I got through yesterday no worse for the wear, and feel good, albeit tired, today.  However, since I\u2019ve been fasting since Midnight for my labs, I\u2019m hungry enough to eat a dawg<\/em>: a big one.  I\u2019m taking a PB&J, so I\u2019ll have a snack when I\u2019m done, unless that Sasquatch foot-flattens it so thin that I can\u2019t find it.  I\u2019ll finish this paragraph when I return.  I\u2019m back.  They got me right in and out,  Facing a two hour wait, before the beginning of my lift window, I called and cancelled that ride, and took the regular bus instead.  It went well.  I slept poorly last night, so I\u2019m gong to post this, reach up, and grab a Lona nap.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Upworthy<\/a>: <\/font>Samantha Bee spoke to one of the authors of one such law \u2014 Texas’ HB2 \u2014 which currently is being challenged at the Supreme Court. To hear him tell it, he’s just a sweet old guy who’s concerned for everyone’s safety. How considerate!<\/p>\n
