Ann, that's a ferret.

(She is a very recent college graduate and is SO VERY SURE of the way the world should work. Half the time I want to hug her and half the time I want to thwack her on the head.)

They're so cute at that age.

One FB friend is sanctimoniously saying that anyone without a law degree should not be expressing an opinion about the grand jury decision.

You can tell that person that, according to one of your online friends with a J.D. what your friend calls "a law degree"), the D.A. set forth a pretty good case for voluntary manslaughter. (You don't need to tell that person that I last studied criminal law almost 30 years ago, and I have never needed to know the laws involving homicide as part of my practice.)

If there is a silver lining to the Michael Brown matter, it's that it feels like a tipping point. The media aren't treating police shootings as one-off incidents anymore -- they're looking at a broader problem. Which means the opportunity to attempt (or at least discuss) broader solutions.

Oh, hey, I just got my 200th follower on Tumblr last night. It only took me three years.

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

Congrats, Tom!

I...am ignoring the news. I don't have room in my head to be angry at anything else right now.

Only one person on my FB feed made me want to punch things this morning. That is vastly better than I expected.

In other news, I had an interview for a position at a university within commuting distance this morning. It sounds like it could be a good fit. Here's hoping.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, good luck, Calli!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Working on getting papers off my desk, I sm doing the tedious: scan document in, upload to online program, name and file on computer, then file in hard files. All documents are single sheets,

I am doing it for an hour then taking a break.

Also have some receipts to scan in and upload. Also an expense report to complete.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good luck, Calli!

I am discussing the abstraction of constellations and the spacial complexities of 2 dimensional planes.

Aka ' the Little Dipper and Leo both look like mice' and folding paper.
