By the time people climb the driveway (which I like to privately think of as the Cliffs of Despair), hit their head on the badly-placed low-hanging eave next to the front door steps, and pick their way through whatever half-eaten mangled object my cat has left for me today, most of them have got the idea.

But I used to be able to tell people to find my apartment by looking for the Tasmanian Devil "Beware" mat. It was the first thing I bought myself for this apartment almost four years ago. And I'm not even going to mention the rent check that was underneath it. That's gone, too.
