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

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I have a variable work schedule. The early day is 9am the late day is noon.
In general -- DH has the alarm set for 6:30 -- on my early day I get up by 7am But most mornings I get up at 730 as DH is leaving the house. I get dressed and head to the coffee shop usually there by 8. Today I got up in time to catch a ride with DH so I walked home. in theory, Today and Thursday I leave 5 minutes before I have to work. Wed and Fri (doing an extra day for a while) 15 min before I have to be there. Reality -- Tuesdays 5- 10 min late wed 15 min late Thursday 30 min early Fri on time.
Even where there is no alarm I am awake by 730 -- if not out of bed. It works best for me if I can be consistent. I think it keeps the insomnia beast under control.

Heh. These days, working from home, I ....get up at 9, and start doing stuff.
Though there are other days I'm up at 5AM and leaving the house at 5:30 to head for the airport.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Glam, where are you sitting? I think we're in the cheap seats.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
after the government collapsed back in 1991, ships from other countries, specifically western Europe, have been not only poaching the fishing in their territorial waters, but even worse, they've been dumping barrels of nuclear waste.
I'm glad this stuff is coming out, coupled with the fact that the pirates have actually never killed any of their hostages. My heart breaks for the Somalis.
Those pirates were dumb as hell though, to take on an American ship and crew. As they now know, we will kill ya dead as soon as look at you! And since our policy is not to pay ransom, then there are very few ways for this to come out well...
Honestly, I don't think the Somali pirates are bad men. I think they are men driven to do some very sketchy things, but I cannot and will not pass judgment on them. There, I said it!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Today I have found the missing cable junction box in our house and gotten the non-bootable computer booting. It's still not totally functional, but I'm feeling pretty swanky right now.
Now I will clean the bathroom in preparation for the cable guys arriving tomorrow.

Oh, I suspect you've got some bad apples in with the bunch. You do anywhere.

Was it determined that the French hostage who died in the rescue last week was killed by friendly fire?
