Screeching Halt

I came to a screeching hault today when I saw this in a field. I'm working on a grant for Ben's friend Luke and we were out taking pictures of some irrigation equipment. We were toodling down the road when I slammed on the brakes and said, "Luke did you see that?" No, he hadn't so I backed up and since I had camera I took some pictures. This poor cat was wandering around in a field with a tin can stuck on its head. I took the pictures and thought about letting the story stop here, but do not dismay animal lovers I saved the cat. It took some doin' though. I tried to gently as I could remove the can. In the end I had the cat by the scruff of the neck and wiggled and pulled, and wiggle and pulled until the can finally came off. The cat seemed to be in good shape and trotted off toward it's apparent home to hunt down another can with a tasty morsel in it. Sorry folks that's about as exciting as it gets around here today!
