It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Totally agree that the term "bright" for atheists is twitch inducing.

It seems like if you wanted to create a term for atheists that was not based on the absence of god but the presence of nature you might not want to imply the god believing folks are dim.

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

"Bright" brings to me a series of annoying connotations. Mainly, it sounds like some "next level of human evolution" thing from some SciFi story....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, Bright has a real PR feel to me which rubs me the wrong way.

If Teppy got paid for her Titans knowledge, she's be driving a pretty cool rocket car....

Funny, because Indigo Children came to my mind.

Heh. After I made that post, Indigo Children came to my mind too - except I couldn't remember the term....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Indigo children like Jenny McCarthy's kid?

I saw a couple of Amazon River cruises this morning, and they looked pretty damned cool.

The "Indigo Children" make me roll my eyes forever.

Cass, we ate at "Heathmans"? It's a restaurant in a hotel of the same name? The food was good, the drinks were awesome.

Tonight we plan to roam the Pearl District, and/or 23rd street. Not sure. There will also be watching of "So You Think You Can Dance"

One of these [link] sounds way cool, cruises on working freighters. You go to exotic ports and get to watch stuff actually happen. Some of the Middle Eastern ports you're not allowed to get off in, but I think it would be so, so cool to just sit and watch the ocean, then watch the port traffic.
