Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The parts of the world I feel connected with need to start settling down. Can the next inevitable disaster be in a non-populated area, please, Universe? Just for a lark?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus, ita, what's going on? Edit: Or I could, you know, look at a newspaper or something.

Oh my goodness.

Jamaican authorities declared a state of emergency in Kingston after gang members supportive of an alleged drug lord wanted by the United States attacked police stations and blockaded a large swath of the city.

Stay safe, family of ita!

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

Jesus, ita, what's going on?

Short version: US called for an extradition on the basis of drugs and guns charges, our PM said no you obtained your info illegally, then PM said yes, and some of the public went wild. Irrationally, violently, wild.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The US is trying to extradite a drug lord and his followers are trying to prevent it.

ita, I hope your family is safe and the violence clears up quickly.

What is it with armed insurrections happening near our Buffistas and families?!?

And IcompletelylessworrisomeN, for Chicagoistas, the first family will be in town this weekend, so be prepared for major gridlock. He's heading out to Elwood on Memorial Day to visit the national cemetary out there, so steer clear of driving on I-55 south of the city.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Flight now delayed until 8:30.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Aww, frak, Dana. Will the airline at least put you up if the delay costs you your connecting flight?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ugh Dana. Any chance they are going to put you up if you are stuck?

We are having blue waffles for dinner - bisquick, oil, and syrup all a wee bit closer to finished.

Do they operate that way? I mean, I think they should, but I'm still surprised my sister got put up. Turns out, though, that the crew didn't want to fly in at night, so it was totally an airline decision.

Man, I just got chastised for calling a woman on another board dude. Honestly? I count "Dude, t point made here " as a gender-free statement.
