That’s too bad. We have a former feral black cat we got after he came to live in our driveway 3 yrs ago. The shelter that neutered him said he was a year old and that that meant he might not ever trust humans or be a real pet. But he is – he’s wonderful.

This is Gracie (male.) He’s 4 now.

I’ve decided he was sent as a team effort, by my mom, our friend Bonnie, and our dog Pinky, who died 3, 2, & 1 year before Gracie appeared in our driveway, all within a couple of days of each other’s anniversaries. He’s named for Bonnie, who was a friend of ours since college & only 50 when she died. Her last name was Gracer.

I don’t think Gracie can help me with today’s challenge (we’re never supposed to use our own anything in this game, right?) but he’s awesome, so I wanted to share. He’s clearly been great luck for us. Doesn’t even trigger my husband’s cat allergies!

So it was about noon before I realized it wasn’t Friday. Thank you, Drevil thought I’d gained a day.

Here is my Black Lives ladder, oops, no my Black Lives Matter ladder. Thanks KBikeVA for the adventure.

I waited by a ladder for two hours hoping a black cat would cross my path and walk under the ladder. Or, maybe I didn’t. Maybe, I stopped by the GrillMarX across the street at the end of my ride.

3/13/2021 Black cat, ladder or umbrella

While on my ride today I did see a few ladders being carried by trucks moving on the secondary roads but, alas, I was not fast enough to take a picture of any of those ladders. Yesterday, on my ride through neighborhoods I did see a number of ladders leaning against houses where work was being done. However, today, we really were not in neighborhoods so no such luck. But, we were at two parks. And, what is sometimes at parks? Why playground equipment. I found the playground equipment and sure enough there was a ladder. I was hoping not to worry the parents while I quickly captured a picture of the ladder on the playground equipment. Nobody chased me down as I left the playground so I guess I wasn’t too worrisome to the parents.

This is the elegant restaurant up in Friendship Heights. I also stopped by the grittier Black Cat club on 14th Street, but that didn’t have an image of a cat.

My first thought was to ride to the Black Cat (he did say words were ok), but then I realized I wanted no part of going into DC on a Saturday. I knew a real ladder or a patio umbrella at a restaurant would be an easy find.

My black cat is definitely cooler than this, but this falls within the rules of the game better. I think.

It’s 2 playground ladders on a climbing structure at glencarlyn park.

I rode trails, late….. I took forever to get out on the bike today because I woke with a headache that took all day to dissipate, despite Advil, Sudafed & naproxen. Because [emoji2358] spring. Getting out isn’t the problem – it’s putting a helmet on a headache. [emoji33]

My cat never gives me headaches – though he is kinda crazy sometimes [emoji16][emoji1744]

I decided to go for the trifecta: ladder on the left, (patio) umbrellas on the right, and a package with a picture of a black cat. Not pictured: the much taller ladder the Home Depot employee told me I had to stop dragging around the store.

Multi ladders leaning on tree visible from the trail..
Given the large dog I heard barking after I slammed my breaks to grab the photo, it may indeed have been very bad luck to try to walk under them!
