Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I wish you lived closer, Hec, because we could help backstop some of the daycare in the summer.
That'd be sooooo convenient.
Hec, I'm sorry about the issues with the car and all the resulting chaos. Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Thank you! I'll let you buy me a chicken sandwich when it's convenient.
True Fact: I was born in Bakersfield.
The thrift shopping here is kick ass.
Plus, "The Bakersfield Sound."
I wish I could help, too. The only thing I can think of is that Charlie's old Honda needs a clutch (he bought a new used car in December) and it could be more than drivable again. But I don't think he can afford to give the Honda away, and, it still needs a new clutch. So it's probably not the answer. But damn, I am sorry about the car woes.

No problem.
I was born in Riverside. Mom says it was "the weirdest place in California" at the time. Which kind of explains a lot, actually...maybe my fascination with the game is some kind of primal homecoming. When I was a baby my dad tried to stop a shoplifting tranvestite...I guess he got by with it cause nobody wanted to touch her.
Seriously, they had never heard of Rye. I offered them musical mnemonics....
Did you try the Tex Ritter song? Aaah, they probably wouldn't have recognized that, either.
eta: A prime example of country music as "the music of pain." [link]
Aaah, they probably wouldn't have recognized that, either.
Yeah, I know it's Bakersfield but the kids behind the bar wanted to listen to Fifty Cent and Eminem.
The music of their youth.
I'm sorry about the car stuff, David.
I'm watching Life on the Discovery channel. Cuttlefish fights are very confusing.
Well the Manhattans were good even without the Rye.
Of course they were!
Ugh, David, glad you found a good drink at least.
I may need one soon as I try to put my latest purchase from IKEA together.
Speaking of Faith had on two Jesuits from the Vatican Observatory. I love listening to religious people who are well-versed in science explain how they reconcile the two.
One of the speakers quoted Anne Lammott and pointed out that the opposite of faith is not doubt, it is certainty, which is a quote I love. If something is certain, faith is just not required.
