March 4, 2005 | INKOM, Idaho (AP) -- Torri Hutchinson's cat might just have one less life to live. Hutchison was driving along Interstate 15 one day recently when a motorist kept trying to get her attention and pointing to the roof of her car. She said she was wary of the man, but wondered if perhaps her ski rack might have come loose.

She pulled over to the side, but kept her doors locked and the motor running.

The man pulled up behind her. Hutchinson rolled down her window to hear the man frantically shouting, "Your cat! Your cat!"

He reached for the roof of her car and handed the shocked Hutchinson her orange tabby.

She had driven about 10 miles with the cat on top of the car, and didn't even notice the feline when she stopped for gas.

Hutchinson said Cuddle Bug, or C.B. for short, had climbed into the back of her car as she was getting ready to leave. She put him out, but he must have jumped on the roof while she wasn't looking, she said.

It is notably lighter out, I'll give the earth that.

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time over the past few days on stuff for my friend's wedding, but at least the shower gift is bought and the hotel room is reserved now.

Unfortunately, that does not mean spring in my neck of the woods.

You do get longer days, though, right?

Otherwise I'd ask for a refund and go somewhere else.

Also, I hate my broiler.

Yeah.

The fuck is wrong with people? I'm watching helicopter footage of Martha Stewart feeding her horses.

Eek. That's one tenacious cat.

nobody knew to remove the lymph node from it before cooking and serving. Blech.

I don't even know what this means? Explain?

I used my toaster oven all the time when I had one, but now I don't have the counter space. There are some combo microwaves/toaster ovens on the market that I wanted to get, but they mostly had crappy reviews on the online sites I checked.

My steamer is this: [link] , which I love, and gets much more use than when I had a specific rice cooker since you can use it for all kinds of things. I think the rice comes out better too anyway. I got mine at a thrift store for $6, too, which was nice.

I just realized that I have my shirt on inside-out. Tags and seams are hidden by my sweater, but still -- gronk, much?

My mother always used to say that was good luck.

I'm going to adopt this. Much nicer on the ego than "34 and still can't dress myself".

Here's Looking at You, Kid
Sin City's mayor made no apologies Thursday after being criticized for extolling gin to a class of fourth-graders. Mayor Oscar Goodman said he was just being himself when he told elementary school students that drinking was one of his hobbies and that the one thing he would want if stranded on an island is a bottle of gin. "I answered the question honestly," Goodman told reporters. "I'm not going to lie to children. I'm not going to say I would take a teddy bear or a Bible." Asked if he had a drinking problem, Goodman answered, "Oh, absolutely not. I love to drink." Moments later, he cut off questions and walked out of the news conference. Goodman has never been shy about his love of gin and hosts regular "Martinis with the Mayor" events.
