Woot Mystery Cat Toy Box

A few weeks ago, I bought a “Mystery Cat Toy Box” from Woot (http://home.woot.com/offers/mystery-cat-toy-box-1).  I love that Woot has been doing these themed mystery boxes, not quite a Bag of Crap, but there’s still some surprise to it.  Anyway, here is what I got in my box!

I opened the box and got….a box!

A box!

OK, I did get some actual stuff!  Inside the box that was inside a box:

All kinds of swag!

All kinds of swag!

We ended up with a laser pointer shaped like a dog, a catnip toy (easily their favorite), some plastic dishes, a collar and some stuff you put on cats nails after clipping them.  Unfortunately the dishes are too small for the appetites of our cats, so they made it to the local animal shelter.

Obviously at least one of the cats had to come explore.  Sweeney saw new stuff and had to check it out.

And of course with all the new stuff, Sweeney ended up in the box.  :-/

Adventures in flying

Last night was a weird night flying back home.  We boarded the plane and then two women left.  They seemed to be pleasant enough about it, but as I listened in on the flight attendants I gathered that these ladies were pretty intoxicated and were asked to leave the plane.  We ended up a little delayed while their checked baggage was pulled out.  Not too big of a deal, it was already a late flight and we only lost about 10 minutes.

Where it could have been disastrous is that I later found out the airport we were arriving at was shut down shortly after we arrived due to fog.  Apparently being able to see the runway and your approach path is a big deal or something.  Fortunately we landed safely, but we came pretty close to being diverted to another airport, which I gladly would have blamed on these total strangers, just because.
