Anthropomorphizing
The Davis T station has had a cherry picker in it for a couple of weeks (to change the light bulbs? I don't know). Each time I see it, I wonder how it got in - there's all these stairs and low ceilings and it's not really the sort of space that I imagine construction equipment driving into trivially. In fact, it reminds me a lot of Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel - does anyone else remember that? Jerry never read it when he was little, but I thought it was a very sad story as a kid. (Published in 1939! Wow!)
Then, as we got back to the house after brunch, we spotted one of the living room coasters out in the street, apparently trying to escape. Jerry eventually decided he had dropped it when he went to ditch the vase of older flowers in the compost bin. He picked it up and apologized to it all the way in, and promised to wash it.
