Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
Very scary. I wish I could divert rain your way.

We'd sure appreciate it! It is supposed to be less hot tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers that that means conditions improve for containment and whatnot
Perhaps reading a murder mystery set during Katrina while keep half an eye on the evacuation orders is not that smart of a choice. Surely there's something else I can read...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
This is what always gets me about the theft of religious objects, particularly something like an outdoor yard statue, that is unlikely to have any monetary value.
I'm just watching an episode of QI, where the story was told of this priest from England who visited brethren in France, at a location where they had the arm of (allegedly) Mary Magdalene. And this priest went in to venerate said relic, and surreptitiously bit one of the fingers off and took it back to England with him.
So if ever you visit a Catholic shrine or abbey or whatnot in possession of a saint's relic, and there's a sign up saying:
KEEP BEHIND THE BARRIER
NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
NO BITING
You'll know why.

What is even happening?
That's too funny, billytea.
I wasn't even thinking about relics (although you think people who believe them authentic would be really afraid to bite off a finger).

Huh. Got an alert that my company is closing the Vallejo office tomorrow, I assume because of the fire, but nothing about Fairfield which is a lot closer to the fire and seems more in danger to me. I wonder what the reasoning is there. Maybe it's some other reason, the alert did not actually say.

It would be really nice to have some rain about now.
So greedy! We just had a rare summer thunderstorm last weekend.
Which....started all the wildfires.

Apparently that's only people who believe in germ theory.
