Flashes of Panic

(But nonetheless worth posting, of course.)

Tom has noticed that the Sox are on fire and have a good chance of being in the playoffs, and raises the obvious question. My answer: what with the current state of the world today (which I will charitably characterize as “tense,”) not to mention various climatological issues down in the South…I think if the Sox make the Series, we should all seriously consider stockpiling canned food. Isn’t that one of the warning signs?

If I die at a young age of food poisoning, it will be because of an ingrained habit of licking the beaters clean when I’m done with the mixer. Thanks, Mom. (And thanks for telling me which cookbook the good banana bread recipe is in.)

I’m not sure which worries me more: RFC 1149 (the “Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol”, for those of you who won’t click on a link given only a TLA and a number) or the fact that it has been implemented.
