Palo Alto isn't a cab ride away.
Sure it is! A $100 cab ride away. My colleague said she would drive, so I guess that's what we will do! And hope for the best.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to take Chumley to the vet this afternoon -- this weekend I discovered a HUGE lump (like, pingpong sized) under what on a human would be his underarm. A couple weeks ago, I thought I felt a pea-sized lump, but the vet couldn't find it, and then came all the mishegas and drama of Minet with out of control cancer.
I don't know if it's been growing all along and I didn't notice (the fur is very loose on his body, so the mass is tucked under all that skin and fur) or it just surged in size recently.

I'm so sorry, Theo. Much ~ma for both you and Chumley.

Ah, spring in Utah, where people get out into the wilderness and trails and discover all the dead bodies from over the winter. 2 since Friday--though one was stuffed into a suitcase on the way into the west desert. Another was near a trail in the mountains. This does not count all the wrecks/shootings in the past few days. Public notice: if you're walking in the travel lanes on the freeway at 3:30 AM, you're likely to get smooshed.

SFO to Palo Alto to San Francisco
When is this happening?
never mind--found the post I missed--how long are you going to be here?
You can get from Palo Alto to SF on Caltrain, but the ease of getting to the Caltrain station depends on where you are in Palo Alto. SFO to Palo Alto would require BART and Caltrain, so probably not worth it.

Ah, spring in Utah, where people get out into the wilderness and trails and discover all the dead bodies from over the winter.
So if I want to get rid of a body, the Utah mountains during the winter are a good bet?
[Dear NSA: I am just kidding. I'm way too lazy to go to that much trouble. I'd probably prop the body up on my front porch with sunglasses and a 6-pack, a la Weekend at Bernie's. This is why I haven't turned to a life of crime.]

Yeah, pretty much. And dump spots are fairly easy to reach by car.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dear NSA: Since you know everything about everyone, can you set me up on a blind date with someone compatible?

Oh good one tommy. I would like the same, NSA people.
