Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I have made it to Detroit where my connecting flight has been delayed further, so I am soothing myself with the Celery Juice episode of Maintenance Phase.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am sorry you are delayed, but it is so weird that I was just listening to Maintenance Phase. I mean, I guess not, because we have all known each other for so long that our tastes are probably in alignment, but…

Yeah so it took me nine hours to go what should have taken 3.5. I gave up and got a hotel room but I’m so annoyed!!

Oh jeez. Are you going to carry on in the am?

I am going to get up v early and go as far as I can but doubt I can make it to Portland tomorrow, which was the plan. Minor problem being that my temporary registration expires tomorrow. And the plates are in Portland. So if I don’t make it there tomorrow I’ll be tempting a ticket.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Good luck. It's a long drive but doable, if not enjoyable.

I'm with you on the legal car being super annoying thing. My tags are still not here. My postal worker likely thinks I've been replaced by a pod person because I've checked my mail every dang day for weeks.

That said, safety is way more important than a fix-it ticket.
