That statement describes Molly-T, it not only applies to her ability to get out of a door when she isn’t supposed to, but also in several other ways. She has a tendency to attempt to catch flies and other insects at the storm door. It doesn’t make her much difference whether the bug is inside or outside the glass, she attempts to catch them.
There was a movie named “The Karate Kid”, and in one scene he uses a set of chop sticks to catch a fly. Even though I may have the ability to catch a fly using chop sticks, most mortals could not come close.
I digress; the other night I walked into our bed room and observed Molly-T jumping and running all over our bed. It was as if she was possessed, which may be true. I walked closed to see why she was preforming acrobatics on the bed. Then I saw it, a common fly was maneuvering above the bed. After a few more jumps Molly-T dropped to the bed and lay there motionless. She opened her mouth and out came the fly. Yes that is yucky but the fly was still alive. Molly-T immediately pounced on the fly again, not killing it but wanting to continue the play. This capture and release program went on a few minutes until the fly gave up the ghost.
Molly-T is a lot of trouble but she is a good bug catcher/killer.
On another subject:
Why are the weather prognosticators (AKA weather people) referred to as Meteorologists?
Meteorologists is defined in part as; 1. The science dealing with the atmosphere and its phenomena, including weather and climate. 2. The atmospheric conditions and weather of an area.
Meteor is defined as; A bright trail or streak that appears in the sky when a meteoroid is heated to incandescence by friction with the earth's atmosphere.
I personally do not see how they came up with that name. It is my considered opinion that these people should be referred to as Weatherologists. The word weather seems to fit with what they do more than Meteor.

The Fords seem to be ready for the upcoming driveway sale even though the sign states Garage Sale. All of our items will be on the driveway and not in the garage. We don’t have a lot this time and there are no other families involved. I have one item in the sale and if I sell it I plan to purchase a new one (new one starts with a battery and has a very quiet muffler). If I don’t sell it that will be ok since it is still works.

I plan to ride with the Honda Group this evening as they are going to the Horny Toad. “The horned lizard is popularly called a "horned toad", "horny toad", ... which make it resemble a toad or frog.” There use to be lots of Horny Toads in our area when we first moved here. Over the years they have vanished mostly due to fire ants.
The Horny Toad we are going to is in Cranfills Gap, Texas and it is a restaurant of sorts. The locals eat there as it is the only restaurant in the little town, and Bikers from all over like to go there.
I will call it quits for now; hope you have an interesting day.
