Rest in Purrs, Emerald Sage

I said goodbye to my Emerald Sage on Tuesday.  She was the Queen of Finding Comfortable Spaces, and squawking at us.  That was her way of telling me to go to bed, or give her some wet food.  Her beautiful green eyes gave her the name Emerald, and Sage was her pound name.  She wasn't quite ten years old, but the kidney failure didn't care at all.  She was the sweetest cat I have had in my life and I will miss her every day.  Just like Dacya and TJ.  We never get them as long as we want, but they give us so much in return.  I wouldn't trade her for anything.

                  I hope this doesn't come across as bragging- it certainly wasn't meant that way.

Hero of the Week- Black Condor (Quality)

From Wiki-  A Golden Age superhero who possesses the power of flight, the Black Condor was created by writer Will Eisner under the pseudonym Kenneth Lewis, and artist Lou Fine in Crack Comics #1 (cover-dated May 1940).[3] Initially alternating with the Clock as the cover-featured character, he became the solo cover feature from issues #20-26 (Jan.-Nov. 1942). Fine drew the first 24 stories,[4] and his feature continued to run through issue #31.[5]   

As an infant traveling with his parents on an archaeological expedition thorough Outer Mongolia, Richard Grey Jr. survives after his family is killed by the bandit Gali Kan and his men. Rescued by a condor who raises him as her own, he learns to fly,[6] as the origin story states, by "studying the movement of wings, the body motions, air currents, balance and levitation" of his avian siblings. A mountain hermit, Father Pierre, eventually discovers and civilizes the feral child, and teaches him to speak English.[7] Richard tracks down and kills the Mongolian bandits who killed his parents and then departs for the United States where he uncovers a plot to kill United States Senator Thomas Wright. He is too late to save Wright from assassination, and so begins to use his identity.[8] He adopts the guise of Black Condor to fight crooked politicians, rum-running bootleggers, and racketeers.[9]  And now returning to me:

Space Master X-7 (1958)

 

From Wiki- Space Master X-7 is a 1958 American horror science fiction film in Regalscope from Regal Films, produced by Bernard Glasser, directed by Edward Bernds, that stars Bill Williams, Lyn Thomas, and Robert Ellis. Paul Frees, Judd Holdren, and Moe Howard have supporting roles.[2] The screenplay was written by George Worthing Yates and Daniel Mainwaring. A space probe returns to Earth, and samples from it are taken away to be investigated by scientist Dr Charles Pommer, working from his home laboratory. He quickly discovers that the mysterious microbes brought back from space, once dormant, grow quickly when fed protein, and he theorizes that Mars was possibly turned into a wasteland by this aggressive fungus. Spores from the fungus, which he christens 'Blood Rust', could easily be carried and transferred from person to person and the Earth itself could be threatened. Shortly afterwards the Blood Rust claims Pommer as its first victim but not before he manages to telephone agent John Hand to warn him of the danger. Back to me:
