Buffistas

Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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

... I was just reduced to googling "camel toe".

Back in '90 or so, I saw the Madison, WI band Camel Toe perform. I didn't find out what the term meant until several years later.

The show was fun. At one point the band took a break and heated up some baked beans on stage, then let the audience try some.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Man, do I feel old and fuddy-duddy.

Heh, that term has been around since at least the 1960s.

I think that means I'm mentally (or socially) 110.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Burrell, my sympathies to you and C and your family. May it be an easy and peaceful passing.

And, as it turns out, I'm asking the same thing, for my DH's grandmother. Following a couple of weeks of declining health, she apparently took a drastic turn for the worst last night. We're driving out to OKC tonight to be with her. (M was supposed to leave on Sunday for a month-long research trip in the UK and Ireland, but now that's all up in the air.)

It's not entirely unexpected, but until recently we had reason to hope she had a few more good years left. This is going to be really hard on M and his mom, following so closely after M's brother's death, which was less than a year ago. God, this family needs some happy news in the worst way.

Anyway, some ~ma for strength, peace, and clarity would be much appreciated. Thanks, y'all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

much ma to both your families, Kate and Burrell.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Be sure to check the road conditions before you leave. Last I heard there was a major detour off I-40 for a flooded section east of Little Rock, with lots of backed-up truck traffic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Kate. Best thoughts to all of you as well.
