So a brown and white cat has been appearing on my balcony for the past few weeks. I live on the second floor, so I can't imagine how a stray cat would get up there. All the balconies on the floor are connected with partitions between them, so it might be a neighbor's cat that they allow out on their balcony.
But this time it spotted me behind the glass door, and meowed, so I had to let it in! It explored the whole place, and I offered it some cat food, but it wasn't interested. That leads me to believe the cat might be well fed, thus meaning it belongs to someone. But, there is no collar.
I left the sliding door open so it can come and go, but I'm not going to deny that I considered "kidnapping" the cat. My last cat passed in 2014, and I would like another one. I must ask around to see if anyone else knows where the cat comes from. Right now, I just don't know if it's a stray or not.

If there's a common area in your building, like a lobby with a bulletin maybe you can photograph the cat and ask someone to send you an email if it's theirs.

Before you do decide to take the permanent step, and especially since it doesn't seem to be a feral, make sure you get the cat scanned for a microchip.
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors - and miss.

It's probably curious. Cats are like that. If you let it come and go as it pleases it will soon let you know if it wants to move in and adopt you. If it keeps disappearing for long periods, it probably has a home to go to.
Just hope it's not an un-neutered tom!

Some bands are like Trigger (from Only Fools and Horses, for non-UK readers). Trigger, who was a street-sweeper by trade, proudly boasted that he'd had the same broom for many years. Of course he'd replaced the brush many times, and also the broom-handle several times, but overall it had lasted well!
There are quite a few bands soldiering on with (it appears) only the name left from the original lineup!

I could have sworn I read that the lead singer had died, but there was the voice.

That must have been it, thank you (the guitarist. I’ve never heard of I’ll Divo. I think.)

Me neither. They appear to be one of those 'pretty boy' vocal groups that was (is?) popular on Public Television during their fund drives, next to the 'pretty girl' groups, and Irish clod stompers: IL DIVO - Amazing Grace[^]

Like I said, weird, but I like Glass Beams, too.
Very good musicians and nice pace.
80's for me was grad school and work at University.
Still listening to Glass Beams. Very good.
Here some of my likes

The Spectrum is back, sort of. It comes with Manic Miner and The Hobbit. I spent hours playing these. The UK pre-order is here[^].
