pm317 म्हणाले...: The whiny nurse could have been so much nicer and at the same time responsible -- she could have said she would not actively do anything that would harm the people in the community where she lives and that was quarantine enough. So today she went bike riding -- fine, as long as she keeps her distance from other people and keeps away from using any community property.

I think she is nutcase.; ३०/१०/१४, ६:४९ PM
Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: The real question: Has anyone been catcalling that nurse?; ३०/१०/१४, ७:४५ PM
chickelit म्हणाले...: In third grade, we learned about various Indian tribes in Social Studies. The curriculum included a take home art project in which we could make things like Indian artifacts, dioramas, clothing, etc. I chose to make a small birch bark canoe (probably also inspired by E.B. White's "Stuart Little"). Anyway, I made a small canoe using a piece of birch bark which a carefully removed from my mother's birch tree.

Man did I catch hell! I didn't know it wouldn't grow back.; ३०/१०/१४, ७:५५ PM

Reader comments don't indicate a problem, so I'll bite the bullet and just order another set.

Return is a hassle ("printer required" plus "find a UPS store").; ३०/१०/१४, ८:४२ PM
RecChief म्हणाले...: Mary Landrieu claims that she's losing because Louisiana voters are bigoted misogynists.

Yes. My return or not calculation is always, "Would I be willing to pay x to avoid doing y?"; ३०/१०/१४, ९:०७ PM
pm317 म्हणाले...: This is how rational (and decent) people behave:

“I’m California’s most experienced Ebola physician. I won’t take a single chance,” said Dr. Bucks in a New York Times interview. “My wife is away, my dog is away — there’s no downside to a little personal convenience, 3 weeks will pass.”

And then we have the nurse in Maine.

Maybe the misbehaving nurse quarantined herself there in West Africa which is why she is so sure she won't get infected. She is a Obama crony after all -- incompetent and all for show.; ३०/१०/१४, ९:०७ PM

Man, I wish Barbara Boxer were up for reelection next week. She'll be running again in 2016 in the upcoming "feminist surge" and hopefully losing. 20 years is too long.; ३०/१०/१४, ९:१० PM
pm317 म्हणाले...: Yeah, Landrieu went there. The situation must be dire and desperate.; ३०/१०/१४, ९:११ PM

Amazon Prime my good man. Rent for 2.99, buy for 9.99. Once you buy it, 'the cloud' will remember you own it, forever. I just added it to my watchlist.; ३०/१०/१४, ९:५१ PM

with black curtains
near the station"

In memory of/apologies to Jack Bruce.; ३१/१०/१४, १२:०२ AM
William म्हणाले...: There are two endings to Kind Hearts--the one approved by the Hays office and the English one. I was never sure which one I preferred. The outsider was self reliant, inventive and hard working. He deserved to prosper. The figures ahead of him in line of succession were self indulgent toffs and good riddance to them all......The triumph of morality in the Hays version was anything but a triumph of morality.; ३१/१०/१४, १२:३० AM

orange vs. blue

Diagonal vs. rectilinear
Color vs. monochrome
Foreground vs. background
Branched vs. linear; ३१/१०/१४, १२:३० AM

Seven stars and seven stones

Coconuss Network म्हणाले...: Chopping down an overgrown Cherry Tree next week, that's dangerously close to the house. The tree might not get replaced as we've considered building an attachment to the house on that plot of space. Birds got quite a feasting of the cherries. They left the pits for me to sweep. Happy birds, angry homeowner.; ३१/१०/१४, २:३६ AM

Charlie Baker looking good. Up over 4 in RCP average.; ३१/१०/१४, ७:५६ AM
Hagar म्हणाले...: The one sure thing that has come out of this ebola brouhaha is that this country has no plans, and certainly no programs in place, for how to deal with a real epidemic when the next one comes along.; ३१/१०/१४, ७:५७ AM

Chopping down an overgrown Cherry Tree next week

But think of the things like furniture, etc. that you could build with that tree.; ३१/१०/१४, ८:११ AM
Hagar म्हणाले...: Michael Barone has an article up about all the things the Democrats are not talking about before this election day.
How many more can you think of?; ३१/१०/१४, ८:५२ AM
