SuziQ, I may have been reading too many of David Waldman's tweets [link] but unless there's a serious reason for taking the gun (hunting, zombie uprising already in progress), I think it should stay home in a locked gun cabinet. I'm not anti-gun. My dad had several and hunted with them. He and a local sheriff gave me gun safety lessons when I was a teenager. If I was in a situation where having a gun made sense I'd feel reasonably comfortable getting licensed, trained, buying the appropriate safety items, and getting a nice rifle. But young people, an isolated spot, and a gun for the heck of it, do not seem like the best mix.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

I got my first pay from Uber. This is not so much keeping the wolf from the door as it is keeping a 300 foot buffer zone between me and the wolf.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If only wolf restraining orders actually worked.

Salt Lake City has declined to change their ground transportation rules to make Uber and Lyft happy.
Uber keeps arguing "We're not a taxi company, we're an app company the helps people co-ordinate rides with each other. You've got to get past your dated, 20th-century mindset." Supports argue that it's only the kickbacks from the taxi companies that is keeping SLC from embracing this modern way of doing business.

ita, I am watching Scorpion. I recognize that it's not a great show, but I'm enjoying it anyway so I just don't look too close. I still watch CSI, but missed a few eps due to conflicts and was surprised to find I didn't care that much. Still watching Criminal Minds due to my extreme love of Reid, Morgan, and Garcia. JLH doesn't suck quite as bad as expected, though I still dislike her intensely. But my love of R, M, & G is sufficient to keep me around.
