On New Year's Day as it got near bedtime, I noticed something. Or, rather, a lack of something. Cinder had been in the house most of the day, as had the other cats, since it was cold and snowy. But whereas Dortmunder and Vin tend to spend a lot of time napping in closets or under furniture, Cinder always lets us know where he is. He flops down on the floor where we are constantly walking from kitchen to living room, or is curled up on the couch for hours at a time where the kids like to sit. The point is, it's never a mystery where he has gotten himself off to. So we looked around and concluded that he was not in the house after all.

In N Out
There's something nice about going somewhere for fast food that isn't so cookie-cutter. It's different. It's rare. Will I drive 30 miles out of my way to go? No. Will I go 5 miles? Yes.

Hybrid Cars

Diet Coke
2 months. 40 pounds. 'Nuff said.

Convertibles
Again with the blasting of something just because you can't have one. Ok, in Utah, yes. Convertibles are a bad idea. If you live somewhere that doesn't ever snow, however, they're awesome. You obviously have never flown down the highway at 80mph with the top down.
