I am back from Vay-cay. Nothing like ending a trip with the FAA delaying your flight, then running life a freaking maniac from Gate 34 to Gate 7 in Atlanta only to find my connection was ALSO delayed, then lots of "rough air" (as they seem to be calling it these days). Now home after 11 hours of travel time. Off to collapse.

I emailed Gus and got a reply from him early this am He is not in a good way but he seemed more upset about his venting last night.

This is just amazing:

A herd of cows in Sverdlovsk, Russia, will have to be fed confiscated marijuana as part of their winter diet after drug enforcement workers destroyed sunflowers and maize that 40 tonnes of dope had been planted among.

They're going to be able to charge a lot more for THAT beef, I tell you what.

The landlord accused me of putting the food out, so we got into it.

OMG! Yes, we had a similar thing last year. Well except for the part where we WERE feeding the dog who lived in the carpark opposite our flat. But she was a nice dog, and she'd just had puppies, and she was all skinny looking. But this was food given IN THE CARPARK, to a DOG. On the basis of us doing that, our boab (porter guy) decided that we were responsible for a chicken carcasse upstairs in the building, because he decided we were feeding the cats in the building too.

Our baffled denials were, he told our landlord, lies.

To say that things went from placid to warfare in under sixty seconds would be something of an understatement. We had much the same kind of discussion as the one you posted above, only with less Greek & German, and more patchy Arabic. And a lot of yelling.

I came in here and dumped my personal crap all over the thread yesterday. Apologies to all.

Mad-at-the-world posts should probably have a thread of their own. I would suggest that formally, but it would likely cause a foment in B'craxxy.

At times, I think we call it "Bitches".

At least, I know that's where my GRRRRRRRARGGGHHATEEVERYTHING goes.

Right now, though, all I hate is the insomnia monster. Groggy all day, up all night! Baby and spouse snoring gently!

ARGH!

However, baby still cute: [link]

I followed the link. The baby is cute. They all are, curse their sweet-smelling heads.

Mom and Pop on a Puget Sound ferry? The very stuff of nostalgia.

Gus!

Are you still looking for the GF pilot?

ION, I'm awake and unhappy about it. At least I get to look at cute Lily while I lie here.
