Moisture

If there's one word to define Florida it would be moist. We are surrounded by oceans, most of the state south of Orlando is swamp, and it rains. It rains a lot. In fact sometimes it is hard to tell if it's very humid or it's raining.

Yesterday morning I got up, fed the cats, and took Chandler out for his walk. It was obvious that it had rained a lot overnight. As I walked through our parking lot with the dog, I noticed that Mark had left the windows open on the car... again. I opened the car door, and the noxious odor of wet dog fur and damp upholstery wafted out. The seats were soaked. Our car has had so much rain in it over the years that I've actually thought about turning it into a mushroom farm. The seats already have some kind of fungus growing out of them, so I might as well grow a crop of mushrooms. In fact now that I think about it, the car seats might be the source of the fungus infection I got on my ass a couple of years ago. Luckily none of this will show up on Carfax if I ever try to sell the thing.

  1. Why not just install a covered carport like the one down the street or those the ones that anchor to the pavement with a metal or heavy tarp roof.
    Of course the cheap way out would be to type up a nice sign and tape it to the steering wheel reminding Mark to roll up the car windows before exiting the vehicle.

  3. Garrett, why do all your solutions involve me spending money?

    Hostess, yes they do. In fact one of the boys was walking around in it wearing only underpants last week. (Chandler likes to walk past that house. I'm not stalking.)

  4. That is why I made the alternative "low-cost" solution of using a pen, paper, and tape to make a sign to place on the steering wheel that simply reads, "Please close windows before exiting vehicle." See I'm being considerate of your finances.
