"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

so I just threw the fucking A/C in the window

For just a moment, I read this as "OUT the window," and completely agreed with the frustration, but thought it was a little extreme.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! I would never throw it out the window! That's the whole thing I'm trying to avoid here.

I have no book. This is akin to going past your due date, when expecting. Tomorrow, I get book.

In the meantime, people are still crazy:

Man disguised as tree robs bank
July 8, 2007

MANCHESTER, N.H. --A weekend bank robbery involved multiple branches -- of the leafy variety.

According to police, a man with tree branches duct-taped to his head and torso walked into a Citizens Bank just as it opened Saturday morning and demanded cash from a teller. Police said the disguise was the most bizarre they'd ever seen.

"He really went out on a limb," Sgt. Ernie Goodno said Sunday.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, just for that I hope they don't catch him.

They did, but I kinda love the cop for saying that.

Always Anti-fascist!

That cop's life is not gonna be easy, either. I suspect some kind of forest ranger nickname in his future.

Maybe. Although the ultimate cop moniker belongs to a retired LAPD detective nicknamed "Jigsaw" because not long after he joined the detective squad he found and identified a woman from...the pieces. In 1948. The old guys still call him that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dana, you know I'd take his side in the argument...

That was some tennis. Exciting enough watching from a distance on time delay. Some tennis.

I'm 40. I'm too old to even try to be a cop now, aren't I?
