OK, baby safely in bed and away from keyboard.
Crap Trudy! Hopefully it will get sorted out with no pain on your end and a lot of pain on his/hers.
Cass, glad to hear Kittenish is doing better, poor thing.
And how awesome to have a good mechanic, sj
We received instructions from Washington today that we shouldn't use "little" as a modifier in reports. Instead, we should use "some." Apparently the braintrust thinks that "little" sounds "murky." Ex: "The Government of Greece plans to offer little some resistance to Turkey's inclusion in the EU."
Now, aside from that changing the whole meaning of the sentence, who has time to sit around and come up with these rules?
They actually think that "some" is less murky than "little"? ugh.
Ah, the rules of diplomacy...international incidents waiting to happen.
Some v. little resistance. Yup. Vastly different meanings.
Some is murkier. I mean, it's either some or none or total, right? At least little has none, lots, and entire to go with.
I agree.
However, my response was to globally replace "little" with "murky."
I know y'all are sick of me and baseball. But one last gasp before heading out today - Check this news clip, about a minute in you might recognize someone...

On such minor rebellions do the history of hemispheres turn.
BWAH! Suze ya looked good!
Thailand? REALLY good at raining. I mean, you know, AMAZINGLY skillfull in the making rain department. Biblical. Deluge. Wet wet wet (on an 80s musical note...).
I think Ireland could give it a run for its money.

It sounds like Thailand wins on the big rain. For nonstop wet, I gotta vote Southeast Alaska. Blergh.
I'm home. It really would help if I could learn my way around this city eventually. I really didn't know my way back from the mechanics and pretty much just drove around aimlessly until I saw I street I knew. Fun, but not very productive. The good news is the car is fixed and it came in just under the estimate!
