Good news in Chicago. Pet stores are now banned from selling animals - they can only offer adoptables through rescue groups and shelters.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Teppy, where is a good fish fry? This seems like the kind of thing we need to try. (I totally regret not getting packzi yesterday - I might have seen the zip-lining tiger girl from Greenpeace!)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
flea, I hear St. Francis de Sales in Walnut Hills has a great fish fry, but I've never been. I know St. Mary in Hyde Park has a fish fry, but I think it's only 2 Fridays (as opposed to every Friday in Lent). St. James in White Oak is supposed to be really good, too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's fantastic news, Brenda! Makes me smile.
My LJ/DW username is so unpopular I never had a conflict with other users, so I just used it for Tumblr as well. It was already in use on Twitter, though--how rude!--so I came up with something silly on the spot. Not that I tweet much, or at all, really. The fic LJ is something else, and I didn't get my preferred spelling. But that turned out in my favor after all, so I'm pleased. Here, DWS, and FB are all my real first name, so.

Our wings are not tired.
St. Francis de Sales
Random, my sister went to St. Francis de Sales High School, in Utica though, not Cincy.

Oh, fish frys at the Grange hall! So damned good. The history of the Grange is interesting, collectives for farmers. I wonder if the Grange hall is still there back in my old township.

Ha, I was told the West Side was the only place to go for real fish fry! DeSales is a good lead, though. (There is a nice, really cheap house right off Woodburn that I've been admiring, but I am really undecided about that neighborhood, too. If we didn't have kids... but then, if we didn't have kids buying a 6br house would be very silly).

The Grange hall where I grew up was in the old opera house, and had a stage. They built a kitchen on it, and put in a window! I put on a performance of Steel Magnolia there, and just used it as the set!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The SATs are getting rid of the guessing penalty? What's the rationalization for that?

First they come for the analogies, now this:
Instead of arcane “SAT words” (“depreciatory,” “membranous”), the vocabulary words on the new exam will be ones commonly used in college courses, such as “synthesis” and “empirical.”
