Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Are those two posts related?

Have fun, travelling people! I need to rest up from my staycation, but shortly I think it'll be time to start planning for Iceland...

Have fun storming the Ecuador!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

-t, are you going to Iceland for the eclipse? I was halfway planning to go to Iceland next year for the solar eclipse.

Yes, Zen, eclipse! Come with me!

A solar eclipse in Iceland? That's pretty cool!

Every family should have someone who specializes in car repair. My faux-son came over last night to investigate why my Jeep's headlights don't come on. He poked around with his testing stuff, discovered all the fuses are good, then sat and pondered a few minutes. Then he flipped the high-beam switch back and forth a few times, and the lights came on. Seems the switch is wearing out, and it can get stuck between the low-beam and high-beam setting. That could have gotten very expensive in a shop that didn't have his troubleshooting skills. A free fix and a chance to brag on him!

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

Heh. That's happened to me twice (on two different cars). Too bad I didn't think of this when I saw your post.

So, looking around google for images to take to the hairdresser on Thursday, I came across this site, which totally made me think of David.

Other notes on google: it is hard to distinguish an image search for hair that is pink, and hair worn by the singer Pink.

Yes! Solar eclipse in Iceland! It won't be total, but very very close to it. I would love to go with you! We must plan! My usual travelling companion will still be in school and may not have the money or time to go with me, and I'd rather not go alone.

The next (after 2015) total solar eclipse I can reasonably get to will be over North America on August 21, 2017. I can wait, but why?!?

Iceland is awesome! I hope to go back someday. Have fun with the eclipse! I hope everyone else travelling has great journeys, too.
