Thanks, Kat. It really helped getting some of that stuff out and talking about it. I got through yesterday much better than anticipated, and actually had a pretty good day. I'm taking tomorrow and Monday off, which will also help a lot.

Our furnace is on. It will warm up a touch in a couple of days, and I appreciate this little warning bell of a minor winter storm--Hubby reported short-lived snow on the grass at the house today, thus it's a winter storm--before the real deal settles in.
We went to get new wiper blades for my car, and the garbage can outside the auto part store was full of wiper blade boxes where all the other people had said, "Crap, I need new wipers!" The store manager was highly amused at the uptick in wiper sales.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
JZ, I'm glad you said what you said. You're right, and I'm sorry for my part in it. I try not to do that, either backchannel or here, just for my own peace of mind, because it feeds my own brain monsters too much.
Consuela, I'm glad the work presentation went well!
I'm so sorry to hear about Deena's health.

ita, there's also a service that costs you about $25, and it lets you run the VIN on a car and find out if it's been in any accidents. I forget what it's called--Carfax, maybe?
Man, the temperature has really dropped here this week. I had to break out my pashmina already.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Fall weather is blowing in (loudly) here in the Languedoc. I'm kinda glad that I didn't schlep my fall coat here for nothing.
I'm also sad to hear that Deena's doing poorly.

ita ! I'm sorry about all the garbage the universe has dumped on you - I hope things get better.
I'd like to add to Consuela's note - check and make sure any care you're interested in hasn't been in a flood as well as accident. Seemingly, a number of cars that were flooded in the eastern part of the country are being fixed up and some are being sold without disclosing their watery history.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wow, T.Rex comics made me go look up Mummy Brown.
Apparently, one of the all time great pigments used to be ground up mummies.
Heh! The Time Magazine article about it in 1964 is delightfully macabre.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thomas Boswell has the perfect description of Tigers manager Jim Leyland: "Normally, he looks like he just found four dead bodies in the trunk of an Elmore Leonard character’s car and can’t bear to ask Dutch how they got there."
