another nite at #5

was a nice swim today at george wyth's faux-beach. a good way to relax after a couple days of car fiascos. finished reading into the wild tonite too. had wanted to do that while i was here in waterloo. started and finished it here. saw a crazy, mangy cat earlier. went to pet him after a few minutes of him running away and then coming back and meowing like a fool. he would stand on his hind legs to reach my hand half way; standing like a squirrel when it senses food or oncoming traffic. it was like he was "giving me five" with his head. scratched his back too but that pissed him off. the head; he loved.
