Puppy ponderings
Does anyone have experience with adopting from Yolo County SPCA?
As most of y'all know, T-Man has been aching for a dog for years -- and we're finally getting one.

I sent a follow-up e-mail on the 10th ( Read more... ) -

...somehow, I did not get a surplus letter.
I have verified that it is not a mail failure. Apparently four years as a State Monkey is long enough to save you from the warning of the caution of the threat of the possible axe. Who would have thought? Not me ( Read more... ) -

Why, Kurtz, why?!?
Am I the only one who found today's PVP really kinda squicky?
craymore pointed out that the same strip wouldn't have even prompted an eyebrow raise from me if it had appeared in Penny Arcade. And it's true.
