I did some mining of academian ore, but Lord Chaos held something else in store; I was vomited from a beast’s belly onto the shore. But this is no firmament. Where am I?

If I had endless money to spend, I’d have a tailor and everything would fit and be made of beautiful fabric. I agree, this is insane.

That didn’t seem a criticism of the USPS so much as a criticism of a poison pill Republican strategy of discrediting an important essential government agency.

Yeah, I rented one the last time I saw a baseball game in SF and, granted I don’t have any motorcycle experience, but the speed was quite scary for me. I definitely don’t trust cars enough to be doing that many mph around them.
