I think the universe is punishing me for deciding to skip the gym because I didn't feel good and I'd had A Day. The stank on the red line was so bad that I now have a migraine. To boot, or not to boot: that is the question.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Dana, I'm just sensitive b/c I was dating a female soldier around that time and heard a lot of horror stories about people lurking in gay bars and such to find out homosexuals. I personally feel like people are not being patient enough with Obama, given that it's only been a year. I understand that for gays in the military it feels very urgent.
My understanding is that expulsions have actually risen under DADT though. If it's a less toxic environment that's something. But not enough. (I'll have to see if I can dig up where I've seen that though.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's the impression I have gotten as well. It didn't work.

I just got to touch a plane engine (Cessna 150 series). I feel like squeeing like a 14 year old meeting musicians from a local band. It's so nifty! And I got to touch it! I'd say I'll never wash that hand again, but there was a gasket leak, so nsm. I'm not sure the simile tracks that far.
The engine reminds me of the engine in my first car--a 1976 VW Dasher.

Excellent, Calli!
Sometimes I can't tell if it is Loki bolting bunny-style up and down my stairs or the little girl next door running up and down hers in hard shoes. I think that says something about how noisy he is. (I really can't hear much from next door, usually. )

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Lycoming or Continental?
Either way, air-cooled, flat four -- not much different than what was in the original VW Bug.
Now I'm reminded of Bill Cosby's routine about Fat Albert's car, with the "Cessna airplane engine."
eta: Wikipedia tells me that the 150s have Continentals, it's the 152s that have Lycomings.

Oh, good. 'Cause I had no idea. Now we're learning about fuel. (Carolina Blue ftw!)
Oops. They are 152s so I guess they are Lycomings. I'll have to look those up when I'm home.

OMG, y'all! I just looked at the foot of the futon, and Loki and Devi are curled up next to each other! I don't think Devi knows (she was there first) but it proves my theory that him being such an asshole to her is him wanting to play and being a kitten, not actually trying to piss her off. [link] He slid into touching her just now.
