Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Puzzles if they are a puzzle person. Crossword books if they like those. Coloring books and crayons for those inclined. Things that can be done for as long or as sort of a time as they can handle.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That’s what baseball is for.
True, that. At least if this game keeps going south, we've got one more game to try to pull it off.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
For those of you who have had chemo, or with someone who did, what should I stick in a care package for a friend who is having chemo? I was thinking trashy magazines, a very soft blanket, and some ginger chews or tea. Thoughts?
All your and Cass's ideas sound good, plus maybe a pair of fuzzy socks to wear during treatments. If has a kindle or ipad or whatever, maybe a gift certificate to download some apps or books?

ita, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that bullshit today. I hope tomorrow is better.
Stephanie, I hope Sammy is feeling better soon.

This is cool:
The researchers found that the skin of sardines and herring contain not one but two types of guanine crystal. Each has different optical properties. By mixing these two types, the fish's skin doesn't polarize the reflected light and maintains its high reflectivity.
The result is an optical illusion that can make the fish at times seem invisible to other marine dwellers
