You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

It's going to be a lot drier than you're used to, Sox, so prepare to chug water.

Absolutely. Noted.

but no maples and oak trees and I'll be able to breathe, whee! Well, except for the altitude, but I suspect it will be a pretty even swap.

Diana Nyad just fascinates me. She's talking about how even when she has the flu she can't help but work out. I get that.

Also, I find it a funny coincidence with her name and naiads, which of course are the greek water nymphs.

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

Headline o' the day?

Anal fireworks lead to lawsuit

Although perhaps it could be improved with a bad legal pun.

Link has a link to more info....

Helmburg claims - in a statement it would be difficult to deny - that "firing bottle rockets out of one's own anus constitutes an 'ultra-hazardous' activity," which exposes both defendants to strict liability.

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

dog is crated and not whining in the mudroom. WIN!

I do not have any of my W-2s to do taxes. NEITHER OF THE 2 COMPANIES I worked for are on time. I hates them. I wants my money back. (pretty sure I will get money back).

It is a 2.5 hour drive from ABQ, and maybe an hour from Santa Fe. Taos has an airport, but I have no idea what those fares are like. It's a beautiful drive, no matter. Also, June is NM's bloody hottest month, but it will be cooler at that elevation. And expect massive temp drops at night, so bring layers. The lack of humidity will make 100 there feel cooler, but you'll also misjudge that easily and dehydrate fast, so really watch that. Oh, and sunscreen. Do not forget it. I can get a burn in 15 minutes at anything over 6000 ft. And I grew up at 4000.

And by all that's holy, go outside at night and look up.

That reminds me, I need to check whether the bank has forgotten to send a 1099 for my Christmas club account, or if the interest was so miniscule they're not required to report it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got a 1099 from ING for $43 of interest, so....

Ugh. I did all my taxes and e-filed them two days ago....and got one 1099 for miscellaneous income that I had COMPLETELY forgotten about today. GRRR. What do I do now??
