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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sheesh, its not even crapped out by weasels!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Huh. Don't know if this was posted here or not, but apparently, in the list of cities with the costliest commutes, Los Angeles doesn't even make the top ten. Cinci does.
Because our public transportation SUCKS.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Though, honestly, it's not like the traffic is the number one problem. It's tangiental to the main issue, which is that huge numbers of people commute from far-flung suburbs that are 20, 30, 40 miles out. I know land/housing is cheaper there, and schools are better, but you will not catch me volunteering for a 90-minute commute in each direction.

That's a lot of Dallas's problem too. It's getting worse because they're knocking down all the affordable housing in the little neighborhoods in the city to build monstrosities that go for half a mil.

I'd consider it, if it was by train, so I could read. And if the trains had internet access. And if I could sleep on the train. And if the train had a Quiet Car where there was no cellphone use, so I could sleep.
Actually, the Amtrak train from Chicago to Milwaukee has a Quiet Car....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow -- I hate everyone today. Why am I so tired? No good reason. Also, my forearms are all bruised and ow-y.
