Worth a click -As the American health care system continues to disintegrate, people are forced to make life choices that might otherwise seem foolish.
Little Red Riding Hood is skipping down the road when she sees a big bad wolf crouched down behind a log.
(Seriously: she has brain lesions for which she cannot get treatment. What the hell?)

Little Red Riding Hood is skipping down the road when she sees a big bad wolf crouched down behind a log.
“My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf.”
The wolf jumps up and runs away.
Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again and this time he is crouched behind a bush.
“My, what big ears you have, Mr. Wolf.”
Again the wolf jumps up and runs away.
About two miles down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again and this time he is crouched down behind a rock.
“My, what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf.”
With that the wolf jumps up and screams, “Will you knock it off, I’m trying to poop!”
If I were to have a headstone, I wouldn’t mind having this on it.
I’d like to go see The Awakening before it’s moved.
Nice night tonight – dinner in with the in-laws… BHK made hot dogs, mac & cheese, and some darn tasty sweet potato fries! nom nom nom.
I have a lot more energy today – I wonder if it’s the cooler weather?
EcoFluxx arrived! Funny thing is that it originated in Greenbelt, flew overseas to the UK, and then returned to us! It’s logged more air miles than I have in the last year or three. Thanks Eryx!!!

A quick peek of my office, taken with my phone’s camera this morning – not seen, the bright moon and Venus, first thing upon leaving the house this morning. Brilliant. Wave hi to DC!
Lunch of leftover Chinese food was almost as good as lunch of leftover BHK casserole… but not quite. Dang tasty, anyhow.
Strange… we had trick or treaters the day after Halloween, and were only too happy to give our crusty old candies that didn’t make the grade the night prior. I thought…

Strange… we had trick or treaters the day after Halloween, and were only too happy to give our crusty old candies that didn’t make the grade the night prior. I thought it was a fairly unique situation, but it seems that it’s not an isolated incident. Note – we gave cute little kids the good stuff – chocolate, and smarties for Daniel (as he’s lactose intolerant), but any teens that came by without costumes got nasty stale necco wafers and clove candies that we hadn’t eaten in about a year.
Side note… do I really have to link to what trick or treaters or Halloween is? I doubt it.
We don’t have much candy left at the house, but gals at work still have huge bowls set out. It’s a real challenge not to grab a kit-kat when it’s right in my flight path.
I wonder how old is the “right” age to stop trick or treating… I always figured the cutoff was age 12, but maybe that was just me.
BHK had a meeting with the city, and afterward, we met at Thursday’s with the in-laws for a late supper.
Zombie Picture taken on the metro a few days back… good ol’ Halloween.
Considering that a Ford Model-T got as good or better mileage than most of today’s U.S. automobiles, I guess it’s not suprising that Henry Ford was, according to this 1934 profile, well ahead of the game in biofuels and bioplastics:
Science is discovering means of transforming products of the farm into materials for manufacture. Through his experimental farms, Henry Ford now successfully converts the common soy bean into automobile parts and an oil which makes up 30 per cent of the Ford car finish.
Mr. Ford declares that this plastic industry, this evolution of industrial agriculture, still is in its infancy and that its possibilities and opportunities are limitless. As an example, he points out that his laboratories have produced from the soy bean a tough, hard, yet inexpensive material which stands a pressure of 9,000 pounds without breaking… Ford and his chemists envision the time when automobile bodies, houses, skyscrapers and even great monuments may be fabricated from the soy bean.
Then again: maybe biofuels aren’t such a good idea, anyway.

I was feeling particularly creaky this morning – got up an hour earlier than expected – So, BHK turned on the ol’ recorder, wand we checked out what was sitting on the magnetic circle, patiently waiting for us to view and delete.
The Soup ! Woo hoo!
Invader Zim Halloween Special… groovy!
Some werewolf thing… feeble, at best.. we watched for about 15 minutes, and then purged it.
And then, BHK found the shimmering diamond amongst my recordings of good eats and house…….

The Soup ! Woo hoo!
Invader Zim Halloween Special… groovy!
Some werewolf thing… feeble, at best.. we watched for about 15 minutes, and then purged it.
And then, BHK found the shimmering diamond amongst my recordings of good eats and house…. Namely, Legally Blonde, the Musical on MTV. I was surprised to discover that there’s an Internet Broadway Database, kin to the Internet Movie Database.
She near to squealed with joy! Clapping her hands and exclaiming hooray, we sat down to watch it… I enjoyed watching her watch the show, more than the show itself, which was entertaining… I liked the bit about the Sorority being the Greek chorus, and the animal training of her dog was well done, especially for a stage production.
It was 3 hours long, dear journal. Thank goodness for high-speed commercial skipping. Without the breaks, I’d guess it was more like 100 minutes.
After tube-time, we spent a few moments doing e-mail, and whatnot we realized that the kitties were three meals from consuming us in our sleep so it was off to the store to pick up food-type reinforcements for the boys.
Though we thought only to grab some kitty-kibble and dash, once inside, we were sidetracked by a few things… namely peppermint candy cane flavored Hershey’s kisses and the holiday display. By the time we got out, supper time was upon us and there was a chinese food joint across the street that I’d never tried. Problem solved.
We got home, laid out a picnic blanket in the living room, set down the food and watched our remaining Ugly Betty (more Broadway – Wicked, this time.) and a Ramsey’s kitchen Nightmares from the UK. while we folded laundry.
A downright pleasant day, all told.

Study Number 2: The Domesticated Housecat
Study Number 2: The Domesticated Housecat
A year ago a scene like this would have set me into a frenzy of photo-taking and calling the family to let them know “the boys” were on the same bed! ON THE SAME BED!
Today this is pretty much old hat. (It still makes me grab my camera out of maternal love and adoration.)
Here was the scene a little less than a year ago–the one where Scott and I practically popped open a bottle of champagne and celebrated. It was a cold day and the house was so chilly we were all bundled up. We…

Skipped the jacket on the commute to and from work today – 55-65F isn’t too bad with a long sleeved shirt. Once we hit 40, I’m all about the windbreaker and more.
Today is my momster’s 60th birthday. It’s funny… it seems like she should be both older and younger than that. I guess it averages out. My grandmother (her mom) just turned 85, and my bro just turned 35. 25 year split on them makes it easy for me to track the ages.
