Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
New map of San Francisco's sub-neighborhoods. I'd object to our placement in the tiny sliver designated as UCSF Medical, but that's exactly where JZ works.

I lived on Bush Steet in what we then referred to as the "Nobloin" area.
Could the atmosphere be really humid meaning that less liquid was needed? Can he add flour to make it thicker?
