Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Our wings are not tired.

Ha, there are slots everywhere. Enjoy, Connie! I loved going to Hoover Dam. I went before the big new bridge, which looks horrifying to height phobic me.

I am going to Vegas some time next month. Not sure what side trips yet.

I went over the big new bridge when I did my Grand Canyon tour last year. We went over the dam at night on the way back. Gorgeous. But many years ago, when we went to Arizona every winter, we'd go over the dam. One year they closed the dam, and we had to take a four-hour detour through badlands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm already planning my Vegas trip in August -- too far away!

Slots everywhere! And breathalyzers for sale in the airport news stands.

I'm way over this snow y'all. And there's more coming (and it's snowing now). Wtf Seattle.

Ha! It's true. We don't want our children to do bad things.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hec, it was really hysterical. She sounded like a bored teenager when she was saying it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You can trust me, I'm a software developer.

Totally stealing this for my resume and/or next performance review.

The only hitch is that those will be read mostly by software developers.

Who should appreciate?

Why for is it Monday? All the animals are fed and the garbage and recycles are curbside. Zoe gets 3 pill pockets plus the pills she eats without disguise with her food in the morning. Then 2 pill pockets with dinner. She takes I think 14 pills a day now. I had to cut back her food a bit because she was gaining weight from all the pill pockets. Kitties know the old lady gets fed first then it is their turn. They scamper into their room where they get breakfast and then stay secured there so Zoe can have the back doors open to go in and outside as she pleases for a couple hours. We've settled into a routine. Maybe a couple more weeks and I'll test letting the kitties outside. They really like us at this point so I expect they won't bolt. It will be a process I'm sure.

It's true, software developers are the most trusted people. Any poll will tell you that.... once you run the results through the tallying software.

Seriously, slots in the airport?

One last chance to wring change out of departing visitors!

It did make me laugh when I visited in 2001. Of course, I spent a grand total of two quarters on gambling the whole weekend I was in Vegas, and that was just because I was wandering around in the casinos waiting for my hotel room to open.
