Best wishes for Tommy's parents and for the head of Brenda's organization. Let's hope that storm blows the bad karma out of the Midwest to a permanent spot in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, far from any shipping lanes.

Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm still not entirely clear on how I'm supposed to say it. Not that it comes up that often for me. And it took me about three tries to type it correctly.
Happy Birthday Laura!
Birthday happies, Laura!
It's two syllables Jod - purs.

So, maybe Benedict resigned because of this internal report on gay clergy in the Vatican and blackmail and other things?? [link]
Happy birthday, Laura!

I read that somewhere else too. Scandal! But resigning before it's even public seems so weak willed, particularly for a man of God.

The story making the rounds locally is about a sheep-owner who shot two Bernese Mountain Dogs that wandered into his yard. They a) belonged to his neighbor, b) are herding dogs by nature. Also? He apparently used a single-shot rifle, which means he had to STOP AND RELOAD to kill the second one. And he's within in his rights in this state, which is just fucking charming. (Spoiler-fonted for being horrible.)
The Google banner for today is for Edward Gorey's birthday. Very nice.
