I think we should all send Transportation Secretary Duffy slippers and some pajamas for Christmas.
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

They hurt. Too high and the arch is too far back.
Call tech support. "Well yes, we make them with the arch farther back and higher to correct your flat feet"
I don't want to correct my feet. It's how I'm built. I just want support.
Grrrrr

Now that Bowie is gone it feels like I never go outside.
We used to go for walks 4-5 times a day. When he was younger, 'cuz he loved to walk. Older, he needed to.
Anne & I have taken up what used to be his big afternoon walk as our walk time. It's good for us and helps fill the gap left behind.

I know the use of Arabic numerals might be concerning to some but have you stopped to consider the total infiltration of the higher maths with Greek letters for variables?
Beta, delta, gamma, theta, Epsilon, Pi, phi, and the like.
I smell conspiracy!
What were the ancient Grwwks up to? Hmmm?

Companies who fight hard to prevent unions obviously have an employee base that desperately need a union to represent them.
Employees who don't push for unionization are obviously being treated well by their employer.

When you plan is to climb onto the erg and row a good routine yet you spend the next period of time straightening up the office and delaying the row.
*sigh*
Means I really need to row but don't wanna.

As we're closing in on the end of November and thus the end of Hurricane Season, I breathe a sigh of relief.
We moved to Chicago but still owned our home in florida. All summer I was anxious that a storm would brew up.
But nothing. Phew!
And we close on the sale next week.
Double phew.

I'm a woman.
I'm supposed to like wearing panty hose or tights, right?
For one thing, I can't get them one without dislocating something.
And I always fell like I'm being squeezed.
How am I failing at this?

At the salon today refresh my color.
Many years I'd thought of coloring my hair. But didn't for one reason or other. Maybe it'd hurt my hair. Maybe I was being too outlandish. Maybe I shouldn't.
Couple of months ago I took the leap.
And I'm never looking back.
