I made up a "zombie apocalypse survival kit" care package for my staff that featured fun-sized candy bars, a big emery board, little sample-size tin of Nivea, and a handful of single packets of antibacterial wipes - all gotten at the dollar store.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Or maybe chapstick? Good for those dry, heavily air-conditioned rooms.
Wait, you're in Denver. Maybe every room isn't actually freezing.

The status is NOT quo.
People, I have a scholastic press rights work retreat in Ohio from Wednesday to Sunday, and I need to do some work to get ready, and I Just. Can't.

Pix, I wish I could send you motivation.

The status is NOT quo.
The worst part is that I don't even want motivation! I want to sit on my butt in the air conditioning and read and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist.

I hear that McCain is troubled by the CBO score of the Senate's health plan/tax cut.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
McCain is often troubled, but in the end never actually votes as if he were.

I thought about chap stick, Dana, but didn't find a knock off version at the Dollar Store and I'm kinda out of time to shop around.
We got mini hand sanitizers, individual wrapped mini Snickers, and a bunch of flat rocks. Flat rocks? You ask? My BFF is going to use paint pens on them to write You're a ROCK STAR and You're my HERO and such on them for me.

Today, at Monro Brake & Muffler, I listened while the lead mechanic first recommended that a young lady go to a neighborhood 'no name' shop ( and gave her #s) after their quote was more than she could afford right now, and printed out a list of repairs in order of importance & told her to tell them to call him with questions. And that she didn't need manufacture parts. They charged her nothing. Then he took a call where he sent the caller to another shop 'they are the experts on that system.' And they didn't try to upsale me on an oil & filter change, just checked everything and said nothing more was needed. Either a front for something or ridiculously honest. Given all the old folks dropping off cars who they knew by name, I'm guessing more the latter. It was almost funny.
