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

I don't have my rational pants on today.

What pants are you wearing? Pi pants? Square root of 2?

Suzi, what CSA did you go with?

Stephanie - Grant Farms. They do seem a bit more expensive than some of the others I found, but it is 26 weeks and after hearing the talk at lunch, I'm happy to support them. They have worked hard to not just promote organic farming, but helping smaller farms stay open by working with them, providing organic grain to a bakery who provides bread shares, working with local farms to raise pasture raised chickens, turkeys, ducks and so on.

On the topic of raising chickens instead of a chicken coop that has limited access to the outdoors, they are converting old school buses by removing the seats and putting in laying beds (or whatever it is chickens like). They move the buses from pasture to pasture, letting the chickens roam around before ushering them back on the bus.

They are having an Open Farm on June 12th.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Divide by zero pants.

And tourists? STAND RIGHT, WALK LEFT!

YES!! Sigh.

Unfortunately, such a project would have to stand in line behind an inter-county connector, the Purple Line, and fixing the potholes we have every 10 feet on every road around here. Car-eating potholes. With bad breath.

Yeah--a Maglev would be cool, but Amtrak isn't all that bad between B'more and DC if you're not commuting (as a daily thing, being faster would be awesome, I'm sure). I think most people would prioritize purple line or fantasy silver line or whatever (once upon a time I saw a fantasy metro map that looked awesome...) and the Dulles connector, etc etc...

Amusingly, I have a friend here in Seattle that got the city to pay for her new tire (or getting it fixed, or somesuch) because the pothole gave her a flat tire. I was like "...seriously? In DC I don't think it would even occur to anyone to ask, the roads are so bad". Though my old roommate had the "Fix this pothole" number on speed dial at one point, because she was trying to be all getting-stuff-done, and see if it worked.

Maybe if I yell at two people for standing on the left, they'll yell at two people, and they'll yell at two people, and so on and so on....

Turn two and the rest are food?

Only in AZ (where they require you to show your work).

I'm pretty sure the CTA does not allow vampires on trains. They got tired of cleaning up all the dust when underground trains come up above ground during daylight.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

This explains the extra boy attention.
