OK, so remember how I had the freaky garage experience and emailed security? Email got forwarded to someone whose only identifier as to position is "Major" but no other title, with phone #s, asking me to call. Now, It's a campus address, so probably just a security manager or something just firing off a response, BUT EXTRA FREAKY. I am so not calling from home, only work, where I know my security people and am behind 2 passcard doors. These folks are failing on so many levels, it boggles.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Kid was maybe 5 years old, in a jammed store, and she sends him on his own?
Oh my god. I can't imagine being either that focused or ignorant of the environment. Maybe I project too much into the future, but having to rationalize what I was doing vs. having lost my child would be impossible. I can't even let my dog out of my sight!

OK, digging into the campus security site , it's indeed from the OPs director. At least identify yourself as such. Jaysus.

I just had a slice of Belgian country bread slathered with asiago cheese dip and sprinkled with crumbled bacon. Still hungry. Possibly I should eat a vegetable.

Spinach! Cauliflower roasted with garlic! Baby carrots and horseradish hummus!

Wait. Bacon is not a vegetable?
You know what I really want? Pub cheese. But the last time we bought it I inhaled it. So perhaps it is best that there is none in the house.

I have pub cheese, with horseradish. Mwahahaha! But I have no conveyance device, so I can ignore it.
Was the inhaling at TG? Cause we seriously burned through it, and there was a little bit of competition for it. Just a bit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I can't buy that stuff unless it's going to be dinner. Which isn't a great idea, but better that than a snack!

I need to buy more hummus. Thanks for the reminder!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm having bacon-wrapped scallops. They're ok - I messed up cooking them, but they're still okay, so they're probably pretty good if they're prepared correctly.
