I love his stories about intelligent dogs. I cannot remember the name, but there was one about a man returning to his ancestral home after humanity had left the Earth for generations. The estate had been attended by the intelligent dogs all that time, who welcome the return of their long-awaited master.

He also lived to see Reconstruction get perverted into Jim Crow, but also saw the White supremacist Nazis rise and fall. Then, he would have watched the integration of the Armed Forces, and the beginnings of the Civil Rights movement. Truly a spectacle of the long arc of history bending toward justice.

“Way Station” had one of the most unique approaches to interstellar travel. Even more unique than the famous “Bloater Drive”!

This bit from “Paper Moon” immediately came to mind:

Many organs secrete hormones as a secondary function. The heart makes atrial natriuretic peptide: a hormone that regulates sodium levels in blood. The intestines also produce hormones related to energy and fat storage, while also affecting the brain in other ways (I am not really clear on this one, but it’s sort of…

That steam diverter is strange. I just put a 1-cup steel measuring cup over the vent, which works fine.

Actually, I saw a YouTube video about Italians and their attitudes toward each other, based on region. Sicilians are like this, Eastern are like that, etc. One was that Northern Italians are basically Swiss-German. They eat yogurt!

The Italian side of my family are all from the north . . .

I think the Japanese fold their papers that way.

That’s what Congress is saying. That is Nancy Pelosi’s position. None of this is a violation, all of it is permissible. These are the new rules, backed by the weight of precedent.

I’ll go through with the claim. I have signed now with Credit Karma, but I’ve had my credit reports frozen, per an earlier Lifehacker post, for a year or two. I listed Credit Karma as my monitoring service, but I don’t know if that will work, since I wasn’t signed with them at the time of my initial claim.

When you made your initial claim, you should have received a claim number.

“Slap on the wrist”?

“The Committee does not believe that U.S. taxpayer funds should be used to personally enrich President Trump, his family, and his companies,” Cummings wrote.

In the musical “Show Boat”, there is a famouse “miscegenation scene”, in which the show is going to be stopped, and the two lead actors arrested, for being in a mixed marriage (the actress is a “negress” who is pale enough to pass as white).

“Rich in our hearts” is a bit of a mantra taught in church. You know, when you give all that you have so your pastor can buy a third private jet, you don’t mind that you’re poor and he’s rich, because you are rich in your heart.

He’s not in prison for life because of a robbery. He’s in prison for murder. A killing occurred during the course of the robbery.

Did he lose that eye in a firearms accident?

In several states, “the hand of one is the hand of all”, in cases of murder. A guy let his roommate borrow his car, which was then involved in a robbery in which someone was killed. The car owner is now serving life for his peripheral involvement.

Indeed. He has the devil’s own strength, doesn’t he?
