Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think I may try to leave early today. It's slow here, and I just jerked awake for the second time in about 5 minutes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just jerked awake for the second time in about 5 minutes.
That's waking up at least one time to many.
I overheard a strange piece of conversation in the coffee room today:
It's like in the old times. You know, the old times, a long time ago when they used to have wars? It's like that.
I can't begin to guess.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I am not armed or poor or conservative. I do, however, live in a Red State and drink tea.
Not a Red State! Though I can see how that might be harder to see on your end of it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Go home Perkins! Get rest.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Not a Red State!
Brenda is so correct. Wisconsin voted Blue, if only because "Democrat" and "Republican" have a similar number of letters, give or take a letter or so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's like in the old times. You know, the old times, a long time ago when they used to have wars? It's like that.
The times when Dwarves and Elves still walked Middle Earth? Or the times of Germans in pointy hats?

Gun disguised as cellphone: [link]
At first sight it looks like a regular cell phone — same size, same shape, same overall appearance.
But beneath the digital face lies a .22-caliber pistol, a phone gun capable of firing four rounds in quick succession with a touch of the otherwise standard keypad.
The US Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are aware of the device and have instructed baggage screeners to be on the lookout for suspicious mobile phones. This is especially after 9/11.
European law enforcement officials — stunned by the discovery of these deadly decoys — say phone guns are changing the rules of engagement in Europe.
Airport authorities across Europe are implementing systems to X-ray all cell phones
“We find it very, very alarming,” says Wolfgang Dicke of the German Police union. “It means police will have to draw their weapons whenever a person being checked reaches for their mobile phone.”

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My getting things done trend continues! I left work shortly after 6 and was in teh neighborhood by 7:15. I made it to the bank to deposit checks, to the ice cream store for DUH! ice cream, and the pharmacy for scripts. Missed the dry cleaners, but that is ok.
You all know how happy getting tasks done makes me, BUT IT GETS BETTER. In the mail? a check for $60 for ebay stuff, and a box with my recent ebay purchase of 9 vintage dress patterns. WHEE!
