Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Sorry, Dana! Sorry, msbelle! That is too bad, Gud, fingers crossed that you can find something that will make that work out for you.

I am pretty sure there were a bunch of other things I meant to say responding to earlier posts but my head can't hold anything for long, apparently. I'm thinking things without posting a lot, though, just so you know!

Damn, that is a lot of suck. Dana, hope it goes fast and mild. msbelle, I don't even know. I'm sorry.

Gud, what does NOT suck is seeing you post recently. May it continue!! Bummer about car woes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Dana. Are you now stuck in a hotel room in VA for the duration?

UGH, msbelle.

I don't have any actual car woes. I just wish the timing could work out better so I was popping a cheap, but good car free right now.

Down here, less than 100 miles away from Uvalde, the nightly news have been doing extended broadcasts on the shooting. I've been having to mute frequently, when it starts verging into real-world misery porn.

In slightly better news, Beto O'Rourke WENT THE FUCK OFF at Greg Abbot during a press conference.

And the Archbishop of San Antonio went down to Uvalde to offer what comfort he could in person. So there's at least one guy who's read his job description.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Ugh, that really has to be rough. (I say, with a flair for massive understatement.)

I will take whatever points of light I can in this awful situation.

I'm currently quarantining in a bedroom and kind of at a loss for what to do next.

Oh, Chris. I can just imagine. Just hearing the coverage on the radio while I ran errands today was an awful lot and the geographical closeness must make it all worse on several levels.

Oy, Dana. Do you have any kind of trip insurance that could help defray expenses? I think I heard recently that that was a thing to be aware of.
