I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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 may or may not be having fun poking broflakes on Who-themed Fb pages.

The Puritans moved to MA, not GA. Any head Puritans can STFU about the merits of AC when it gets above 80. I'm glad you're feeling better, Connie.

Will he wake up as Jefferson?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha!

BTW, I was on Rochambeau Street the other day.

Finally, apparently my neighbors believe 8 is the appropriate time to be noisy on a Sunday morning, as that is when they sent the kids out of the house. (Two neighbor kids + at least one cousin.)

Just spent a pleasant couple of minutes trying to identify the birds in the bougainvillea outside my kitchen window. Turns out they're just ordinary song sparrows.

And now I must walk the dog before it gets too warm.

Question: the kids from Burundi who went missing after the FIRST Robotics thing -- they aren't actually missing in a bad way, right? They just aren't going back to Burundi? That's my assumption, but then I just saw a post like "WE HAVE TO FIND THEM!!"

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah, Jesse, it sounds like they planned to not go back (their clothes are also gone). A couple were spotted trying to get into Canada, I think?

Yeah apparently at least 2 of them made it to Canada, I don't know what happened to the others.

Speaking of politics, here is a thing that is hella funny. Although it's kind of unexpected to see Ron Perlman on MSNBC: [link]

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We've had a fair bit of rain this weekend. Still hasn't cooled things down much. Ah, well, summer in DC.
