Vlad thinks the Swiffer is his mortal enemy, and chases it. Of course, he also thinks the kitchen chairs are his mortal enemies.
My friend's basset hound Chopper has learned how to turn on the Roomba just so he can chase it around and bark at it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you for the scanned burrito, -t. It was virtually delicious.
This is the first place I've ever lived that had garbage pickup. Before, it was apartment complexes with communal dumpsters, and I can't remember about the Nashville house, but I think we took our garbage to the dump ourselves. This may explain why I like watching the garbage guys throw my trash into their big truck on Tuesday mornings. It's so efficient; the truck picks up the bin and the garbageman doesn't even have to touch the trash.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was a kid we divided our garbage into stuff we burned, stuff that went in the manure spreader and stuff we hauled to the dump. My job was burning stuff, which was fun.

I was tommy as a kid. We lived out in the country and we burned our trash in a small pit next to the creek. We had two garbage cans for stuff that wouldn't burn, I don't remember how those got emptied.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's wonderful.

My job was burning stuff, too! We had a big concrete bucket-like thing ("firepit", I guess) with a hole in the bottom to pull ashes out of. Anything that couldn't burn, got dumped into a sinkhole, of which we had many. I'd love to go back and excavate those sinkholes.

We've had a pretty mild Summer so far. Why am I already looking forward to Fall?
Maybe it's because Fall is my favorite season, but I never start looking forward to it this early.

shrift, did the cleaning help?
Maybe? I'll monitor the refrigerator over the next few days to see if it made a difference. I also need to experiment a bit with where to store things since it's definitely colder in the back and warmer at the front.

I've had that problem too. I can put liquids in the back of the top shelf or they'll freeze when they're almost empty.

I've noticed that the hotter my kitchen is, the more likely the fridge is to over-cool. Probably has something to do with the sensors and humidity levels and whatzit. (Kitchen is the hotbox in the summer months.)
