You’d think with all the home redecorating work going on these days she’d be too busy.

Definitely one, nearly the other. It definitely didn’t gradually release like they usually do!

I posted a pic upthread - the view of it from Sea Island is pretty amazing

A literal salvage title.

Yeah, I had heard all Kias and Hyundais but there are definitely some U.S. trucks in there.

He knows what he has.

Nah, It’s a few hundred yards offshore. It’s actually directly next to the Cloisters Golf Club on Sea Island, one of the most expensive resorts in the country (humblebrag, I was at a corporate event there last fall and saw this ship firsthand). The driving range:

Poor Sean Bean.  Yet another violent departure.

The U.S. government has proven to be very successful at supporting scientific research, and terrible at commercializing it. So the results of that research are licensed or sold to industry, funding yet more research while de-risking early stage investment by businesses on basic technologies that don’t work out.…

Dissident Gardens is what put me off of Letham.  I’d been gradually losing interest but that one is just plain boring.  Based on the description and reviews so far of this one I think I’ll be giving him another shot.

The Firm run (Trippelhorn edition) will always be my favorite. She’s just a scattered emotional mess running down the street and losing her shit and he still has to work like a madman to catch up.

For outdoor work in the Texas heat. There are probably cheaper knockoffs, but this will keep a beer cold for an hour in the sun. The rim of the can might get uncomfortably hot, bit it’s not the cuzzi’s fault. Biggest hazard is it’s heavy enough that you can’t tell your can is empty until a sip comes up dry.

Plus you’ll be saving yourself money by admitting how your car got so screwed up in the first place.  Saves on diagnostic time.

I broke a tire iron bouncing on it.  Head just split open.  Grrr.

Don’t eat paste. What are you, three?

Snack, bio break, quick nap. OK, back to the stabbing.
