Case in point, Dirt, the cat.
I have a friend who loves trains. I think there is no place he'd rather be than on them, near then, taking pictures of them, or writing about them. Though we probably haven't seen each other in decades, I follow him on social media...I love his passion for trains. Because of that, I found out about Dirt, the mascot of the Nevada Northern Railroad Museum in Ely, Nevada.
You can read all about Dirt by clicking: HERE. The page has a link to the feline's obituary.
You may not be interested in trains, railroad museums, or cats, but if you take a minute or two, you'll read of an extraordinary cat, one that did not like people, but became an icon anyway. I loved the story. I think mostly because I believe there's a little bit of Dirt in all of us.
Thanks, Thomas for pointing me in the direction of an amazing story. I wish I could have met Dirt in person, and even though he'd probably not be in a hurry to meet me, I would have felt the opposite.
