While I’m studying for final exams and completing my lab work in the genetics department here at Beige, the big news back home is the grand opening of Ms. Eyeshine’s expansion of her auto shop.
She got the money from Herd Thinners, Inc., making her one of the few individuals to come away from a negotiation with R.L. and live to tell about it. In addition to servicing the Herd Thinners fleet of cars and vans (required to transport fresh kills), Aby is also experimenting on alternative fuels. That makes Herd Thinners an investor in green technology. (Kell says R.L. hates the adjective Green; he thinks it sounds herbivorous.)
Gran and Elanor are still handling the business side of the auto shop, and they’ve discovered they make a good team as their managerial skills complement each other. The expansion means extra work for them, including hiring new staff. In this economy they have no shortage of applicants.
Ms. Eyeshine, meanwhile, is cool and composed throughout everything. She’s unflappable, calm and collected no matter what seems to get thrown her way. While felines do have the ability to land on their feet, that level of poise is rare for even them.
This week's question: What types of alternative fuels show promise on the human side of the portal?
