Question: is there a small-but-useful tool for hooking a car door and pulling it shut using your inside hand?
My grabber thing is too big / unwieldy for the space
Searching Amazon has given a list of things to get *into* the car, but that's not my issue -- just need to close the driver-side door

Then that $59 gets doubled by Brian ➡️ $118
And that $118 will buy a full bag of groceries for 5 kids! 🔥 Or 262 apple sauce pouches 😄

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.
Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.
Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.
