No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

We had lunch with some friends today, so that is the beginning of my weekend. Don't have anything else planned right now, but we usually manage at least a dinner with friends and often a movie.

But maybe we'll do something new and different. I've been pondering putt-putt and horseback riding lately.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I’m hoping it will be warm enough in the mornings to hit the pool, might be my last of the summer. Then Sat breakfast out and probably evening showing of Sinners that is back in theater here.

Sunday Probably a grocery trip, mowing front lawn, maybe reading.

I have offered my neighbor who is hoarder assistance cleaning out a room, but she usually decides not to.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Can everyone assert that we aren't in Mississippi? Or something?

It may be enough to stop allowing new registrations (looking at Section 4), which is something I had been wondering about anyway. I mean, when was our last legitimate new registration?

We've already stopped accepting new registrations, as far as I know.

Thrive to spite them

I just registered as Testing and then deleted the post

So new people can register.

I didn't read the full bill but does it say that any website that has a message forum would have to comply with the Mississippi law ?

That seems like a lot of websites would have to shut down or collect personal info

I think this is more informative on the topic

Huh, I know that Mississippi judge. He’s from the same group of college friends as my (former) friend that went to work for Orange Foolius the first time around. Good to see him siding with the Constitution I guess.

Where is everyone this morning? I’m at a dance convention all weekend

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I had a very Oakland day: bike ride in Chabot Park, facial at Piedmont Springs, lunch at Cato's, saunter on Piedmont Avenue, then an ice cream at the resurrected Loard's on MacArthur. (Black raspberry, the summer flavor of my youth in New England.)

Now I have napped and I need to do laundry because I'm traveling again this week for work. Ugh. Adulting is hard.
