You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Thank you, peeps!

Holy shit -- DH and I were just talking, and I said I wanted to continue the tradition of going to my favorite local diner for b-day dinner on my actual b-day (there are a couple of capital B birthday dinners this weekend, so... chill is the goal for today) -- not an hour later I see an article saying that the diner and the couple of bakeries and such they own are being sued by the feds for $20M in back taxes. How... what... how do you DO that? This is a dude my DH will have the occasional drink with at a local dive. Like, I know him. We chat. Holy shit. That is ROUGH.

$20M in taxes?? That’s so much money!!!

Somehow I am STILL slightly sore from Saturdays vaccines, though no longer sore enough that I’m feeling it and annoyed constantly. Hoping it means I am going to be Very Protected.

I also used AI on my annual eval but not sure how to best make it make me sound amazing when I barely remember the things I did.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe its just the Jersey in me, but my head went "Oh, they're mobbed up and were laundering money."

I know! Crazy.

Trudy, right? But, like... badly? (I have no idea how laundering money works, honestly.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's wild, JenP!
