A friend of mine has a T-Shirt with the slogan: "See La Canth. See La Canth Run!"
I'm off to another Fun shift of training -- I may be able to run the cashiering machine thingie if they let me. Otherwise it's remembering to put the eggs on top of the bag....
Quick and painless recovery, ita.

I like this one: Coelacanth #18: Pride Coelacanth
But I'm not sure what message a Pride Coelacanth would send. Different from a message of Coelacanth Pride, methinks.
So, what do we think of the New York Times' new pricing plan? $15 a month for full access; you get 20 articles free and following links from Facebook, twitter, etc. to articles is free. How soon until there is a dedicated Facebook page with links to all articles?
I'd have signed up for $5 a month. If I lived alone I'd probably cancel cable and give them $15, but as it stands I am not sure.
I'm glad to hear you have a diagnosis ita, but I dislike the "nothing to be done about it" part. Take care of yourself.

Ginger, put on your reassuring hat and tell me how unlikely this scenario is:

More remarkably, Tepco warned on Wednesday: "The possibility of re-criticality is not zero".
This meant that in the company's view, it was possible that enough fissile uranium was present in the cooling pond in enough density to form a critical mass.
In other words, a nuclear fission chain reaction could start in a pond that lies outside parts of the building designed to contain radioactive materials.
BoingBoing folks are saying the NYT paywall can be referrer-spoofed. I'm sure that's short-lived, but wow.
I believe in paying something for good, disinterested, investigative journalism; I just think $15 is too much. I did get an email with the pricing structure and with the free 20, etc, it's not so bad.
