Janet Reno, Madeline Albright, and that basilisk Hillary remain distressingly alive.

The creator of the Universe is starting to piss me off; he’s taking all the good ones and leaving us the dreck.

Probably means I’m gonna live forever. Must be the case, look at Acidman.

the post two or three down wasn’t enough, we’ve lost a sister-in-law. We’ll drive to the funeral thursday night and back on sunday. Decent person, too, too young, too bright, too many kids.

She’d had cancer and fought it, till the chemo and radiation left her sick, weak, and bald. The chemo wasn;’t working, apparently, so she decided to hell with it; I’ll spend my last days with my family without nausea and with my own hair, and in as much comfort as they can give me.

She leaves children old enough that they will be looking to her example in their own awakening adulthood, and she won’t be there. I know only those things I hear secondhand, but I know that nobody will celebrate her death.

She didn’t deserve to die, and the world is a colder place without her.

Woke up to a truck that wouldn’t unlock it’s driver’s door for all the tea, so i dismantled it and found the door latch irretrievably worn out, ended up driving it (door bungeed shut) to the dealership (thank God they were open) to get the replacement part (thank God they had one).

Stopped on my way home to get some new stainless screws to re-attach the door handle (no way I was gonna use the crappy poprivits) and found that a new Italian place has taken root next to the Sears.

They had a great selection of sandwiches and fresh food, and I bought a proscuitto, mortadella and genoa salami sandwich as well as some giant capers. I wanted some canoli but they were out. I got a little container of fresh baked ziti. I also bought one of these:

It’s a Moka expresso maker by Bialetti, and I’m drinking the first cup right now.

Good to be home.
