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

Cool photo from last night's storm: [link]

A rare shot of lightning bolts simultaneously striking the Trump Tower and the Willis Tower (above).

The Associated Press has transmitted the shot worldwide and the Daily Mail of London has already picked it up. "Stunning images," says the Mail.

The Willis Tower is the former Sears Tower.

Was anyone watching the Slovakia-Italy match? I left the house with about 15 minutes left and the score 2-0.

Good or evil? I think I want to try it.

I bet it would be good in a Bloody Mary type drink.

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

I bet it would be good in a Bloody Mary type drink.

In theory, but I don't like those.

I'd shoot it. Or try the Bakon Chocolate Martini on their recipe page.

I've had a bloody with smoked vodka and a stick of crispy bacon along with the usual accoutrements. The bacon was good but the smokiness of the vodka was more distracting than anything.

Italy scored twice and Slovakia scored 1 to make it 3-2. A lot happened right at the end.
