US Car Sales visualized as a GoT type atlas.

(I was hoping for it as the opening sequence of GoT. . .alas.)

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

On Fridays I sometimes reward myself for making it through the week with a nice lunch. Today it's blueberry waffles and hot chocolate with whipped cream.

Yeah, you better get an Italian beef just to balance that out.

But it was fun! I arranged varying numbers of blueberries into the holes/pits of the waffle.

So this month I get paid three days late, because that's how long it took our payroll company to figure things out after the whole fiscal cliff thing.

I can deal with the lateness fine, but I'm wondering how many people were affected by something similar.

This is a fascinating article about bacteria and how vital they are to our health: [link]

Makes me wonder, because I never used to get sinus infections, but they've been more and more common since my mid-30s. I wonder if some course of antibiotics killed off the good microbes in my sinuses...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When were you supposed to get paid, tommyrot? I got the stub for today's paycheck yesterday or something, with the increased payroll tax accounted for.

Usually my boss submits the payroll on the 1st and I get paid the 4th or 5th. This month my boss couldn't submit payroll until just now (because folks at the payroll co were still figuring stuff out or something), and I get paid on the 8th.

Dunno why it took them three days. Originally they said the delay would be one day.
