30 years ago, PETA seemed a reasonable group. Now, not so much.

If they're dead, no one can hurt them anymore. Perfectly sensical.

Jesse feel fee to give out my contact info. Email is better than cell.

Thanks -- I'll let you know.

Thus, they get tons of people viewing their commercial, without having to pay a dime for air time.

So they don't need much money for that, but I'm sure it drives a fair amount of donations. Not from people who do a lot of research.

Although, now I can't remember what book it was, but some author I like had an approving aside about PETA in a book I read recently.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Trudy!

Still love my new boss.

Had a minor panic attack when I came home and there were Vermont plates in the driveway. This being my landlady checking out the damaged house of my former neighbors, and my walk-up filled with weeds and the overflowing ashtray she surely saw when leaving a note in my door. Hi, your tenant is a slob!

This is the first time she's been by in three years. Yeah, lady, when I move out, this apartment is going to be a fucking disaster, because you never responded to my upkeep requests, and fuck if I'm going to do any landscaping without discount on the rent.

Thirty years ago, PETA was mailing envelopes with razor blades in them to random employee addresses at Emory's Yerkes Primate Center. If PETA had a sane period, it was earlier than that.

I bought an apple fried pie at a farmers' market this afternoon. After eating it, I wish I had bought all the fried pies.

Ooh, that sounds divine.

Tomorrow I will brave the DMV to get car titles straightened out. My Jeep needs to be in my name, the Mustang needs to get its identity legalized, and the Rodeo needs to be confirmed as no problem. Happy joy joy. Must make sure the tablet is charged and my hands are up to crocheting.

Nothing like going to the mailbox to grab the mail and having your neighbors point out that there's a film crew down the street, filming for a news segment on the mail theft that's been going on. The really annoying part is that everyone in the neighborhood is pretty sure about who is doing it (because they've been busted for mail theft before), but no one has caught them in the act to get them arrested again.

Hi locking mailbox that was just installed today. You're my new favorite thing.

On a conference call at work today, one of the participants was named Geoffrey, pronounced with a hard G. I've never before come across anyone who pronounced it that way. I kept having to restrain myself from asking, "Are you sure that's how to say your name?"
