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.

I expect them to announce they will remove lavatories next.

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.

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.

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

It's Friday.

I have Monday level gronk.

Does that seem right to you?

I agree with Lisah and Jesse on the seats.

What are people doing this weekend?

I don't think I would like to recline, either. I hate it when people recline the bus seats on the city bus, too. And sometimes they get stuck that way, and it is the only sit, and there I am, laying down on the city bus! I feel like an idiot!

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

Let's also remember what Iranian clerics consider "inappropriate." Including just about every Western fashion trend of the last couple of millenia.
