And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Has Jilli seen these?

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Gas here is just hitting $2.67 and that's at the new station that's trying to woo us away from the competition. It's still $3.49 down on the reservation, twenty minutes away, which is what I mean when I talk about institutional racism.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Note to event hosts: when someone asks what they can bring, saying "anything" isn't that helpful to either of us! Especially when we don't know each other. If I show up with a bag of Doritos, will that be tacky next to your hors d'oeuvres? Etc.

Ann, that's a ferret.

In real life, when people start spouting the crazy most other people back away and they end up ranting to themselves. But with the layers of distance provided by letters to the editor or the internet, they can be heard and even have people attempt to engage them in conversation.

And on the Internet, you can't see the people backing away.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

A couple of days ago the prices were back to higher in the city ($3.15 & up) and lower in the suburbs ($3.03 & up).

I'm looking over my sample ballot so I can do the early voting thing. There are 80+ judges! Yikes. And didn't we do Water Reclamation Commissioners during the primary election?

Here are some great photos from Obama's stop in Chester, PA, in the rain yesterday.

Who doesn't?

I cannot believe I haven't posted this before! Taken in July, by my office, which is in a really snooty part of town (aka, a part of town where I would have bet good money they had never even heard of MC Hammer): [link]
