Recently, I was at the car wash vacuuming the crumbs and gathering random rubbish out of my vehicle. I was appalled at the mess that had built up, creating a layer of broken toy, winter glove, and granola bar wrapper rubble that had become a geographical layer of debris.

I stuck my hand in and discovered a couple of old paper napkins and then, thanks to my darling children, a rubber SNAKE.
