Cordelia ,'Lessons'
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.
In some places, you can combine dragonflies and snacks.
Darn your quick fingers and advanced time zone, Raq. I was all set for this:
But I really like dragonflies.
I also have not had a snack this morning, and I don't remember the point of skipping it.More room for dragonflies?
This is scary. A teacher is fired because she took her students on an approved field trip to an art museum, where they happened to see a nude art sculpture.

Yeah. And the parents all signed permission slips.
I just AIMfought myself. And won, so it's okay.
I think I have to nap now.
Ah yes, Frisco. And L wonders why I never visit her up there.
More on the Ike deployment:
The Eisenhower had been in port at the Naval Station Norfolk for several years for refurbishing and refueling of its nuclear reactor; it had not been scheduled to depart for a new duty station until at least a month later, and possibly not till next spring. Family members, before the orders, had moved into the area and had until then expected to be with their sailor-spouses and parents in Virginia for some time yet. First word of the early dispatch of the "Ike Strike" group to the Persian Gulf region came from several angry officers on the ships involved, who contacted antiwar critics like retired Air Force Col. Sam Gardiner and complained that they were being sent to attack Iran without any order from the Congress.
...
Of course, Gardiner agrees, recent ship movements and other signs of military preparedness could be simply a bluff designed to show toughness in the bargaining with Iran over its nuclear program. But with the Iranian coast reportedly armed to the teeth with Chinese Silkworm antiship missiles, and possibly even more sophisticated Russian antiship weapons, against which the Navy has little reliable defenses, it seems unlikely the Navy would risk high-value assets like aircraft carriers or cruisers with such a tactic. Nor has bluffing been a Bush MO to date.

At a certain point, it becomes hard to dismiss it as a mistake.
Also, Royals, not the worst team in baseball. Next year I'm hoping for less than 100 losses.
OK, I've gotten some stuff done today, and I'm not sure what to do next, so I think I'm done with working. Maybe I can do some organizing or something, but my brain is done.
