Opel, you were a good turtle
Topping off a long week of ridiculous events: Our very old female Diamondback Terrapin, Opel, died Saturday in her sleep. She was a very casual, laid back old lady and will be missed.

32 was a crummy age to be, it's really been a bad year all the way around...not much good came from any of it.
here‘s to 33, may you suck so much less than 32!
Insane old man Donald Rumsfeld is unemployed!!!
it's 70F, sunny and the fundamentalist nut jobs have lost their power...
I'm not sure how this could be a better Wednesday at this point.
maybe if Rummy, Cheney, Bush I/II were hanging with this guy?

Looks like the Dems took the House and the Senate (Virgina and Montana slightly outstanding). Missouri voted for science for a change despite endless deceptive adds by fundamentalist whack jobs. My faith in American democracy is restored, ever so slightly.
It‘s unfortunate we had to go so far down the rabbit hole to get here, so I‘ll say only this:
come on guys, don't f*ck this up...

Hey man, what's the fax number?
A coworker asked me today, "what is our fax #?".
the conversation went something like this:
|
him: "hey man, what's our fax number?" me: "i don't know, it's written on the fax machine." him: "you can't just tell me?" me: "i don't know what it is off hand, if you're going to receive or send a fax chances are you're going to have to walk to the fax machine anyway." him: "thanks for nothing." |
Time to overturn some cars and light things on fire....
Oh wait...Detroit lost. There will be no burning things down and destroying cars.
It's not often i get excited about trivial things like this, but sports tends to have the ability to bring people together. People who normally wouldn't agree with each other, having vastly different economic circumstances, religious or political views, social and racial differences. I look at a conversation I overheard last year at work between an affluent white sales executive and a black janitor about the weekends NFL games. It made me smile at the time and still does. That's why we need things like sports in our lives. For just a little while, the city of Saint Louis is ONE, a city of people together.
I feel like a little kid today. C just laughed at me as I bounced around in the living room last night.
