There is no ticketing here for unshoveled walks (I'm pretty sure) but you will incur the wrath of your neighbors if you are able bodied and don't shovel your walk as soon as possible. Which means I have to get up early tomorrow to get it done. And I've gotten VERY spoiled because snow shoveling has been one of Bob's household tasks and he's in Chicago this week. I mean, I helped during the snowpocalypse but he is our primary shoveler.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
NPR itself on Giffords' "death": [link] - they had 2 sources, 1 in the Sheriff's office.
Thanks. I wish the article had gone into more detail about these two sources.
So, if NPR had erred, what should they have done? Got more sources? Waited for a report from the doctor or hospital?

A floor lamp in the garage is really not what I need, no reading nook there.
Tom, nope, not even the top right pile o'stuff. Other places they are not: anywhere on my desk or table beside desk, the stationary drawer, or my purse.

So, if NPR had erred, what should they have done?
Pretty much what they did, IMO - reported what they had heard (given it was coming two plausible sources) with a ton of caveats around the general reliability of information in the midst of turmoil.

In the last 30 minutes I went from feeling fine to feeling like I'm coming down with a cold. Throat and nose are not happy.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
waiting for a medical professional to declare death is usually a good way to avoid liability.

Just got my PBS email and realized Downton Abbey is written by the guy who wrote Gosford Park. More reasons to watch.

I am actually shocked that TX only has one.
There were 2 attempts on Ford?
