A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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

I think it would take longer for me to take the bus to work than to walk. There's a stop not far from my house, and one right by work, but they are on different lines and the transfer point is probably at least as far from each as they are from each other.

Eta: I do have two train tracks to cross on the most direct driving route, but there isn't usually a train to wait for at the time I'm going.

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

(fatal accident on the nearby freeway shut everything down)

Every once in a while someone commits suicide by train, which causes delays of 1.5 to two hours.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I think my commute is about 15-20 miles each way. As I rarely go directly home (swing by, pick up Paul, go pick up Lilly) if I drive in, I haven't measured lately.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Mathy question for afriend: when calculating key word density for a 300 word article, 2% would be 6 uses of the word, and 4% would be 12 times?

Yes. 300 × 0.02 = 6; 300 × 0.04 = 12.

I DID MATH RIGHT! I WIN!

Thanks, Tom.

Now for errands in the snow and back to resume writing!

Damn, I'm tired...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey, before I start Googling, who knows stuff about bird baths? I put up a feeder this weekend, and now I think I need a bath to go with it, but I don't really know anything about them.

Specifically, what is the maximum distance from the feeder it should be? (The spot I have in mind is across the lawn, but maybe that is too far.) Also, are there any types or brands you would recommend or steer clear of?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

There have been people waiting in line for one of the public seats since Friday.

YIKES. Color me impressed.

So the new caretaker starts today: 9-1. We'll see how it goes, but at least I don't have any panicked phone calls yet...
