tommy, that's so much to deal with. I'm sorry all of the shit seems to hit the fan at once.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Sorry for everything piling on, tommy. "Eating your feelings" seems like a perfectly cromulent response to me. Much ~ma.
Connie, I would hope that your doctor has the sense to recognize that your priorities have been rejiggered lately and to not be jerks about it. And that the info precedes you to your appointment. ~Ma for you too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
For about half an hour there I didn't have anything urgent and could decide what to work on next. I was very careful not to say so out loud, but I guess I thought it too loud because boy is that state gone.

And it's only been an hour since the last time I bitched. Bah. Again.
And if I'm not careful, some major company will have a catastrophic crash and keep me here till 8.

Clay [the governor] said that he has been urging U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to “take over the entire situation because we will not get justice for Michael Brown and his family and friends if the St. Louis County police and prosecutor have a say.”
Clay's actually the US House Rep. Jay Nixon (such an unfortunate name for a politician) is the governor. Sorry to get pedantic. Despite the name, Nixon is a good sort, and well-regarded enough to get elected twice as the Democratic governor of a red state.
Anyhow, the Highway Patrol have taken over from the Ferguson police. This is a very, very good thing. For one thing, their chief is from that general area of town, originally.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well that was quick.

It is the first hopeful sign I have seen. I pray that tonight is a calmer night on all sides. The Ferguson police have made this situation a complete nightmare.
