Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So I drove to work today and then poked around some more to figure out what was going on--and I'm now 98% sure I found the problem. There was a drain hole under the hood that was plugged with rotting leaves, and it looks like the excess water would drain down under the driver's door and also into the dash. So go me! For... using my brain, I guess.

Go you, tommy! Is it a Chevy? The exact same thing happened to my previous car.

Go tommy! Poking around ftw.

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

No, it's my 2012 Focus.

I've been noticing leaves building up under the hood for a while now but I've been too lazy to clean them out. Learned my lesson, I did.

I am SHOCKED that it isn't mentioned in the owner's manual.

Punishingly Intricate

Wait, I remember hearing about this kitty crack pad, what is it?! Do I need to get it for my kittens?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

What I really hate is taking the cat to the vets in a taxi or on a bus. The yowling is even more mortifying.

Maybe it is? I've spent most of my time in the owner's manual trying to figure out the infotainment system.

You didn't read it cover to cover before you started the car the fist time?

Kidding, in case that is not obvious.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I leave my cat's carrier out between the sofa and the tv. It has a towel and some toys in it, and Leifur uses it as a hangout most of the time. So it's not too hard to get him into it for the vet. It would be harder to do this with multiple cats, I imagine, unless I wanted to make cat carriers a decorating theme.

And I got another "Thanks, but no thanks" from a prospective employer. At least I know my email works.

I leave my main carrier out and open and the cats sometimes lounge in it, but if I try to put them in it it's a whole different ballgame.
