I have two pesty little neighbor girls who have been a constant source of minor annoyance since their family moved to my neighborhood two years ago. They are nearly-feral, free-range children who know neither boundaries nor mores of acceptable socialized behavior.
They’ve been known to let themselves into my house unless I lock [...]

I read this post of Gwadzilla’s today, and it really resonated with me, because he describes almost exactly my philosophy and methodology of commuter-riding and road-sharing.

Plus, the new downtown library is just absolutely, [...]

A Very Naughty Girl by L. T. Meade and A Sweet Girl Graduate by the same author.

Rocked. I’m not going to spoiler this movie for anyone, I will just say that it was everything a family movie ought to be. Lots of adventure, excellent animation, cool fantastical inventions, lots of “wow-factor.” I actually felt myself burst into a big grin, and had to forceably restrain [...]

About which I bitched so vehemently last week. We took it to Vee Village today, and after 20 minutes of removing splash-shields and inspecting the ratiator and its environs thoroughly, they called me at the office to tell me that there’s not a goddamn thing wrong with the radiator, its mounting brackets, the heater [...]
