Good news, Drew! Despite the delays.
Woot, Calli! Good luck on the interview.
Hey, good on the lesser commute, shrift.
Good luck on the reshuffling, -t.
I'm glad your job continues to not try to kill you, Theo.
Hooray for chonky bulldog birthday pets! And drinks with friends.
I'm so sorry about the condo buildings. I hope everybody is found and in good condition.
Yay, Matt. I'm glad you can see the back of Impostor Syndrome!
Congratulations, flea! Can't wait to see the pics.
Yay gym and happy supper, JenP. And may your root canal go without problems.
It is hot here--but I have AC. I'm afraid to laugh in the face of hell, though--the transformer could blow--just to pay me back for laughing.
Woo, Matt!
I would rather live somewhere that's not going to be miserable in the next twenty years due to climate change.
If you come up with a good option for that, I’d like to know about it. I mostly feel like it’s just a matter of which kind of bad you want to risk. Of course, I seem to have chosen fire by accident, and that’s maybe not the best
Congratulations, Flea!
Climate change is one reason I’m looking to go back to MI. While I’m also on the cold is better side of things, occasional polar vortex aside, MI is getting a bit less cold. The lakes are a buffer against drought. If civilization hiccuped and international trade was suspended, well, that would suck, but there are salt mines, sugar beets, farms, fish, deer and fowl for hunting, and dairy. The only food things I’d miss that can’t be grown there are coffee, chocolate, and spices. The extensive waterways mean trade and travel would resume there more easily than many places. Sure, there are rather too many militia idiots, but they’d give themselves scurvy and run out of ammo pretty fast, since none of them know more about survival beyond “shoot stuff”. I may have given this too much thought. Alternatively, I need to get going on that post-apocalyptic solar punk novel set in Detroit.
Most reasonable analysis, Calli.
That’s pretty convincing, Calli

OK, I.was expecting that to italicize. Oh, well.
It's morning. That's about what I've got.
It's morning. That's about what I've got.
If you drink more coffee it will automatically italicize.
I spent time this morning looking up characters from Loki on the Marvel wiki and now I think I've spoiled myself for the next eight MCU movies.
