Yeah, we have a neighbor with a bumper sticker that reads: "The Second Amendment: America's ORIGINAL Homeland Security!" Someone with an attitude like that, I don't want to criticize. (Plus, Northside really needs at least a couple of right-wingers to balance out all the crunchy Green Party types and the abortion-loving, latte-drinking run-of-the-mill Democrats.) (Seriously, in the last presidential election, I did feel sorry for Gun Nut Neighbor* because, in a vast sea of Obama signs, he had a Romney sign, way back behind a fence.)
*We have 2 neighbors with the same first name: the gun nut and a guy who sits on his front porch and whittles. So we have dubbed them "Gun Nut Ron" and "Whittling Ron." Not to their faces. But they're both retired, so I usually see one or both of them when I take a walk, so if I have anything to report to Tim, I have to clarify which Ron I mean, so they got descriptors attached to their names. (I haven't seen Whittling Ron in a while. I hope he's okay.)
I mostly just don't really like having to see a picture of Hitler (along with a totally wrong argument) whenever I go to pick up copies.
Hil, that sounds like the definition of a "hostile work environment."
Maybe bring it up at the next Climate and Diversity Committee meeting.
runs and hides!

That's very Park and Rec.
Since 2004, I have had no sympathy at all for wrong-headed fuckwittery. Don't care if I find you personable: I have no sympathy if your party affiliation sells me down the river. None.
In the nearly 10 years that we have been together I have managed to turn TCG into an Italian food snob. Last night's dinner was not very good, and we are reminded that while my in-laws can usually be trusted on recommendations for a good restaurant, we should not trust them when it comes to Italian restaurant recommendations.
I think I've discovered why I stopped reading. Apparently, if you wear the reading glasses, it makes it fun again. I've spent the morning reading. Haven't even eaten yet. Crazy. Like I was a kid again.
Yay, glasses! What are you reading?
Tripwire. It's from the Jack Reacher series.
My Mom uses support/compression socks from Jobst to help keep her venus stasis from leading to edema. Jobst these days is about 18 bucks a pair. Is there another brand anyone can rec that is less expensive that would provide the same level of support/compression?
