Wow.
You know, Kang wasn't born in the US either....
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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

Don't blame me; I voted for Kodos.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Didn't they do a West Wing episode where Donna lost her security clearance because her hometown got rezoned or resurveyed and ended up in Canada?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG! I just ran into this new barbecue truck outside my office: [link] They weren't quite open yet, and I was hungry, but I'm totally going there tomorrow.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

At Abby's birthday party. Abby had them play "O Canada" for Donna.

Speaking of cars, I'm now driving a Chevy Citation instead of a Ford Taurus. The Taurus is having Monday off and driving Hubby around today. A friend of ours bought a minivan to hold his growing children and found himself with more cars than allowable parking spaces, so he said, "I owe you some money, don't I? Would you like a car?"
He's the guy we got the Taurus from. He runs cars hard, but he'll do big repairs like axles etc. The Citation sucks power steering fluid like an alcoholic, but that's a matter of replacing some hoses. Friend didn't want to bother, but Hubby says, "That's two hours work, sure, we could use a second car."
It feels overly-decadent to have two (18-year-old) cars, and I keep thinking the universe is going to smack me for it. But then I think of the usefulness of having a backup, plus Hubby has something he can get to the doctor in so he doesn't have to schlep our lousy bus system. What I want for Christmas is a decent sense of self-worth.

The coolest thing about the Chevy Citation? The radio is vertical!
Far out, man....

I don't itemize; any "tax deduction" will be wasted on me.
The bluebook value of the car will be eaten by all the repairs that have to be done (e.g. the a/c system doesn't work, at all - the last quote I had for it was $2400 And that's just one of the things wrong that I've learned to endure).
I just got the estimate - $975. I told them no, just replace the battery so I can start the car and drive it a couple blocks.
I'll have it towed somewhere I can mothball it until I figure out something to do with it.
I'll miss EEEgor. He drove me to SF and back...very, very fast.

I am drinking a cafe fauxcha in an actual coffee mug! A Dunder Mifflin coffee mug, at that. I feel so corporate.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Health-ma to your brother, Kathy. I hope he is okay.
