"Twenty Five Miles" by Edwin Starr (1942-2003) is one of my favorites. If you saw "Adventures in Babysitting," you'll know this was part of the movie soundtrack. Starr is mainly known for the song: "War." www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6fT...

This is Snoopy's Gotcha Day. I adopted this senior cat from our animal shelter in 2021. I was told his first human died. And they named him Snoopy. Not sure of his age, but he's probably about 14 now. Maybe a little older. He's very sweet. I am lucky to have him.
