Friend called me last night freaking out because her cat had killed a mouse, and rodents are a THING with here. (Think Jilli and spiders turned up to 11.) So I came over with with one of those thing Ben Franklin invented to pick up books with, dropped dead mouse into baggie, baggie into garbage. Then I clean the gadget with hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, soap and water followed by more hydrogen peroxide followed by a through drying. Then I cleaned by hands with soap and water, followed by rubbing alcohol,followed by hydrogen peroxided followed by more soap and water and a good drying. Possibly I'm not completely cool with dead rodents myself...

I'm wiggy enough about Dead Things that I don't find it strange at all, Typo Boy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I went to downtown Evanston for lunch. Got sleeted on on my way back. Also, I have cupcakes.

Our dogs recently killed a raccoon in our backyard, cleaning that up wasn't fun. Though, now that I think about it, far better than road kill patrol way back when I did highway work.

Can you tell Arial from Helvetica:
I missed BSAF and TARGET. The all-caps throw me. The rest, though -- once you know the things to look for, it's pretty easy. (Helvetica doesn't have the slants on things like the top of lower-case t and the ends of lower-case c.)

Helvetica doesn't have any slants at all. All the strokes terminate at right angles. You can see a slight slant in the uppercase Arial “S”. The uppercase Helvetica “R” and “G” are quite distinctive, too.
