You didn't see people's cell phones getting stolen in 1675, I tell you what.
Because of the open-carry muskets.
Mighty fine shindig.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I will not get involved in gun debate on local news site. I will not. That would be stupid, and pointless. (People are saying that people here are too sheltered, and that if we all went and lived in big dangerous cities for a month, we'd see how important it is that civilians carry guns. I'm very tempted to list all the dangerous places that I've lived without a gun, and never had a problem. But I will not, because it is facebook and my real name, and I do not want to attract the attention of the gun nuts. Also, I'm not going to convince anyone of anything, because the fact that I've lived in those places will probably make me an elitist liberal who doesn't know anything.)
And the "Keep on busing them in from the city" guy has posted that same comment on just about every article about local crime, and has a Confederate flag in his profile pic. Dude, might want to take a look at a map.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Had work review thing. Did not fall into a giant hole in the ground. Was given mostly the nice kind of feedback. Decided that continued state of being employed means I deserved the good tacos for lunch.

Hooray tacos (and continuing employment with mostly nice feedback)!
I had magic soup (Tom Yum, magic because it makes me feel so much better if I eat it when I am congested) for lunch, and I have leftovers for maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
We have a mission statement.
How were you able to get any work done before if you didn't have a mission statement?

Damn my lack of a good musket!
Managed to take off early from my site here and stop at Marshalls--and found the mother load of baggalini bags (which I love and I know a couple other folks here have). Not on clearance but still cheap enough that I'm buying two. ;)

After 4 weeks of no hot water, we finally have a new water heater.
I feel kinda like this should be profiled in Good Stuff, I am so damned happy.

Happy for you, Strix!

I got back the estimate of parts and labor for replacing the engine of my Subaru: $4500. I may have cried out a little, but I soon reminded myself that just the downpayment on a new car, or even the cost of a used car, is way way more. Also, the value of my current car goes from zero to like a significant percentage of what I'd be laying out.
Huge hunk of my remaining savings, but if I get a job that I need the car for commuting with. Maybe by spending the money, the universe will respond by helping me find a job....
