We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

If you got your pizza at Regnelli's (which I suspect you have)

Totes did! It was pretty tasty. I actually don't like most hummus. Heresy, I know.

I will say that metal/copper theft and resale is a HUGE HUGE ENORMOUS issue here

Indeed. Like, once the wiring is in, you best start sleeping in your house, or it won't be there long. Nora and I know someone whose wiring has been stolen out at least twice, if not three times.

damn smonster. Although I heard that they have ripped out the innards of most of the houses in the Detroit area.

So now she is legally adorable. Oy.

Awesomecakes.

smonster, easy for you to say. She's like Miss Princess already. She's been imitating the teacher shushing people. At soccer (where she won the sportsman award -- again, kid you not... this is the kid who made herself throw up when she didn't want to play), the volunteers love to pick her up and spin her around and Alexie, the little boy in a walker, actually said today, "I have a crush on Gracie. She's cute!"

Oy.

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

They are politicians. Of course they're stupid.

Not seriously, right?

Quick, Kat, make Noah (my keyboard suggested mpreg for that) legally cute, or something. This cannot stand.

Well, the org I worked for in NC put metal cages around all the A/C units. We had the wiring stolen out from under a house we worked on. They got about $100 of copper; it cost about $5K to rewire, IIRC. There I worked in the hood. New Orleans is mostly hood, or the hood is only ever a few blocks away, I should say.

Yep.

Blighted/abandoned properties here have long been stripped for parts. What's heartbreaking is when people were trying to rebuild and literally overnight they'd lose $8K worth of copper and wiring that these fucking crackheads would sell for $500.

HA. Noah is not mpreg, thank god! I don't know how to make him legally cute. Nor do I know how to unmake Grace legally adorable.

No, of course not. My point was more that terrible laws are made all over the country, not just in the Alabama-Mississippi-Louisiana Vortex of Hickitude.

Because books.

Stealing copper piping was a huge issue up in Central New York, too.

Grace is officially adorable! That's adorable in itself.
