I vote that Burrell's kids go to stay with cousins for a long weekend and she come to TX!!
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Anyway you can go away for a weekend?
Not really. One of the lesser-discussed downsides to dead grandparents is the lack of people willing to take your kids for a weekend. Otherwise I'd be totally on board the go-to-Texas train.
eh, I'm just being grumbly because I was looking forward to getting some time to myself to write, and so far the quiet afternoons have been most productive. But I'll ovary up and deal.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Weather's been in the 90s for most of the week, and is forecast to be the same through the weekend. Of course. This weekend is the Washington Folk Festival, which is mostly outdoors.

Our wings are not tired.
The weather is completely wacky. The forecast for great swathes of the country is for temperatures higher than here. That almost never happens. Although the 90 we have forecast is plenty.

We're under a tornado watch. I have a co-worker who is Polish and listens to Polish radio at her desk. Oddly enough the weather in Poland today was also rainy and windy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I found a pdf of a total of dog attacks, by breed, in the US & Canada from 1982-2009.
The usual suspects aren't surprising, except for just how many attacks they involve. What gets me is the 1 reported Pomerian attack. I would love more details about that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
You just know Pomeranian attacks are underreported.

information libertarian
I knew a victim in one of those fatal attacks; she was a coworker at UGA. (See the notes, under Dobermans. She was walking her dog on their country road and was killed by a pack of dogs someone had abandoned at a local house; her husband came looking for her in their car and was killed also. They loved animals and had about 12 rescued pets themselves.)
