Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

A number of people in a (very nice) neighborhood in my city were having problems with a guy who was using Airbnb to rent out his house. It was a good-sized house, but he'd advertised it so that it was being rented for large - like 400 people - parties with lots of noise, traffic, parking problems - that kind of thing. It took a good while, but they did get Airbnb to include a limit on the number of people who could be in the house. Then the guy was shocked - shocked, I tell you - when he got nailed with files by the city for running a commercial place with no licenses, permits, disregarding occupancy limits and so on.

Same guy got into trouble in yet another neighborhood because he was running an operation that was a yoga studio during the day but a party place at night. Again, in a residential neighborhood, causing problems with noise, traffic, parking, etc.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Your poor mom, Matt! I hope she does feel better.

So I did not realize that Darkness at Noon was the title of anything other than the fake show on The Good Wife.

How un-American to stop him from trying to make a better life for himself! Haven't they heard of property rights? (It's big around here for people to get very bent out of shape when their neighbors object to how they live on their own property.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm writing a quiz in LaTeX, which means that a lot of the standard formatting used for writing articles isn't what I want.

I hope your mom feels better, Matt.

That's probably why it popped into my head! I did know about it before, though. But never read it.

Cupcakes were good, I have a second one for an afternoon pickmeup. No Darkness or Murder for anyone involved, just singing and one candle lit in complete contravention of our safety regulations.

Yeah the shingles "vaccine" is not to prevent, but lessen the severity of a shingles attack, that is what my mother was told by Drs. She has had the vaccine and last year had her second shingles outbreak.

I discovered the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in my office last week, which is dangerous knowledge for me to have.

So if you're a data center, you should probably make sure your front door router, the one through which you connect to the internet, which currently has no redundancy for reasons, is really really really not plugged into that power supply you just unplugged.

Not that that ever happens, of course.
