Wow, what a great story to walk in on. Sorry I have been MIA for so long folks. My new job is kicking my butt
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Also I would never lie to you about something as cool as doctors named Electron and Positron. You won't get any fake news from me. I cannot tell a lie.
I'm just amazed at the synchronicity. I should post authors' weird name more often!

Now I'm wondering if she's aware of her super-villain namesake at Marvel.

I knew about Dr. Electron Kebebew! Probably because I have a minor obsession with unusual names, and follow the Tournament of Naming [link] religiously. (It's an annual ritual to try and read through the brackets without having to stop due to inability to breathe and sore tummy. The runner-up this year was Dr. Narwhals Mating.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's the best name ever.
Way back when I was a CSR, I kept a list of the oddest names I came across. The kid named Kozmyk Moses is the only one I still remember.

I ran across a D. J. Moo the other year. He wrote a scholarly article on a religious topic, but I like to think of him spinning tunes in a cow suit.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's been raining on and off here today. Went out in the morning, but not in the afternoon. (I took a nap)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
with siblings named Positron, Neutron, Deutron and Proton
Those are amazing. The OG nuclear family.

The Druid Hill Country Club swim is at Roosevelt, in Hampden, this weekend, because Druid is closed. I figured it'd be sparsely attended, and in the back of my head, I wondered something. The core, die hard CCers are mostly retired black folk.They are the heart of DHCC. Hampden, in their lifetime, has been a place they did not feel welcome (it's come up.)
There were 0 nonwhite ppl there this morning.
It could be a lot of other reasons, you know, but here? You have to WORK to ignore the ways white supremacy sneaks into everything. And many do.
And hey, a cop beat the shit out of another black man here today [link] & the Same old song & dance. I really think the BPD should be disbanded & LEOBR in MD revoked. (Edit to get acronym right.)
