...things have happened to your old buddy Gordo since you last heard my signal, soon after I crash-landed through the Tanner family's garage roof and decided to stay here in sunny California. There are drawbacks: this place earth is so outsville you can't buy a whisker omelet or a tabby-paw pie. Here, when people stroke cats, they aren't even trying to get the meat tender for sauteing.
