Hubby says he saw a story about oar fish--those gigantic things coming ashore in Southern Cali--that says those fish are known to beach themselves before tidal wave events. Apprently, oar fish came ashore before the Japanese earthquake but the story was not made widely known for fear of fear. He watches a lot of international news and picked this up there. I'm too lazy to get the citations.

Re: Daily Show--Jon Stewart has always been dismayed that his show is considered real news. I remember his magnificent Crossfire interview, where he said "You're CNN! I follow a show about puppets making crank calls!" And "I won't be your monkey."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Burrell, I am sorry to hear this, and wish a peaceful passing for your sister, and strength to you and your family. I'm glad you took this week off.

Much love to you.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Oh yes. There were 2-3 big ass fish found in SoCal. The news in CA discussed this quite a bit in the last week. I did not know there was a connection to global events though. The news mentioned scientists were trying to figure out why the fish were here.

Here is the story:

Oh, Burrell. So much sympathy for you, and for her.

I'm so glad she's come to peace with it, of a sort. It's my biggest regret about my mother--between her mental health issues and her dementia, she was incapable of even beginning to process the idea of dying, and as a result she was panicky and terrified. I felt so bad for her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Burrell, I'm glad you had this week away from work.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm sorry, Burrell. I'm glad you're able to take the time off.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Burrell, so much sympathy for you, your sister, and your family.
