Anyone seen this week's Onion? The front page has the greatest picture and headline (on the top-right, in the section that has headlines that don't actually have stories to go with them, so there's nothing to link to except the Onion's front page: [link] )

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

Something of a PSA:
Many credit card issuers to double minimum monthly payments
So far the bank that holds all three of our cards where we're carrying a balance (Chase) isn't among the ones who've announced plans to do it. But if they do? The point when they start is when I'll absolutely have to be in a job. Because we're paying more than the minimum now, but nowhere near double the minimum.
Argh.

I can't even.
Americans don't need to make up a holiday for August.
Uh, who doesn't need a holiday in August?
You be quiet, Tom. We need EVERY EXCUSE AVAILABLE for extra holidays.
IJS. Our excuse is pretty flimsy, but we're sticking to it.

Why not?
Wait, is National Ice Cream Day in August?
(post-google, no, it's in July, but Aug 2 is Nat'l Ice Cream Sandwich Day)

I also do not have a CDL, and thus legally cannot drive a semi.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Like that would stop you if you hijacked a truck of liquid shit.

So what are the traditional ways to celebrate the "August Civic Holiday?" Take a city worker to lunch? Dress up as "Miss Civic Pride?" Drink heavily?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Aug 2 is Nat'l Ice Cream Sandwich Day
The 13th is International Lefthanders' Day.
Though I've only ever seen it celebrated in the UK.

So what are the traditional ways to celebrate the "August Civic Holiday?"
Beer, barbeques, fireworks.
Unless it's foggy, then there's just beer.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The 6th is my birthday, or "Jour du Scrappy" as some might call it.
