Ah -- Ray Wise! I thought I knew him from somewhere.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Huh. Neat:
City workers were conducting a regular structural inspection of the bridge last Wednesday when they came across the cold-war-era hoard of water drums, medical supplies, paper blankets, drugs and calorie-packed crackers — an estimated 352,000 of them, sealed in dozens of watertight metal canisters and, it seems, still edible.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm wondering if it's possible to create an aerogel-like substance that has no air molecules spaced in between its atoms. And if that's possible, would it be lighter than air?
Unlikely. Take the air out, and the structure collapses. Plus, the molecular skeleton is still heavier than air, and if you collapse it, it'll be a lot less buoyant. It'd be a lot like taking the air out of an air mattress.

My ex brought home a can of those crackers one time, when our town cleaned out an old fallout shelter. (She was working for the town at the time.) They make great dog biscuits.

Things that are wrong with today:
- headcold. Something is trying to escape my right sinus and not in a good way.
- had to get up early to drop car off at mechanic's for oil change and general once over
- mechanic: $$$. Never fails.
- 20 minute walk in 30 degree weather with a headcold
- and the kicker? NO HOT WATER. I had to take a soup pot shower. I feel scummy. I am sick. I really needed a long hot shower.
Please excuse me while I cancel today.

Darn it! I totally meant to watch the Grey's Anatomy Nightline. Did anyone? Was it good?

Is now the time to mention that, during World War II, MREs still came with water-and-flour crackers in them? They were the exact same recipe as hardtack, which had been a staple of Civil War rations.

Except that they were called K-rations, not MREs.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess now was not the time to mention it, then.
I changed face washes over the weekend. It feels supremely weird. But not necessarily bad.
