Yeah, I've been thinking that for years, so I've gotten used to the world tremble. At least he was sane....

I didn't agree with his economic plan (nor did his pre-Reagan former self, since he's the one who christened it Voodoo Economics), but Bush Sr. performed ably in crafting foreign policy.

I don't think Buffy ever did this: Woman Uses Wedgie To Capture Thief

SALT LAKE CITY — It took a wedgie and a headlock to pin down a man suspected of breaking into a car. Yvonne Morris, a technician at the Brickyard Animal Hospital, said she chased a man who broke into a co-worker's car, but he kept squirming away from her.

The third time, Morris grabbed hold of the man's boxer shorts and pulled. Salt Lake City police said she then she put a headlock on the man until help could arrive.

The man was booked into the Salt Lake County jail on suspicion of vehicle burglary, possession of stolen property and outstanding warrants.

I think Dutch was Reagan's actual nickname, no? Like, what old friends called him to his face?

Today was one of those days where I just had it with work and had to get out ASAP. So, when I got the time sensitive stuff all done and it was over four hours since I started, I went over to my boss and asked if I could take my makeup day for working the holiday yesterday as two half-days, including this afternoon. She was cool with it, so I'm already home--yay!!!

Now to do laundry and dishes...

Timelies all!

Weather's decent here, but I'm hearing talk of "wintery mix" tomorrow. When I have an eye exam involving pupil-dilating drops. Oh, goody...
