Gas explosions in Dallas on the news. With NYC, SF and now this I worry.
Eep. Hadn't made that connection, but now? APOCALYPSE!
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Guess they don't count high probability of getting mugged or knifed while you walk against the score, either.
We got a 38, probably because they also don't consider the ease (or not) of crossing streets.

94 in my current place - probably would be higher because they have the park showing way farther away than it is.
83 for the new one, which is kind of higher than I expected.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
What is it with Texas and stuff blowing up, though? I swear, every time I turn on the Discovery Channel, it's about (a) Tenerife air disaster or (b) that shmuck in California who thought it would be clever to build a gas main right below a 15d grade or (c) massive explosions in Texas.
And, like, the first two, at least they only happened once each, right? (The second one sort of happened in stages, where, if you didn't get your house demolished by a crashing train, you got to see it blow up two weeks later.) But Texas seems to have massive explosions all the time.

Heh. Our place gets a 72, but most of the places they list are really not the businesses I would prefer to use. Our neighborhood itself is great, but we're right near a busy main street with kind of skanky and/or religious stores on it. The program assumes I'd love to use the Theosophical Library Center as my local bookstore, Food 4 Less as my local grocery store, and the Right to Life League as my local library (there's a Planned Parenthood a block from here and a huge ethnic population that skews Christian; hence the emphasis on religion).
We do have good walkable coffee, a great neighborhood park, a couple of good restaurants (who else has a vegan drive-through, fast food restaurant in walking distance, after all?), and access to the subway Gold line, however. Love my neighborhood. I do wish we were a tiny bit closer to all the good stores and such on Colorado, but I am really not complaining.
Congrats on the upcoming review, pd!
Happy Birthday, vw!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My corset is too big (no gap when laced) now that I've lost weight. That's really not a reason to buy a second one, is it?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think they've been showing that Texas City explosion one a lot, right? Seconds from Disaster? Maybe only on Discovery Times.

Oh wow, that's scary. I don't like it when things blow up.
(Unless I'm blowing them up or watching Jilli or Cass blowing them up. Otherwise, no good.)

Lots and lots of oil and gas & attendent infrastructure. That stuff kinda wants to burn.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, there's the one that happened in the 40s, where all the footage is B&W. And there's the one that they have color footage of from so far away that the gigantic iron drums look like soda cans flying into the air (as the shockwave rolls across the plain). And there are at least two more, than I can't remember exactly the details of.
Seriously, Texas? Maybe the oil business is not the business for you. Klutzy people don't own china shops, you know?
