This week I'm putting my gas theory to the test. I'm doing a lot of highway driving, working three days this week out in Bell Canyon, plus two nights in the Santa Monica area. I'm driving at slightly off hours, so I won't be in the heaviest stop and go traffic, which brings efficiency down. I went all the way down to "E" and the warning light, and filled up the tank. I know that I would usually get 310-312 miles off of this normally, I'll see how I do this week.

What are people feeding their pets right now? Schmedly has had to go back to 100% crunchies since he finally ate his way through my stash of non-recalled canned food. I've tried a couple of other things, mushy people food and whatever cans of "TUNA for CATS" that is the only thing Trader Joe's still has on the shelves, both of which were big duds. I have yet to venture forth to find the Tender Vittles packets, but I know he needs a little more wet food in his life. My pal Heather has been feeding her beloved geriatric cat Melvin a homemade concoction for a few years now, and it might finally be time for me to jump on board the DIY cat food band wagon.
