Awwww, brenda beat me to the Bluesmobile quote!
The dad of one of my college roommates was a Mt. Prospect cop, and one of his old cop cars was one of the Bluesmobiles in the movie.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Echoing this:
Much ~ma for those of you facing cancer, flood, fire, sick twins, hurt toes, bad shoulders and whatever else is besetting beloved Buffistae.
Today Facebook has had a little of everything... a birth, a death and a wedding. All involving my summer colleagues.

Here, have a distraction: 1992 or 1993. My hair was enormous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
1992 or 1993. My hair was enormous.
Um... wow!

And for extra dork points: that was taken after the evening's live-action vampire role-playing game.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Paul wants to look at Outbacks. Man, that's a pricy car.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't know how much cheaper the Foresters are, Plei, but I am among several happy Forester owners on the board.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Wow, lookit that hair, Jilli!
I love my Outback Sport, but it doesn't get great mileage.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Magnificent, Jilli.
Maria, I'd like to echo what Erin (I think it was Erin) said about PPE when doing flood cleanup. Make sure you wear a mask that can handle mold.
That's all I got. ~ma to them as needs it, how they needs it. Office is a ghost town and I'm barely awake.

To be fair, at Brown's Ferry they were checking for air leaks using smoke from a candle, which was an accepted technique. They screwed up badly, but the candle was only part of the problem.
The 2003 blackout, which affected some 50 million people, was the result of one failed transmission line and both human and computer error in monitoring the grid in FirstEnergy's control room.
The electricity grid is a patchwork of lines built by hundreds of companies over a century, carrying more power longer distances than it was ever intended to. There's a lot of work being done on a smart grid, but to be really effective, the whole damn country needs rewired.
