You see, but you do not deduce

Quick post today as I'm late, late, late getting in to work. Kage is currently staying overnight at the vet's so he can put her on an IV and start her on antibiotics. She's dehydrated and feverish with an elevated white blood count. Her kidneys are also tender. He thinks it may be some sort of abdominal infection though we're both mystified as to what might have caused it. I got the sense that he thought she might have eaten some foreign object, or maybe gotten into something poisonous. She has been known to eat random things off the floor, so I suppose that's a possibility, but there aren't any chemicals around that she could easily get into. Hopefully we'll know more after her blood tests come back.

Second, to all those radio traffic announcers who seemed to feel that after 9 a.m. they were no longer obligated to talk about what a cluster-fuck every major highway in this area was (but especially 101), may you all burn in the lowest, most fiery pit of Hell.

That is all.
