Perhaps a “mistake” made on a day in the 70’s...

In the process of cleaning my desk, I'm pretty sure I managed to throw out the registration/license tabs for our beater car.

The next logical step is to clean the garage.

He can always use the other one.
2020 has probably taught many of us bilateral bird flipping skills.

Working on a rental awhile back, I saw evidence that a critter was in the attic. I poked my head up there and didn't see anything, so I figured it had found a way out. A cooler day comes around, so I turn on the electric furnace. Yes, the critter had found its way into the furnace, and stinking smoke is now getting pumped throughout the house. OMFG. Turns out it was a possum. Okay, all clear, time to clean up. Days later, I open the furnace to clean it up, and what do I find: another (live) possum caught in the blower housing. I had removed the heating coils to access the first possum, so this guy fell all the way down into the blower. I dump him outside and he wanders off. Okay, all clear, continue cleaning up (and patch the d-d duct). After many days, we begin to suspect there is a third possum. It took longer to find him, because he had died in the attic buried in insulation, so I had to nose him out (yuck). So I guess it was a litter of possums who found themselves trapped after our roofer fixed things. Who would have guessed?
LTDR: If you think there's a critter in your attic, set a trap. You can borrow the one I bought after it didn't matter anymore.
PS- None of the critters were wearing striped shirts. In memory of lost possums, here is one of my favorite single-panel Pogos:

Update on me being dumb: the tubes and fat springbars don't give a damn about my wire cutters. It's either dremel time or maybe I'll just accept its fate as a fixed lugs watch.
