Reasons to love the Metro section: reports like this one about an ordinary man in the city who jumped off the platform in front of an ongoing train to rescue a guy he didn't know. Yay people!

I saw that this morning. Did you see what he actually did? He realized he couldn't drag the guy up to the platform in time so he lay on top of him and pinned him down while the train went over them. By like inches.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yikes!

Well, at least there were no bees nearby.

Hey, tommy, can I ask you a car question? You're all knowledgeable and stuff, right?

That's why I'm glad I read the link, because I would never have thought of that. Amazing.

Sure.

Pretty much. Or else I can ask my boss, who knows a ton of stuff....

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy Birthday, shrift!!

And, congrats to Kat and Lori!!! That is so exciting!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

My car has started displaying the following symptoms:

1) A high-pitched whine coming from the area of the dashboard (which is really fricking annoying)

2) Last night, while running a fairly high load on the electrical system (headlights, interior lights, heater, and tape player), I noticed the whole thing flickering. The lights would dim a little, the engine sounded like it dipped a little, and the whine lessened for a second. This happened several times.

I have a warranty on it, and I'm going to take it to the dealership. My regular mechanic says it sounds like something's going on with the alternator. That makes sense, right? Could a problem with the alternator be causing that really annoying whine? (The one coming from the car, not the one from me.)

Does the pitch of the whine vary with the engine speed?

What kind of car is it?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

It's an '02 Accord, V6. I haven't noticed the whine really varying with the engine speed, and actually, the engine doesn't even have to be on for the whine to happen. It starts as soon as I turn the key the first notch, before the engine starts.

Because books.

Happy birthday, shrift!

What great news for Kat and Lori! Congratulations on the twins! Two babies, no waiting! All kinds of feeling-good vibes for you, Kat.
