I'm busy trying to figure out how my heating bill climbed to $123 last month (thanks, NW Natural) and how a abandoned car wound up in my bushes while I was out of town over the weekend. I suspect the Seahawks' loss has something to do with the later. I got back into Portland at 2 AM last night and there it was, perhaps an inadvertent present from a Lewis and Clark undergrad with poor driving skills. My neighborhood is infested with those buggers.

The car was still there when I got home from work tonight. If it is indeed abandoned and remains in the bushes for a certain period of time, do I get to keep it? And all the Ani DiFranco CDs on the front seat? I've got soaring energy costs to deal with here and that car and the CDs together have to be worth at least $400.

Back tomorrow with more of the same.
