re: changing prices of produce--I wonder how much of that is tied to people plowing under fields and orchards to put up crappy subdivisions? There are a depressing number of McMansion settlements around here with the unironic name of Orchard Acres or Applewood Estates or such to memorialize what the land used to be used for.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If it helps, I am drinking a beer and, well, reading buffistas on my current conference call.
HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HELP?
If I were nicer, perhaps. But I'm evidently still the bully today, judging by my behaviour in my last meeting.
Well, I'll be on Team WFH tomorrow morning, because of doctor's appointment. That's something.

Both my public radio stations are in pledge week. Ahrg.
I'm avoiding this by listening to a backlog of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! podcasts.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This amateur video take on Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" filled me with all kinds of happy.
This is adorable! It is at my workplace, too!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anybody else like cyriak's animation? Here's a new one: Cycles
"Bizarre" seems to be the most common adjective used to describe his animations.

Remember how when we were watching Angel, the whole "handsome man, saved me from the monsters" got old after watching the previouslies and it was there week after week.
Life UneXpected has had the same damned previously "You and someone had a kid. You gave up that kid. I am that kid." in the previouslies since it started. It is the premise of the show. I watch the show. I know already!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Subsidies go almost entirely to meat and dairy, some to grains, and almost nothing to fruits and vegetables.
And I wonder how much the percentage of grain subsidies would go down if you took out corn.

There was one on the market when I was looking for my house. It was really cute, but they were asking $20K more for it than my 2 bedroom house.

Not on a conference call, but reading Buffistas and drinking beer. Trader Joe's house Vienna Lager. It's not bad.
