I wonder how this campaign is doing in the Great Britain market.

Put that clairvoyant German octopus in a tank with a NATO flag and a Taliban flag. Any bets?

Big ups to MJF for helping me tighten up on the punchline.

Re: How to Fax GA

You can now fax to the GA fax machine (558-4104) by pressing “Coded Dial” and then 000 (those are zeros, folks)

Stressed

Last night, I barely made it off BART before movement in Oakland became impossible. We had planned to take Ray to the vet, but there weren't any cabs at 13th street. I called Al to beg a ride, but it turned out that the streets were so clogged that he couldn't get to our house. And we had no idea whether we'd be able to get home from the vet. So we rescheduled.

Note to cops: maybe the day of the riot, you could see to it that the staging area gets cleared of dumpsters filled with kindling? All night long there were big explosions coming from downtown.



BART was crawling with cops this morning. Mary had to restrain me from going up to them and administering a quick quiz: "Pronto, Officer! Which one's the taser? Which one's the gun? Could be important some day...."

In San Francisco, walking down 24th street, every firetruck and heavy rescue vehicle in the city came screeching past me and then deployed smackdab in my path a block ahead of me. I had to crawl over EMTs & firehoses to get to work.


Anybody know where there's a place where you can sell your cortisol? The stress bank? I could make a killing there.

So glad I don't live in Basra or Kandahar.

Ray's Protest Sign

Ray's Protest Sign, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

He's had just about enough getting stuff squirted into him here and there. Too bad. We're taking him back to the vet today for xrays and a psych intake. Has anybody noticed that this blog has become about my cats and nothing else, really? I guess I've turned into that guy. Cheez.

Still Missing Pearl

But aside from some blockage, Ray's doing ok. Thanks Mary, Cathy, Silka & Cheshire for stepping up and sorting that.
