That book sounds like something I need.
Also delivering medicine in flooded Rockinham, VT. . . the old fashioned way.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

I have been going to a Bikram studio regularly for the past month or so, which I generally love because it is filled with people of all shapes, sizes, and colors and very supportive. On the other hand, I do appreciate it when people don't move to get water in the middle of a pose but wait until we're done.

I still have no power (I am at work.) I brought all my needing-charge stuff in to charge it. Will be buying ice unless Sandra calls to let me know we have power.
I was very nice to the customer service lady for BGE that I talked to last night, but let her know that the poor communication from BGE was making things worse, not better, and the lack of visible workers, or ones who just drove through the hood and didn't know we had no power, well, that made us mad. Yes, I've been trolling for linemen. I see a truck, I WILL go interrogate them. My neighbors find this amusing.
Spent a couple hours at B&N, came home. A was home, we had cocktails on the deck. S came over to use my shower (she has a tankless water heater so no hot water) and then the mechanic called to tell me my car was ready. The original rotor finally crapped out. So $90 in parts cost a whole bunch more in labor. Picked up the car, went to half price margarita night.
Met a bunch of neighbors who I only knew by sight last night on McKewin. They know each other because they have dogs. So that was nice.

Well, damn. The husband of a family we knew from the park in Durham died the other week, of melanoma. Three little kids, ages 8, 6, and 3. He had a spot removed in 2000, and the risk of a recurrence after 5 years was 1%. It came back in 2006, and went to stage IV in 2008, and he managed to hang on for 3 more years, which is really incredible. The family was not really "my people" - WAY extroverted - but really good people. A nice writeup: [link]

My car is having close to $1000 worth of work done right now. Yay. Still, way less than a new car and I have power at home so I can't complain!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
This is a pretty stunning photo essay about childrens' bedrooms around the world:
Wow. That is amazing. Parents, keep a copy of this link to show your kids when they complain about how hard their life is.

Because books.

The juxtaposition of the first two photos alone is worth the look.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Both the first two photos were heartbreaking, in entirely different ways.
