A reminder to folks who were here before the new crowd: let them find their training wheel pace.

A reminder to the folks who just arrived: it's a new place. Wipe your feet and leave the old crap behind.

Having worked there, none of this surprises me.

Melancholy lunch today. Not because it's a PB&J sandwich, or that I've added Doritos, but because of what I'm serving it on.

I used to use these plates to feed my cat on.

Missing her today.

Two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (one with a bite taken out of it) and a handful of Doritos chips on a plate, sitting on a red blanket background.

G'nite, folks. I'm going to web detox tomorrow, so happy Halloween.

*sigh*.

Remember, GenX folks, we're the group who had Breakfast Club, Twisted Sister, and the Sex Pistols.

We're not always going to go along to get along. Friend of mine once put it: "only dead fish go with the flow."

So, are you a dead fish? Or are you gonna do something about it?

I haven't seen the video. But I automatically assumed he was in the wrong because of his choice of garments. He wanted a fight. He wanted to provoke. The sh!th33l knew what he was doing.

Reposting with Alt-text:

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after.

And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.

Saw this & thought I'd repost

Meanwhile San Francisco, New Orleans, Chicago, and New York have made their rail public transportation sexy and tourist traps. (Not quite sure how they pulled off all three.)

It can be done.
We have the technology. We can rebuild it. Better, faster, stronger.
