@!#$%&*

some *ssh*le or *ssh*les came into our yard today and spray painted graffiti in three places on our garage, fence, and house.  

Don't know if "crip" is still a gang or if it is some slang I don't know but that's what's written.

At least no one broke into the house. Perhaps the dogs frightened 'em off?

in which I am a creature of habit

Tonight, I carried an armful of clothes into the laundry to put in the clothes hamper. I didn't bother turning on the lights because 1) my arms were full and 2) the hamper is always in the same spot.

So I dumped my armload of clothes and immediately remembered that last night I'd moved the hamper because of Stray Cat and soon realized that I had just deposited my clothes in a recently used litter box.
