For some reason this is cheering me up today so I thought I'd share. [link]
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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

Oh, amyth, I'm so sorry. It's so goddamn hard even when it's the right thing to do.
I just can't believe she's not here in the apartment anymore.
Muscle memory is going to get you, hard. I didn't realize how many things had become routine in caring for Chloe until I didn't have to do them anymore.

Airlines brace for monster snow storm
With a snow storm of historic proportions expected in Chicago, Illinois, and large sections of the country's midsection, some airlines are already allowing passengers to change plans.
The storm will impact about three-quarters of the United States, from New England all the way to New Mexico, said CNN meteorologist Rob Marciano. Travelers should brace for a "three, three-and-a-half day event," he warned.
"Travel will likely be difficult to impossible in many areas," the National Weather Service said. Snowfall, primarily on Tuesday, could be over 12 inches in parts of Missouri and Illinois.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am sad about the upcoming new foot of snow. Almost worse was the offhanded mention in a news article that January was the sixth-snowiest month ever here. The fifth-snowiest was MARCH of some year I forget. We are not even close to done with winter.

Now I'm picturing various alien spaceships outfitted with snowplows and road salt dispensers.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I just told my boss that if the weather's as bad as they're predicting for Wednesday that I would not be coming in to work at all. She wasn't too thrilled, but understood. She and the rest of the team all have the option of working from home, but I don't, so I'm just going to take a PTO day.
I am going to try and go for a swim at 6:00 am tomorrow, and then work from 8-4, then getting home before it gets too bad out there. Tonight is running all the errands on the way home night, including getting my hair cut and stopping by Walgreens for supplies, including the standard milk and eggs.
