If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

A note on flushable litter: check your local ecology. In our area we were asked to stop flushing cat waste, because it was spreading feline parasites to the local marine mammal population. (Who knew that sewage treatment was tuned to human pathogens?)

One ran newspapers in OH, FL, and WV, and died young from the stress.

The other was head of physical plant at GM in Pontiac, MI, gave most of the fingers on his right hand, and lived to 95.

Coincidentally, each bought and ran a farm on the side.

Both "had Irish tempers" and beat their sons.

I was too young for most of these - I was nine when the Wall came down - but this was the soundtrack of summers at the pool.

Why defleshed, though? Surely thinking (pulsating) meat would be more sacred to the singularitarians than envasculated calcium.
