An Engineer’s Guide to Cats

Posted in Personal Stuff by John E. Pannell on April 20th, 2008 at 5:26 pm

Here’s a little bit of silliness for your Sunday afternoon. Two professional engineers illustrate the proper care and practical benefits of cats. None of the cats, humans, or engineers were mistreated in the making of this film. They were however, slightly annoyed.

Those who are owned by cats or are cat lovers will appreciate this. Those who cannot understand the feline intellect may learn something. I present “An Engineer’s Guide to Cats.”

Lodge 237: 2008 S-4S Delegate Patch

Posted in Aal-Pa-Tah 237, Florida Lodges by John E. Pannell on April 20th, 2008 at 5:00 am

237 X59?Several of the S-4S lodges issued odd-shape patches for their delegates to the 2008 S-4S conclave. Collectors are not united in their opinion on how to list lodge delegate patches that are not flaps. Until the listing are officially updated, I have listed them as odd-shapes, “X” issues, in the main body of lodge issues.

Aal-Pa-Tah lodge’s issued green bordered oval. It features a pair of alligators depicted as an American Indian man and woman. I have listed this on the site as “X59?”.
