The Bob Chronicles: Episode 1, Living in a Swing State


Greetings family and friends, this is your old sweet pal Bob. I am writing you today from the sunny perch of Janet’s front room in Denver. No one told this California kitty that the weather would be so cold here in Colorado—I might ask my roomie to get me some leg warmers to make it through the winter months! Today I am enjoying respite from the winter chill with a sunny afternoon that the weather-man commented would be at least 70 degrees. I think I might be getting a sunburn.

I write today to report on my new adventures in the swing state of Colorado. Many of you know that most of my life has been spent on the Left Coast or in the yellow dog Republican capital of Dallas, but this place called Colorado is really different from either of those homesteads. While Janet is away at work I have been recruited by both parties to make cold calls to all the neighborhood cats on the North side---my little paws can’t really dial, but I’m trying to do my best. To be quite honest, I haven’t heard either McCain or Obama speak about pressing cat issues in a single debate.

Last weekend Janet returned from an Obama rally where nearly 100,000 people turned out to see the action. The pictures of all of those Obama supporters really blew my tiny kitty brain. I’m not sure, but if Denver has anything to do with this election, I believe this state is taking a turn for the blue.

About a week ago my kitty nose got stopped up and I was doing a terrible amount of sneezing. Turns out I did some Google research and Siamese mixes are extra sensitive because of the size and shape of their sniffers. Why do I share this information with you, you might ask---it’s because I just found out that I have super sensitive sniffer and I need you to know as this election nears---Bob smells change in the air. A change that we can all believe in.

Signing off from Denver, Colorado. Hugs and Purrs to all.

Bob (and ghost writer, Janet Lopez)
