When I was preparing a poster for a protest, I cut the poster board in half to fit the backing for it. Since I needed space on the table to do my lettering and pasting, I left the other half on the kitchen floor while I worked.

a 6 week old kitten from the Humane Society, we could not find it. We had a small efficiency apartment at the time, so there were not many places the kitten could have gone. We got worried about where he could be.
