Happy Birthday to Trudy and Aidan!
If this is Deena's Aidan, I'm nearly positive his birthday is February 5th (I know it's Feb., 2003 and that he was born before the sixth of the month).

I'm nearly positive his birthday is February 5th
However, my big sister Kara was born around this time of year, so maybe it's her birthday that you're posting about?
[Edit: 63=7*9. Also, this is Nilly's keyboard posting now, neither Aidan nor Kara. And Nilly is not really here, you see. Yes, Nilly's keyboard likes numbers too. It's obligatory, being in a room in the physics department and all that.]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Birthday Trudy!
Hi Nilly's keyboard!
A nearby arthouse-type theater is showing Cat People this morning. Coincidentally set in New Orleans.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
FEMA "shelters" are really "detention centers?"
He then precedes to tell us that some churches had already enquired into whether they could send a van or bus on Sundays to pick up any occupants of their cabins who might be interested in attending church. FEMA will not allow this. The occupants of the camp cannot leave the camp for any reason. If they leave the camp they may never return. They will be issued FEMA identification cards and "a sum of money" and they will remain within the camp for the next 5 months.
My son looks at me and mumbles "Welcome to Krakow."
This next passage they are talking to a FEMA Official...
He then points to the vegetables and fruit. "You'll have to take that back as well. It looks like you've got about 10 apples there. I'm about to bring in 40 men. What would we do then?"
My mother, in her sweet, soft voice says, "Quarter them?"
"No ma'am. FEMA said no...
It could cause a riot. You don't understand the type of people that are about to come here...."
I turn and walk out of the room...lugging all the healthy stuff back to the car. My son later tells me the man went on to say "We've already been told of teenage girls delivering fetuses on buses." My son steps toward him and says "That's because they've almost been starved to death, haven't had a decent place to get a good night's sleep, and their bodies can't keep a baby alive. I'm not sure that's any evidence some one should be using to show these are 'bad people'."
Looks like race is a HUGE feature of how people are responding to those displaced. This is really and truly fucked up.
What was it Barbara Bush said? Oh yes:
"This is working very well for them."

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Happy Birthday, Trudy!
I'm up obscenely early because it's the first Sunday of choir after our summer break. This year I decided to be sensible and instead of getting up at 7:15 or 7:30, taking a speed-shower, and eating a Luna bar and guzzling a soda in the car on the way to dashing in late to warm-up, that I would get up at 6:45 and eat breakfast before leaving. I may still end up dashing in late to warmup, though. Some traditions must be upheld.
