River ,'Jaynestown'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
JFC, Brenda! Horrible.
Today was a wretched Monday, starting with Loki fucking up my alarm on a day I had to leave at my usual time to make a swim at Druid. But I said fuckit and left to go swim. That part was nice. The rest can just suck it. And at the rate I'm eaten alive by mosquitos when taking out the trash, I'm damned end up with zika. And I'm not fucking checking my email tonight.
Ack, Sheryl! That's no good. I get the feeling maybe we should all duck and cover, just on general principles.
Boo, Sheryl.
Oh no, Sheryl! That sucks.
I'm glad you weren't hurt, Sheryl.
Sheryl, I'm glad you are ok. I hope the fuss and bother with the insurance is not too much.
So glad nobody's hurt, Sheryl, and that it didn't happen with the little guy in the car.
Brenda, how awful. What a tragedy.
I finally got some info about a training in San Diego next month -- it's going to be well out of the city center, in a hotel near a mall, maybe two malls. And we don't get to rent a car. So I'm suddenly pretty disgruntled, especially since the info says that "business casual" forbids jeans. And I'm like, seriously? I can wear jeans in my office but I can't wear it at your training? Stupid.
Sad about Gene Wilder, but it sounds like he had a better experience with AD than many people do.
Ugh, Sheryl. I'm glad no one is hurt.
Sorry, Sheryl, that sucks. Glad you're okay though.
That is dumb, Consuela.
This article is fascinating (from a link about the slaves mentioned in the Star Spangled Banner)--I had no idea, but now I really want to read fiction about these people/events! (I mean, nonfiction would be interesting too, but probably written more dryly than I like my reading). People who were slaves who escaped and fought for the British in the war of 1812, and were rewarded with land in Trinidad (or Nova Scotia apparently!?). Pretty cool! (I mean, sad and depressing about the United States involvement in that, for sure)
