Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Okay. If it's front drive and the problem is with the front axle -- specifically fromt left -- is that better or worse, in terms of "chances Lyra will die in a crash as a result of this"?

I talked to my boss who's a big car expert - he agree with what someone said above, that there would have to be tons of bad noise before anything as bad as a wheel falling off could happen. He says to not accelerate hard with the steering wheel cranked all the way to one side (like, if you were pulling out of a parking spot) and that something could still break, but the odds of it being a catastrophic safety problem are very tiny.

I'm on some kind of high from my morning's workout. The gym has roving personal trainers, and now my psoas stretch is so much better. Plus, the lady with the towel also has ice packs. And then there's the hot tub.

This is the really pricey swanky gym, right?

Thank you, tommyrot. I feel so much better about driving home today. This counts as your good deed for the day, and it's not even noon!

Yay! I can go home now!

OK, maybe not.

Oh, can I go home too?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm thinking you need to join this gym.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah. It makes me want to cry. And I haven't even made it upstairs yet. You know, where the main rooms are.

Huh, I guess that thing with Marty happened so long ago that I forgot it. I felt like I hadn't seen him since last year, but it had to be since only a couple of months ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay! I can go home now!

No, you can go to heaven now.

Hey, does anyone here watch Judging Amy? I saw a little of last night's episode, and she had a miscarriage? That's weird since I'm pretty sure Amy Brenneman is preggo in real life. What are they going to do??
