Me, I go in for a check by the gastroenterologist next Friday morning; no reason to expect anything but an OK.
On another note altogether, Vermont Curry [Click] is a staple at our house.
Three side jobs just dropped in out of the blue so far this week... after I set aside for taxes, it will be time to set aside for our trip to Ontario and Quebec. (A military job would be welcome.) With so much lead time, I have plenty of opportunity to search for economical options. Not doing badly at all, so far.
Heavy rain with wind and thunder last night and until mid-morning. Five inches when the morning newspaper went to bed. Just a fine mist now. The predicted flooding did happen: Four suburbs are telling people to stay off the streets and Penny's doctor appointment was cancelled because he couldn't get to his office. We had a bit of water back up into our basement, but not enough to cause a problem.
o o glad you're safe, Bill. The flooding in the mid West made the News Hour tonight, specifically Chicago. I'll have to ask my friend Shirley if she and her husband are still going back to Minneapolis on the Twenty-fourth. Not sure I would, especially from AZ.
Alas, those to whom that is aimed aren't bright enough to get it.
I have wondered if pressure cookers are now to be banned.
On a not wholly unrelated subject: How do mandatory, universal background checks for fire arms purchases hurt honest, law-abiding citizens or honest, law-abiding gun dealers? And of course the perennial question: Why does any civilian need to own a military style assault weapon? Why do we even need to ask these questions? When and how did the NRA and other members of the gun lobby become so goddammed powerful? It's not only sickening, it's very frightening.
Car ~~ The answer to the first question is that it makes their transaction less convenient. I cannot come up with any reasonable answer to the last two questions, especially the second.
Rooted in Dean!
ReplyDeleteOh, great Ally news!

You ask excellent questions and make excellent points, Cat.

DeleteTexas, being one of the freer states, lets people have the freedom to build their homes around ammonium nitrate plants...
ReplyDeleteNope, never happened before [Click]
--Alan
Ah, but Alan, regulation is un-American. Haven't you heard?
DeleteAlan, I note that none of those ammonium nitrate disasters happened in the Northeast part of the United States.
