this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was in the path of a runaway bulldozer/front loader. Very odd watching it roll down an alley in North Beach, curve onto Broadway and then roll towards me. But it kept hooking so I didn't have to dodge it or anything, and the blade rammed into a brick wall taking out a chunk. But I was a good 20 feet away.

Yesterday at Trader Joe's, as I was looking for a parking spot, a woman was leaning into the backseat of her SUV (I assuming getting a kid settled in), and her (very full) cart rolled away from the car, RIGHT TOWARDS ME.

My life didn't flash before my eyes.

Okay, I guess that wasn't near-death as much as near-ding.

ION, I just got my lipid test results back, and everything that should go down (total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides) has gone down and is well within normal range, and everything that should go up (HDL) has gone up and is normal.

My total cholesterol is under 200 for the first time in probably 5 years. And I swear I haven't done anything other than eat oatmeal 5 mornings a week. I'm not -- AT ALL -- strict about what I eat, otherwise, so I can't attribute it to general diet. And while I go to the gym, it's only 3-4 times a week, and I'm certainly no powerhouse.

So, oatmeal. Eat it, y'all.

Aw man, Stars on Ice isn't having Johnny Weir on their tour because he's not "family friendly." [link]

But there was a brief moment when it was rolling down hill and I didn't know which way it would go where I was mentally preparing myself for Dodge the Bulldozer.

What you weren't going to run for blocks in front of it with viable escape routes going past to either side?

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

Weird. He appeared as a contestant on The Dating Game while he was doing his serial killing.

Trust my rage

Just wanted to share that my cooking for the month plan is in progress. This morning I planned my meals and I just got back from grocery shopping - $250 isn't bad, although I'm sure we will do more shopping over the month.

Now, I'm taking my laptop into the kitchen and I'm going to watch some White Collar while I cook stuff.

Didn't a Buffista run themselves over somehow?

There already was a Law & Order: CI that had that plot. Roy Scheider was a serial killer from the 60s and 70s who liked to take pictures.
