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!

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."

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

And opposed to more casual leg wear like jeans/chinos/khakis/cargo pants

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.-

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

strained yogurt. If you put yogurt over a cheesecloth overnight, you strain out the liquid (whey) and get "greek" yogurt.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I say everyone should come to work Friday dressed up in early 19th century Bourbon Restoration finery just to make sure they're not too casual!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The ads tell me that Canada Dry is made with real ginger...

How does that work out financially, I wonder? I mean, Greek yogurt is more expensive, but you get more yogurt/less whey, and you don't have to buy cheesecloth.

I think people should take their wardrobe cues from the ST:TOS episode "Mirror Mirror."
