Ann, that's a ferret.

I think it may be worse than some have actually shown, especially considering the American press's reticence to show dead bodies (not that I really think this is a bad thing).

That's a subject that the BBC America news is hitting hard -- why are dead bodies being left in the streets? And they're showing dead bodies (though at a discreet distance).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is it too early to start the "what should I have for lunch" talk?

How about the "what are people doing this weekend" talk?

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

Odds are they're from Anchorage, both because they have half the population of the state and because they often tend to think of themselves as being the whole state, but you never know.

Ah, Anchorage. As close as you can get to Alaska without actually being in it. That's a subject that the BBC America news is hitting hard -- why are dead bodies being left in the streets?

I read that article. It's almost unfathomable.

And sadly, the closest they're getting to an answer is, "We're focusing on helping the living."

OK, fair prioritizing as far as it goes. But responders shouldn't still be having to choose between feeding the living and collecting the dead at this stage.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Limited resources, I'd guess. Sadly, that's not the most pressing problem.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Asked if the move was a demotion, Brown said: "No. No. I'm still the director of FEMA."

Heh. Crazy denial land. It's like when a portion of fandom rejects a plot turn. "No, no, no! I disbelieve it. It didn't happen. Not my woobie!"

In better news, managing partner has Red Sox/Yankees tix he can't use, so he's auctioning a pair and raffling another for the Red Cross. $900 won the auction. Got my fingers crossed on that raffle; Bob would die if I got Sox/Yankees tickets.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Yes, Bob would. I would kill him and impersonate him as I accompanied you to the stadium.

"No, no, no! I disbelieve it. It didn't happen. Not my woobie!"

Michael Brown: I am my own woobie.

I might just pay to see Nutty impersonate Bob.
