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.
Happy anniversary to them that's celebrating them.
Any of you morbid weirdos who wan'ted to see a picture of my ankle, here. The bruising is fading from yesterday, and the massive swelling is finally going down, but we're still twitchy enough about it that I have a call into the doctor to get his opinion.
U.S. losing its middle-class neighborhoods
Metro areas show widening gap between rich and poor sections
INDIANAPOLIS - Middle-class neighborhoods, long regarded as incubators for the American dream, are losing ground in cities across the country, shrinking at more than twice the rate of the middle class itself.
In their place, poor and rich neighborhoods are both on the rise, as cities and suburbs have become increasingly segregated by income, according to a Brookings Institution study released today. It found that as a share of all urban and suburban neighborhoods, middle-income neighborhoods in the nation's 100 largest metro areas have declined from 58 percent in 1970 to 41 percent in 2000.
Good thing we gave all those tax cuts to the middle class instead of the rich, seeing as the rich are already doing so well....

Huh. Every time I break bones or suffer some other serious injury, there's no swelling.
WESTMINSTER, Colorado - A motorcyclist died after apparently being struck by lightning while riding in rush hour traffic on a highway between Denver and Boulder, police said.
Witnesses reported seeing a flash of light shortly before the motorcyclist struck the highway's center concrete divider, Westminster police spokesman Tim Read said in a statement.
The man, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead at the scene Wednesday. His motorcycle came to rest about 150 meters from where lightning blasted an 18-by-8-inch crater 4 inches deep that blew chunks of asphalt across the highway and slightly damaged other vehicles.
Wow. I woulda' thought that a motorcycle would be safe, seeing as it rides on tires which would insulate it from the ground... unless it was the motorcycle hitting the crater that caused the accident.
Happy anniversaries, Fred & Hubs and amych & DH!!!

That would be me, wouldn't it? THANKS!
I swear I came to work with a positive attitude. I SWEAR.
grr.
Just following up on yesterday's very pleasant food discussion: inspired, we went to John's pizza last night but Bob wouldn't let me get anchovies. But I did have corn gelato after, which was delicious. And then a stomachache from eating too much.
I've never even heard of corn gelato. It sounds good. (except for the thing below)
I woke up to a migraine. I can't decide if it's safe to go back to bed yet or not, what with the naseuousity factor.
Corn gelato sounds yuck to me. You people probably like halo halo and other corn-oriented desserts, huh?
