Does Spirit Airlines have some secret plan to keep people from ever flying them again? On top of the carryon fees, they're now bringing on planes with seats that don't recline.

Hey women-folk these earthquakes lately are your fault. Okay, well only if you dress inappropriately.

Promiscuous women cause earthquakes, Iran cleric says

Don't let the headline fool you, you don't have to me promiscuous yourself, only dress in a manner that promotes it.

The prayer leader, Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi, says women and girls who "don't dress appropriately" spread "promiscuity in society."

"When promiscuity spreads, earthquakes increase," he says in a video posted Monday on YouTube, apparently of him leading Friday prayers in Tehran, Iran, last week.

I expect them to announce they will remove lavatories next.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK, that was really weird. My landline phone just rang. I really never use it for anything, and most calls to it are either wrong numbers or people selling stuff. So I answered, and a woman asked, "Is this ExtremelyCommonFirstName?" I said, "I'm sorry, you have the wrong number." She said, "Well, do you know ExtremelyCommonFirstName?" I said, "I know of lot of people named ECFN, which one are you looking for?" She said, I'm looking for ECFN (stumbling really bad pronunciation of my last name.)" I said, "Well, that's my sister, but she's never lived at this number. Can I ask what this is in reference to?" She said, "This is a personal matter. Can you give me a number where I can reach her?" I said, "I'm not really comfortable giving out her number to someone I don't know who won't tell me what it's about." She said, "OK, thank you," and hung up.

Let's see, Loki smashed a mug in the sink, I woke up far too early, but did not get up (still did get to work early) and I really need to do yard work this weekend but it's supposed to rain, plus I don't know when I'll have time.

I think I am preemptively exhausted.

You mean they haven't made them "pay to play" yet?

Hil, it sounds like a debt collection agency doing a skip-trace for your sister. If you have caller ID you can probably Google the number and confirm.

We get the same kind of calls for one of Jeff's cousins, who once lived with his mother, so they look for her wherever he is living, still.

Punishingly Intricate

On top of the carryon fees, they're now bringing on planes with seats that don't recline.

Oh, I wish all airlines would do this! Well, really, I wish that there was more room between seats so that if someone in front of me reclined back they aren't impeding on my space. That is maddening.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, me too! I rarely recline, and wish the person in front of me wouldn't either.
