A Measure of Order

My paws carried me past the study door into the hallway this morning. On a low wooden console shelf, I spotted an uncapped yellow highlighter lying sideways across a miniature wooden ruler. *Ahem.* Naturally, proper alignment was necessary. Sitting patiently before it, I assessed the angle. Then, leaning forward with steady paws, I carefully rolled the highlighter until its straight edge ran exactly parallel to the inch markings on the ruler. A thorough inspection confirmed zero degrees of deviation. A most productive start.
