ABC Wednesday : Z is for Zen

Someone gave me the book Zen and the art of the Internet almost 20 years ago which makes it ancient history in internet terms.

The first time I saw this cat at the NC Botanical Garden at UNC I thought there was something rather zen about him.

Then zooming ahead to exactly one year later when I saw him at almost the same spot in the garden, lying down, I thought it was a little spooky.

A little later he let me know he let me know he was capable of zeal when attacking an itch.

Click for the home of ABC Wednesday. Zipeedeedoodah, I actually made it all the way to Z.

Kay L. Davies said...: I like the Botanical Gardens cat, Carver.
I'm so old I remember "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" but I never had a motorcycle. Zen and the internet might have been a bigger help.
Thanks for an interesting post (everything is better with a cat in it).
