I'm impressed at Mueller's steadfastness in the face of all the pressure and attention. I bet people in his office are mainlining antacids.
edit: Oh, and playing the game of "Who is going to play me in the inevitable movie".
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Rain today, rain tomorrow, rain Friday.
Anybody know where I can get an ark?(I'm not building one myself)

Our wings are not tired.
Although it has rained every day for the past few I am still in celebratory mode. After the winter drought months we tend to get excited when it rains again. As I walked the dog in the rain I did express some gratitude that it was warm rain.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Me too - was your friend in Beacon?
Lake Carmel. Putnam County, I think?
The big fir tree in her front yard was shredded and there's some minor roof damage. Her neighbors on either side got hit worse.
Frankly, she couldn't take another house disaster as she had her pipes freeze up over xmas while her family was in Florida. It wasn't a Full Copper Repipe but it was really bad.
(Plus both her and her husband's cars were trashed in separate incidents this year.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The important part is that the dog is fine and so is she.
But, yeah. This is just ridiculous stuff upon stuff for her.

(For non-FB Buffistas, this is an old friend of Hec's who I was talking to a lot in his comments, so we skipped the middleman and friended each other--and then, as it turns out, she's friends with the parents of one of L's friends. BECAUSE OUR WORLD IS SMALL. But anyhow, she's awesome and deserves better luck.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oof, that sounds bad. Beacon also got tornado-ed - friends of ours lost power and their backyard has an upside down tree in it that wasn't there before, but otherwise got lucky. Wife was home with no lights or hot water and two scared kids, husband was stranded when Metro North stopped running any trains north of Peekskill. (We would have put him up but the train was already headed back to the city when she called us.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't like tornadoes. Very much not in favor.

What is with the weather these days?! Ugh
Between Trump's financial disclosure and Ronan Farrow's new New Yorker article, a lot of people are looking at Trump's money today.
I am at the What's the point, Republicans will never impeach him? point with the Mueller investigation. Also disheartening? The NYT article that points out how thoroughly the FBI f'ed up the initial investigation into Russian collusion

Toddson, sounds a lot like an inherited IRA. I got one from my dad and yeah, there's a mandatory disbursement each year because the person who set it up is over 70 and the government wants its cut. You would pay taxes on the disbursement, according to your current rate.
But because the company screwed up and you didn't get your disbursement, the IRS gets to take its cut plus a penalty, which I think adds up to about 50% of the annual amount.
I recommend you call the company and get this straightened out asap. And then call the IRS. You may not get the money back, but it's worth trying. Good luck, that sort of thing is such a pain!
