On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

Like, not plain cotton or khaki?

Definitely not khaki--those are called out. In my head, dress slacks are lined, but this is southern California, and they can't possibly want women who are not me to only wear lined pants all year long.

I've never thought about it too closely, but I would think that dress slacks/slacks for women/trousers all would be roughly synonymous. And opposed to more casual leg wear like jeans/chinos/khakis/cargo pants.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think Gripe Water has fennel in it which is supposed to be good for nausea.

That meeting I had with the Director of our United Way last Friday must have went well. When I took the kids to the bakery for donuts and coffee today, I ran into her and she complimented me on my report. That felt really good. I hadn't done that much in-depth research in nearly 20 years so the feedback was most welcome.

At 4 p.m., the NWS reported a high of 105 degrees at BWI-Marshall, making this the hottest day here in 27 years. It is the second-highest July temperature ever recorded for Baltimore, after a 107-degree high on July 10, 1936. It matches highs reached only three other times, on Aug. 6 and 7, 1918, and Aug. 20, 1983.

Uhg.

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

For ginger ale, the fancy gourmet brands are better - most of the commercial stuff has no actual ginger. (Boylan's or GuS are both good if you can find them.)

Oops - had already gone to store....

Ended up getting Schweppes. Is ginger included in the "natural ingredients"?

Also, what is Greek yogurt? I had to buy some yogurt with active cultures for my kitty, so I ended up getting "plain Greek strained yogurt."

And now that you mention it, it now appears that cargo pants are *not* allowed on Fridays. Good thing I didn't go out and buy a pair, because they would have mostly been for that.

Now I'm staring at everyone and checking them off against the rules. I wonder how many of them actually know we have a dress code now.

I have discovered that in addition to coffee and tea, Cymbalta now makes me nauseous. Need to talk to Dr., I guess....

No, try looking for Schweppervescence.-
