'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yay nerve block!
The reason they want to move? So they can own property.
My friend's husband found a new job that is in a place with a lower cost of living (and they lived there before and liked it), better schools, a shorter commute, people he's worked with before and likes, and even though she has to leave her job here, they come out financially ahead with this move. It's a no-brainer.
Hmph.
Not true. The Fourteenth Amendment applies the Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment, to the states.
Smarty lawyer is, of course, correct -- I was just thinking of the original part of the Constitution and not the amendments. And I agree that it's way unlikely that this will get anywhere even if it did get to the court, but, yeah, nutso state leg.
(But, sadly, I know people who would just love to ditch the 14th.)
Sweet. Insent, Tom.
Today's fortune cookie:
Romance awaits you.
Even my fortune cookie knows that I have a date with Rodney McKay tonight.
Sad story. A commuter train ticket agent was killed today (her 55th birthday) when an SUV slammed into the station at high speed. The driver ran away on foot; police are tracking him down.

I saw that on the news this morning. The SUV was driving in the parking lot when it smashed though a brick wall and ended up inside the station.
How fast does an SUV need to go to smash through a brick wall?
What's with the runaway SUV's today? Some idiot plowed into 5 people in the middle of the UNC campus today, and I can't even figure out how you'd get a car onto that part of the campus.

That's the whole point of a SUV, to go places where a car can't.
...using far more gas than any mere car could.
I remember when I was a kid, a car drove into the front of a downtown church (just skipped the curb and didn't stop until it hit the front of the building). Since nobody was hurt, everyone made jokes about the church, known for its quicky Masses (usually over in 20-25 minutes) that were great for those just looking to fulfill their weekly obligations, now providing drive-in Masses.
