Why does Pipsquirt run behind the tarp? I don’t know. Seems more of a habit than a purpose.

But when I descend the stairs, it is a step in my system: check the perimeter. Doors locked, windows closed, shades down, light timers working.

Purposeful, well-thought out, organized habits. Systems.

Pipsquirt, well she’s just hoping she can find some big-game, like a beetle or the occasional cricket that finds its way in through the garage.
