Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

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

Monstrous Aviation: World's Biggest Airplanes, Part 3

But the plans for the tentatively-named "The Saro Queen" were simply out of this world. This flying monster boat (slated for the London-Sydney run) was to have FIVE decks, enough to carry a thousand passengers in comfort, plus include bars, dining rooms and elite lounges! The mammoth aircraft was to be powered by twenty-four engines (mounted within wings). "The wings were deep enough for the engineers to be able to carry out maintenance standing up while the aircraft was in flight."

flea, do you want to do the San Jose thing? Because I've been meaning to visit Santa Cruz since I moved here (see also: Napa and Berkeley) and I would just as well rent a car and go that weekend, drop you off wherever and pick you up on Sunday when I head back to SF.

That could work, megan. The San Jose thing was just a practical thing - my friends are flying into San Jose and renting a car. (I'm a non-driver.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

long hot shower = awesome.

The movers were here an hour earlier than I expected them today so I did not get a shower this morning. After a day of travel and then a morning of moving boxes, I needed that.

Pharmaceutical people: Is there a database or other source that will tell you how many/much of a particular drug is sold outside the US?

Huh. You know, I have no idea.

Ahem. I was also married before 25.

I was as well. It will be 13 years next month.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yay, Spring!
