Or me.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need groceries mega badly, but I'm struck with the same sloth-bug.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I need groceries and to do laundry.
Oh well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And I have to stop by the office and do laundry myself. Oh well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have to do laundry as well.
How was the test, Scrappy?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Still on train, 2.5 hrs behind sched. In Cumberland MD. Couldn't get signal until now.

tommyrot just texted -- he's not getting a good signal so he asked me to pass on the latest: the train's 2+ hours behind schedule but at least they didn't have to shuffle people onto a bus.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Finally found mention of a recent train derailment: [link]
Looks like Hyndman PA is about 15 miles north of Cumberland MD.

I was watching BSG and missed chance to take pictures of derailed train. They managed to get one set of tracks cleared. Then we had to wait for freight train with enginet rouble stuck on the one good set of tracks.
