Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Good news Hayden.

Also, since I don't think I got to say this at the time, YAY! Nilly-baby!

Thanks to all of your posts about bacon fat and bacon bourbon, I am now seriously considering sending Pete out to go get a package of bacon.

I am also craving a bacon Bloody Mary from Genie's in PDX. And while I'll BE in PDX next weekend, I promised Pete we wouldn't go there, because their food doesn't play well with his system. Dammit.

Due to the death of Nate Dogg, I have been earwormed with the 1994 hit "Regulate" all day.

It hasn't really stood up, IMO.

Also, for a while my brother's nickname was Nate Dogg (he is named Nathaniel). A man more unlike the rapper Nate Dogg you cannot imagine, especially in 1994 when my brother was 16 and about 5'2".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I work for a regulator now. I say "regulators, mount up!" A LOT.
