The W

I should probably be posting more, and I should probably be posting at a regular hour -- my blood sugar was going low, so I just had a late snack and am monitoring it.  I should be monitoring gas prices better; I will eventually need a refill, and they are high (not that I drive much, but still).  I have to admit, not that I think the Donald is missing a beat, but he has certainly made a bollocks of this.  I would argue the issue is that he doesn't want to do the obvious solution, which is to bomb the shit out of them.  Now, that would cause all sorts of issues, but I think he missed the point that force is the only argument they get, and they certainly deserve it, so... like what LBJ said, the bitch of a war is destroying his presidency.  Oi.

So, tonight I met Ted from church and we dined at Habesha -- the Ethiopian restaurant in Kamm's Corners.  I had been there once, but he had not.. it was quite good, and we discussed much, also good.  The whole cuisine seems to encourage communal eating, and two is better than one...after I went to Common Grounds to get coffee -- I had not been in there in a while.  It seemed a lot cleaner now than in the high school days, but there were still the same mix of interesting people there (I was one myself!).  Yet another joyous jaunt down memory lane.

Tuesday was Pub Quiz, and Team XI pulled out the win at Saucy (we should go there more; the pizza is fairly good, we like the format and the quizmaster; just the parking and the whole schedule/adulting bit).  Odd -- some of the other, tougher teams were not there, and we pulled out to a big lead.  But, another team bet everything on both Daily Doubles and passed us, so we trailed narrowly going into final -- which was a triple stumper. But, we used Shore's Conjecture (for once) and thus won.  I feel a bit dirty but the W is the W.

 More than 247,000 Florida kids have lost food stamps
This could be me -- and this is NOT a blanket statement, obviously, but I would think that in a lot of cases, if you are on food stamps for a decade, the fault is on you.
