"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Onerous task is onerous! I found the insurance cards no problem. I found the old registration renewal notice, so I have all the relevant numbers. But trying to do it online, they don't recognize my registration. It's probably actually my drivers license they don't recognize, but whatevs, they don't recognize my company EIN either. So I called them, and you know how I feel about calling people. Many times because "circuits were busy" and finally got through to someone, who transferred me to someone, who rolled to voicemail. Fail. I'm trying again now, but the onerouser this gets, the crankier I am at the intern. His legacy just will not quit. We gave him the form, told him to sticker the van and put the registration in the glovebox. He stickered the van, so as not to get pulled over himself, but the registration is nowhere to be found.

not your mom's socks.

Cashmere - OMGWTFAsshat. Is there a jumpstarter or crowdsource charity for need-to-replace-stolen-boyscout-funds?

Lisah, have you heard anything about the Fells Pt. effort to connect with Ireland on the war of 1812 POWs? There's a whole movement afoot, memorial planned, stuff. I forget what city - I'd say Kinsale, but that's what I thought it would have been and it wasn't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, Cashmere, that's so bad! WTF is wrong with people.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

WTF is wrong with people.

He obviously needed the money for H&B.

Art Crawl!!!

I just got a cold call from an event planner named "Vlad". He didn't sound like a Vlad. In fact, I thought he said "Brad" at first and seriously, he sounded much more like a Brad.

Always Anti-fascist!

Scola, that reminds me of what it would look like if there was a story about Jeeves and Wooster copping(A thought that could only come from this brain, I think) Today sucked. Possibly getting through it is today's Task.

I thought Vlad in Camp looked much more like a Brad. Odd.
