   She’s just becoming one with her leopard ancestors.

   Back when I worked in a office, we had an AED. We had a training course, but the ones designed for civilian (not hospital) use are very straightforward. When you turn it on, a recorded voice tells you exactly what to do. So you just have to listen, answer its questions and do what it tells you.

   He’s a good kitty. He just can’t control his big mouth.

   I used to live in a neighborhood with lots of black walnut trees and squirrels in said trees. Those critters are really good at throwing the walnuts to the ground – usually to break them open on driveways and sidewalks – but they have also been known to hit pedestrians. And the roof of my car has several dents from them.

   With a trap door, you can run him over after he leaves the car.

   Is that an actual song?

   FWIW, my boss’s ringtone is Darth Vader’s march. I’ve been using it for at least 10 years. I don’t think he’s found out yet. :-)

   Reminds me of collection agencies. When I moved into my first apartment, I was constantly getting phone calls from bill collectors asking for someone I’ve never heard of at some other address. I would tell them to go away, but they refused until I threatened legal action against them.

   One, after telling them that he doesn’t have this phone number anymore, actually asked me if I had he current number. I responded with something like “Sorry, Verizon didn’t give me the personal history of everybody who previously had this number, maybe you can ask them.”

   That was me, too. I read an article in the paper (what we’d today call click-bait) talking all about the dangers of and all the nasty complications that can result from trench foot. Made me scared to walk anywhere that might result in water getting into my shoes.

   Of course, the article didn’t say that you can just dry your feet as soon as you come in from the rain.

   Is this the first time we’ve seen Steinbauer’s eyes?

    It’s not stupid – it’s how you deal with it.

    Dan Bongino puts it best. You don’t have to worry about “stupid stupid” people – those that are stupid and know it. They will seek advice and generally go along with it. You have to worry about the “smart stupid” people – those that are stupid but believe they know everything. They try to force their stupidity on everybody else and get angry and vindictive if anyone dares to point it out. (And no, this is not political – Dan refers to nearly everybody in government from both parties as “smart stupid” people).
