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

Does this seem possible:

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A teenage sleepwalker was rescued after being found fast asleep 130 feet (40 meters) up on the arm of a crane, police said on Wednesday.

Emergency services were called to a building site in London after a passer-by spotted the 15-year-old girl curled up on top of a concrete counterweight high above the ground.

The teenager, who has not been named, had climbed up the crane and walked across a narrow metal beam while fast asleep during the incident, which happened on June 25.

Damn. I'd hate to wake up on top of a giant crane, not knowing how I got there. Or even knowing how I got there.

Since Canada has universal health care for basic health care servcies, their health care coverage costs are much lower in Canada.

My prediction is that the U.S. will end up with universal health care. At some point business groups are going to start wanting it, once some serious money gets behind the idea, it will happen.

So are you not going to go to London in January anymore?

Alibelle, probably not, no. Are you still going to Dublin?

Are there pictures of Kat's ring that I've missed with all my dastardly post-skipping?

Rio, I haven't posted a picuture. It's a simple ruby, oval cut in white gold with four tiny diamond slivers at each corner of the ruby.

But that day might get here faster if tidbits like that were front and center rather than tagged on the end of the article. Eh, at least they threw it in there at all.

What is even happening?

Dude.
Dresses with va va voom.
Oh, yeah. I particularly want the first one.

Oooooh, Kat. That sound gorgeous. Will you post a picture, eventually?

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

I want the second dress. Though tops with boob pockets rarely are sized to fit me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I love the second dress. No way I'm a medium, though.

I also like Purple Party Time and Rock On.

My forecast includes "localized areas of street flooding." That just ain't right.
