Walking home from work right now, I came across a group of people, and I said to myself, "Why are all these people wearing tweed in 80% humidity?" and then I remembered that Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is filming in my neighborhood.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
...have to go buy a car....
Me too.
Short story: morning commute traffic on the interstate last week, accident far ahead brought traffic to a standstill. Someone behind me didn't stop in time and I got shoved into the semi-trailer who was stopped ahead of me. Slow impact (perhaps 5 mph?) but it was enough to total my 2005 Kia Optima. No one was hurt. No damage to the semi-trailer or even its "bumper" -- which came *over* the top of my bumper, into my radiator and lights, failing to trigger the airbags. Take-away lesson: don't hit a semi-trailer from behind in a sedan, your airbags will likely not deploy, which at a higher speed could be very bad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yikes, dcp. I'm glad no one was hurt.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I echo everything sj just said.
then I remembered that Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is filming in my neighborhood
I'm not sure who is filming in my neighborhood, but they had a whole lot of gear in the funeral home behind my building today.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Congratulations, dcp! I mean, commiserations on your car, but we're glad you're still here and unscathed.
Happy Anniversary, Sheryl!

Re:probiotics to help with intense antibiotics. I recommend Florstar. That, plus some deeply unpleasant drugs, helped me recover from a post-antibiotic bout of C. difficile. The next time I'm on antibiotics I'm going to start taking Florstar proactively, because C. dif. is no joke.
