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

And I'm not a fan of SYNC. It's too complicated for a car. I had trouble figuring it out, and I'm fairly tech savvy.

Yeah. I've never had to RTFM this much before. At least the music side of it makes sense to me. Plus using voice commands is a much easier way to play stuff on my iPod (it has 9000+ songs) than using the touchscreen or using the iPod directly (which is too dangerous to do while driving).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The end of this game is bananas.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm not surprised DOT is going ape-shit over it. LaHood is really hammering at the distracted driving message, and Ford is being slightly tone-deaf in its responses to official inquiries. It's basically boiling down to: "Why are you picking on us? GM has OnStar, and you're not bothering them!" Uh, two different technologies with different purposes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Where is your port, ita?

Under the spot where the bra strap gets wide, so where it makes least contact with me.

Just got a ping from a BC contact that she has no power and wondered if I did. Is the western seaboard down?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

San Diego, LA and Orange were (are?) out in parts. And some of northern Mexico.

I am telling you people... the apocalypse is fucking nigh. I'm waiting for the plague of locusts to narrow down the exact date. 2011 can go straight to hell.

Ah, maybe she does have power and just heard about me.

Wow, that's weird. How did I see about this on b.org and not elsewhere? Yeesh.
