of Weekly Carnivals:
1. Carnival of the Cats #259 is up and running at Artsy Cats, and you can learn all about the Carnival itself, over at The Cat Blogosphere.
Next week it will be hosted by Mind of Mog, and we very sadly send purrs & purrayers to Mind of Mog, who recently helped their sweet Klarissa to the Rainbow Bridge ...
2. Weekend Catblogging #195 is hosted by Sir Tristan Tabby Cat Longtail, of Tabbylicious, and you can learn about Weekend CatBlogging here.
3. The Modulator, as usual, has Friday Ark #232, where all the Animal Kingdom comes together to strut its stuff, and you can find links to Carnivals celebrating creatures of all sorts.
4. The Pet Purrs and Purrayers Blog is for any pet prayer requests, praises or remembrances.
Monthly Healing Purr & Purrayer Circles are held the last Thursday of each month.
Well, that's all for now, I am off to take an afternoon nap! ;-D
***UPDATE - 3/5***
Holy Mackerel!! I'm 11 Today!! Join the celebration! See the Compromising Photos! Party! Party!

After month of redesign efforts, in preperation for debuting Blogrolling 2.0, the big day has finally arrived, this morning.
All across the Blogosphere there is great rejoicing, and no doubt great curiousity about what the new version has to offer, and an all important question...
Will my Blogrolls remember me? If they do, will they be pleased to see me, or seriously pissed off? ;-D
Well, I was able to get to my lists, all 9 of them, and found them intact, though I need to double check the counts, to make sure everything is listed, and I need to update which blog they are now on.
Blogrolling.com serves well over a billion blogrolls per year to tens of thousands of customers, across hundreds of thousands of blogs. It requires some fairly serious bandwidth and hardware just to keep it running.
Blogrolling.com was one of the original blog “widget” services, and even with the recent challenges, still probably one of the largest in terms of actual usage. We really want to make sure that it gets even better.
So, we’re going to try and sell some ads.
One major difference is that you must pay an annual fee to keep those ads off the links in your blogrolls, and that is something I will do soon.
I like the new look of the lists, and the usability of the tools one uses for adding, and deleting links.
I have 9 Blogrolls, 5 on this blog, 1 on my BikeBlog, and 3 not currently in use, but soon will be again.
Over the 7 years I've been on Blogroll there have been 343,000 views of my Blogrolls.
Welcome back to life Blogrolling.com! ;-D
