It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Called the cops about a disturbance in the hood a few minutes ago, now listening to the police scanner on my ipad to figure out the outcome. Welcome to the future, Jesse!
Also I used this app (tune in radio) to listen to the inauguration while running.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Okay, the Fringe finale really was pretty awesome. I may have to buy it even.

Jesse, I think you'll want this link for the Tumblr: [link]
In which a bottlenose dolphin approaches some commercial divers for help, because its pectoral fin is entangled in fishing line.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I edited it back out.
Done! And now to bed, having just spent two hours going over this friend's resume & cover letter. She's applying for a position in my office; can you tell I really want her to come work with me?

Because books.

I don't get all the disclaimers. Why would anyone object to helping an injured animal?

Why would anyone object to helping an injured animal?
Because it's a violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act to interfere with a dolphin--might even be a felony. You need special permits to approach them, or even to stay where you are while they approach you. That diver took a big risk that NOAA Fisheries wouldn't come down all hard-ass on him.

brillig
Mankind acting like it has power over nature, which offends some people who apparently don't think that mankind has the right to act like it is just as much a part of nature as everything else?
Nature red in tooth and claw people, where it's tough luck, Flipper?
Hell, a sentient creature asks for help, another sentient creature should do their best to give aid.
(apparently I have issues)
edit: Or actual legal issues, which Consuela pointed out and I had no clue about, so spouted off.

But why would it be a felony? I guess I don't see how it can be a bad thing.
