| | Last night the kitty tried to seduce me. Disturbing.
Also, I'm sitting here trying to decide if I should bring the dogs inside from the rain. It hasn't been raining hard, the dogs have a lot of room in the backyard, and they have a lot of big evergreen trees and their dog house for shelter. So it seems okay to me. I mean, they are dogs after all. But it just occurred to me that I don't know the standard procedure for handling such an issue. Since Washington (where the house owners are) is three hours ahead it's too early to call to ask.
It's struck me since graduating that there are a lot of small, but nevertheless important, details about generally living life of which I am surprisingly unaware of the proper answer. For example, I'm completely ignorant on how to maintain cars. I'm just as clueless about the proper steps to solve any problem under the hood of a car as am about an elaborate algebraic problem (actually I could probably handle the algebraic problem better, even though I haven't done any real math in years). Also, I'm mostly clueless as to the prices of food in grocery stores. I know how much it should cost me to buy a weeks worth of food from living one summer in an apartment, but other than that I don't know anything. Apartments are another issue too. I think I'm savvy enough to know what a good and bad apartment looks like and what to check for, but I have no knowledge of signing leases or what is even standard in them. It's amazing to me the amount of unapplicable knowledge a person can have (at least for daily situations) while being clueless about common sense issues.
