I heard that a passenger reported that, given that they ended up in the water, the landing was remarkably soft.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

I didn't like the way the anchor on the Boston Channel I was watching kept emphasizing the Canada in Canada Geese. Dude, if we are going to start taking down Americans, it won't be with geese. They're totally rogue and can't be trusted.

A (Canadian) friend of mine had an old beater of a car in high school, a chevy nova, I think. It was held together by her father's engineering prayers. Anyway, she used to say that hitting one Canada goose would be all it took to total it & kill her. But she figured the goose would survive.

Compassionately intolerant
I had a weirdly anthropomorphic response when looking at the NY photos. "Aw. The plane looks so sad stuck there in the water. It must be embarrassed."
I swear to you, I have not been drinking.
Although, now that I mention it. I might make some cocoa with Kaluha.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There was an article I read in the paper today, and there are 13 seats left on the Barbers and Hairdressers of Rochester bus going to Washington for the inauguration, and I so wanted to go. It is sponsored by a 1/2 african-amerian/1/2 Indian (Native American) activist City councilman who was once a barber. And went to high school with my mom.

If I had a bus, I'd go! (The logistics of transport are making me dubious. I want to, though! If only my cat didn't need meds, I'd sneak down the night before.)
Speaking of groups making the trek, I want to share this story : [link]

Loki and Devi are sleeping on the futon again. Not touching this time, but Dev knew he was there. Oh lord, she's washing her butt and he just reached out a paw and dragged it down her back, on purpose! And she ignored it totally and is dozing off again. He'd so be her best buddy if she weren't so mean. Story of her life. MK was the same with her.
The stalkery attacks have changed flavor a bit. Less actual contact. I do wonder if Loki's increased size is a factor. I can't just pick him up easily with one hand; he's too heavy and long for it to be managable.
