That's awful. Dumb NY Senate.

I had a texting cuss off earlier. I used "goat fucker."
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's going on in Chicago:
Chicago canal to be poisoned to kill invasive carp
Tonight, federal and Illinois officials will begin poisoning a section of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in the hope of killing the invasive carp that may have moved north of an electric barrier designed to keep them out of Lake Michigan.
...
Should carp reach the lake, scientists fear the voracious fish could wipe out native species by hoarding available food sources.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They've got a similar issue in Northern California where non-native trout that were introduced into certain mountain lakes have been fucking up the ecosystem. So they're thinking about poisoning the trout. Kind of an ecological reset button, but "poisoning the lake" just doesn't sound good.

But still, "invasive carp" sounds more lame than "invasive trout."

Does anybody have SE driving experience (Ginger?) and can give me a sense of which is better? Google maps routes me to Chillicothe OH via Charlotte and Charleston WVa, and say it will take 10 hours (UGH). But from Cincinnati home it sends me via Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta, and says 8.5 hours. (It's 2 from Cinti to Chillicothe.) It kinda doesn't add up to me, somehow. Cursed mountains, and damn you Chillicothe OH for being in the middle of nowhere.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
flea, where are you coming from? What's on the other end of the trip from Ohio?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Once again I am under a cat. I don't really mind, as long as she isn't trying to eat my hair, or my buttons, or my earrings...
