I feel like I've unlocked an achievement.

You leveled up on Ford Focus.

The jetstream has clearly shifted as it's gone from frickin' cold to merely brisk in SF. Got a muzzy Matilda to school just as the teacher was leading the class inside. JZ overlsept and had to rush to get to work on time. Nobody was quite ready for Tuesday.

If anyone starts getting a bad squeak from the rear of a 2007 (or thereabouts) Ford Focus, I know how to fix it for about $10 and 10 minutes of time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sperm Whales Adopt A Dolphin With Spine Deformity

ScienceNow is reporting that marine biologists working in the Azorean archipelago of the Northern Atlantic have discovered a group of sperm whales who appear to have taken in an adult bottlenose dolphin who has a rather serious spinal malformation. And it wasn't just a one-time encounter for the two species; the dolphin appears to be sticking around.

Other than the 'S' shape curvature to its body, the dolphin appears to be healthy. The researchers have virtually no way of knowing if the deformity has anything to do with the unprecedented inter-species co-mingling — though they suspect that it does.

Dolphins are a hierarchical species, so they may have shunned this particular member on account of its serious birth defect. In the words of one of the researchers, Alexander Wilson, "It might be that this individual didn't fit in, so to speak, with its original group." Or maybe it just couldn't keep up. For now, however, this will all have to remain speculative thinking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Was it a mouse???

So it costs $10 to hire a cat for 10 minutes to hunt for mice in your car?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Was it a mouse???

Please say yes even if it wasn't.

That is a really good hourly rate. I wonder if I should take up mouse-hunting.

Gud, have you had bad rattling noise from your dash vents? Mine are awful. The defrost ones aimed at the side windows. I have superglued them to stop the rattle.
