"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's too bad; I'd prefer the Iowa was in the SF Bay area.

Yeah, I hated that decision. But generally I hate any local posturing about Federal laws. You can't even drive nuclear material through Berkeley! Not even a little plutonium pellet you might be using for your matter transporter!

Sad. I'm still eating it, though.

In related Sad Ice Cream News, JZ's mom brought over some chocolate ice cream when she came over for dinner last night. But I don't think she realized it was fat free ice cream for people who are lactose intolerant. It had so little creaminess to it that it literally flaked as I was trying to scoop it out.

Fortunately, Matilda liked it so it shall be foisted on her.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

See, my hummingbirds are bold enough to come right up to me, but I am too scared by their pointy beaks and sudden quick movements to really let them. I think I need to refill at least one feeder, though, I should get on that.

You need californium for that.

The local frozen custard shop (Ollies) had an experimental red velvet cake flavor. It was mostly just sweet. They're Thin Mint Cookie custard is OH so much better.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I had sake toffee ice cream just the other day. It was delicious!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know! But to them they're ordinary movements. I just have to calm myself, because the hummingbirds are totally chill. They just look completely frenetic to me.

Although my big fear is getting in the way of the endless and brutal hummingbird battles.

That's true, if I could be sure they didn't want to impale me I would trust them not to. But sometimes they are very angry that I have let the sugar supply get too low. And they are always angry with each other, it appears, so there might be bleed over from that.

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

Angry hummingbirds? Make them giant and you'd have a SyFy movie.
