OMG it is so effing hot in my office I can barely breathe. And my room doesn't have a window and we don't have control of the thermostat. I'm going to die, and possibly cry on my patients. And I have a really creepy dude coming in at 2 and there won't be anyone here but me.
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Well, I'm glad Hec and Emmett are not in grave danger. Hopefully the tow will be there soon.
d, safety and sanity~ma to you.

d, I just thought of something - can you close off the vents to your office? Or get hold of building maintenance and have them do it?

There's also bacon flavored vodka. Madness.
If you want bacon you should just eat bacon.
That was an unpleasant morning, but handled about as well as can be handled.
Car overheated and died right in front of Emmett's old elementary school in the East Bay -- in the middle lane of three. Heavy traffic, but not too fast, and I could raise the hood and wave people around me.
Called 911 and got a cop over pretty quick. The car cooled down and I was able to get it off to the side of the road.
Called my Geico roadside service, and got an operator who was professional, competent and solicitous (and had a nice, honeyed, Southern accent).
Called Emmett's Mom (only five minutes away) and she came to collect him and get him to school.
Geico called the tow truck company, but they also gave me the phone number as a backup. So I did a follow up call to the tow truck to give them a more detailed location and the best way to approach the car to load it.
Tow truck driver was there in half an hour. He was quick and competent, obviously knew his job.
Took me to a service station near BART where I'd had a flat fixed before. Unloaded, handed over the keys, filled out a quick form and I was on BART by 9am after a 8am breakdown.
And (I hope) it's all fixed (affordably) by the time I get back to the East Bay this evening. We'll see.

David, glad you got off the roadway fairly quickly.
Is there a bacon equivalent for "eat a muffin, whitey"?

Former McCain Advisor says Campaign is 'Smoking Crack'
During an interview on MSNBC this morning, GOP strategist Mike Murphy — who helmed Sen. John McCain’s 2000 primary bid — said the McCain campaign was “smoking crack” if it is still clinging to hopes of winning Iowa, according to The Page. Murphy also referred to Virginia as “the hole in the boat” for the McCain camp.
