Aaaaand after. I do not look like a squirrel.

I bet with the small mom and pop gas stations that used to exist.

I don't remember that part.

I look like the Tin Man's wife.

Gas lines ahoy?

Happy birthday to Gary Numan, and thanks for all the stories.

Nothing really to do with age at all.

Thanks!

- do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish

This Easter, choose compassion: adopt, don't shop! Every year around this time, rabbits are purchased on impulse as gifts for children, seen as seasonal accessories or living toys. But rabbits are not low-maintenance pets, and many of them are later surrendered to shelters or abandoned outdoors.

I was wide awake at 3:50 this morning, which is okay because it was really 4:50....
