Hey -t, did you get your computer glasses online? I can't figure out what to do with the bifocal prescription.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

I was sitting in McDonalds having a burger, when several people sporting Cruz for President stickers sat down in the booth next to me. Apparently he's in my state today, and they were all at his rally. I was actually done, but I decided to stay and eavesdrop on them.
They hate Trump but they'll hold their noses and fight back vomiting to vote for him against Hillary. Also, there's a genetic component to being able to tell if someone's a shyster. It's tied into the sense of smell, apparently. Smarter people are more likely to have the ability, as are, funnily enough, conservatives and people with higher moral standards. Oh, and Obama's a psychopath, but one of the charming ones, and this guy who wrote a book about narcissistic presidents only left Obama out because of courtesy to a sitting president. "But I'm sure he'll put out a revised edition as soon as Obama's gone." "Who were the most narcissistic?" "Clinton and JFK." "JFK? No!" "See how clever he presented himself? You don't believe it even now."
Cruz is going to save us. I'm surprised no one noticed me snickering at them.

Our wings are not tired.
As scary as Trump is, Cruz is scarier to me.

I didn't, Jesse. I've always gotten my glasses from the optometrist. I probably have a negative amount of information about dealing with eyeglass prescriptions.
FTR: lawn still not mowed. Took a nap instead. These things happen. It's not supposed to rain until noon tomorrow, so maybe I can manage enough in the morning to not embarrass my neighbors too much the rest of the week.

And now I am doing my semi-traditional Saturday evening watch of Thursday's shows, which I mention because OMG Scandal Jake's fiancee is Ava Crowder! Sans accent so I would not have realized without IMDB, but now I want her to shoot someone.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sending strength vibes your way, Liese.

Dag -- someone just tried to use my Discover card to buy (I'm going to guess Hamilton) tickets, and Discover texted and emailed me, they are cancelling my card and fed-ex-ing me a new one. They are ON IT.

But you could have gotten HAMILTON TICKETS.
