Oooh, vibes, bonny -- hope you grabbed the valuables and the beagle both, and are safe.
(Which reminds me that I'm supposed to put the removable backup drive out in the car trunk.)

That being said, I have a 22 year old who is trying to tell me that our age gap shouldn't be a reason not to get together. Ummm....I have a daughter almost his age. And he fails the "half my age plus 5" cougar test. (Isn't that the calc?) Shoot, he is barely over the "half my age" part.
I do not even understand the issue here. You should hook up for the story if nothing else. And my rule is half plus seven. Unless he's hot. Or it's after 2AM.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Eep, bonny. Tons of ~ma to you and B-boy and the other residents.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
"the Parks Department warned humans that the green space was "open for wolves only," at which point a giant furry ran out and started doing yoga." I really wish I had seen that.
The pictures of the wolf made me laugh and laugh.

I was going to say something about while it's great the authorities caught the would-be NYC bomber so quickly, how did he managed to board a plane while on the no-fly list. However, CNN answered my questions. Good job, CNN.
I was in the grocery store last night and the family in front of me did a two part purchase, WIC and cash. Then in the parking lot they get into a newish Volvo. Even for a far lefty like me, that looks bad. Now it could have been a single mother and boyfriend, or maybe a family that fell on hard times post new Volvo. There are some perfectly reasonable scenarios, but it still looks bad.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Or maybe they'd borrowed the car from a friend to go grocery shopping.

Another perfectly reasonable scenario.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And IIRC, there's a much higher income threshold on WIC requirements because it stops when the youngest child turns 5 and only covers certain food items.
That being said, it sometimes pings me, too Gud.

Gudanov -- or a borrowed Volvo, given how hard it is to make a large grocery run if you don't have your own car. But still, it's not what you expect to see.
(Which reminds me of the time I asked the driver of an airport stretch limo to stop at an all-night Target on the way to the Breakers hotel in Palm Beach. The airline had misplaced my luggage, so I bought pajamas & et cetera. Since it was all on the company's dime, he didn't mind.)
