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

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

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.

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?

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...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm right on the average for time to work in my zip code. My worst CA commute was from West LA to Simi Valley which was routinely around two hours home and one to work (37 miles of hell) in best cases. Worst cases (could involve fleeing fire) would involve canyon passes and drives that make me sick to be in control of.
