I have to say, while the flavor of this beet-cucumber soup is fine, if delicate, I LOVE eating hot pink soup!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'd take a nap after that.
What I just said to the dog. Out loud and in public:
"Do not choke on this, because if I have to Heimlich you you will freak right the fuck out."
I'm not sure how much of that she got. But no choking!
ION, now that I've sunk all my money into car, it appears that BOTH dog and I have major dental surgery in our near future. Fuckity.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ugh. Six kids drown in the river in my hometown. One fell in, the six went in to help. The first kid is the only survivor.

Holy shit, Daisy. That's awful.

The whole city is pretty shaken over it. It's grown a lot, but it still feels pretty small [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I saw that on the news this morning. They couldn't swim. Yet they were in the river. Which apparently drops off from 3 feet to 28 feet in a hurry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gah! People! Stay away from the deep water if you can't swim! By which I don't (entirely) mean the putative rescuers--you risk your life for someone in jeopardy. Just...as recreation that's awfully dangerous.
Completely tritely, who's good chain pizza? Papa John's? Domino's? Pizza Hut? Migraine has me pretty unhungry, so it's hard to choose subjectively, but I really should have some easy food around. I used to just order PJ because they had the simplest online system, but that's probably moot now.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, God, how heartbreaking. I can't imagine the horror and grief those families, and the lone survivor, are going through.
As always, DON'T READ THE COMMENTS. Or, if you do, maybe you'll join me in taking up a collection to fly ita around the country to cockpunch some of the commenters.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Papa John's was the unofficial pizza of Rice, so I have a soft spot for them. (They do have a good online system, too.) And Pizza Hut is my family's favorite.
The Red River story is just awful. And the kids who died were two trios of siblings. God.
