This doesn't in any way equate, but the Little League drama this morning is also really depressing.
Oh, I just looked that up. That sucks! What a drag.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Looked it up, too. That is depressing. Today: getting the face from me.
Except for -t birthday!

ARGH. Our seller is not willing to do almost all of the things we asked. Including FIXING THE ELECTRICAL CODE VIOLATIONS.

In good news, though, my niece had the tubes-in-her-ears surgery this morning and it went fine.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Does your seller think that these things will magically fix themselves?
Can you get a substantial price discount? Or is the seller just completely inflexible?
(I'm sorry. Home-buying can drive you nuts.)

Because books.
That's horrifying, amyth. Jesus.

Off to meet a woman who's opening a French bakery/grocery here in town, and may have a job for me. (The editing is awesome but in no way fulltime, at least not paywise.) I'm dreaming of brioche.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was up past midnight last night, so I slept an hour late this morning and then drove to work to partially make up for the late start. I'm so tired I went through the McDonalds drive-through, ordered and paid for my food and drove off without picking it up. I realized my mistake a half a block away, so that wasn't so bad.
Vaguely related, yesterday I saw a 1980s Japanese McDonalds commercial which talked about their new drive-through. They said "drive-through" in English, not Japanese.

The seller came down a lot on price before the inspection, and feel like she doesn't need to come down more. But we bid low because we felt the house was overpriced and it needed a lot of cosmetic work. The electric stuff didn't come out until inspection. It's a lot of bullshit little stuff (hot water heater doesn't have a required expansion tank, chimney needs a cap, which we can tell because there are animal bones on top of the hot water heater, etc.), but it adds up.

A sad thing. The south Chicago team that won had its title stripped because they had team members from outside of their region and lied about it.
