<\/p>\nYesterday, Virgil called and I was able to reassure him that I’m alive and also let him know I have no idea how long it is going to take to get repairs done. So that’s a relief. As much as I had it under control in that I did get stuff done, all that streaa wore me out. I may be sleeping more than usual for the next few days. Today’s short take are kind of “The Good, the Bad, and theUgly” – the first one is the good, the second is the bad – and the FFT is the ugly. Honestly – people! I was toying with another bad\/ugly article but it’s not verified yet so I’ll hold it for a bit.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – After I hung up I went downstairs to tell my husband. As I was showing him the number I accidentally hit redial. I hung up right away and I also assumed it was a switchboard type number. Next thing I know a call is coming in from the same number. I pick up and it\u2019s Jamie again! He said \u201cHi Crimycarny, I saw you just tried to call. Did you need something?\u201d I said no, that it was a mistake redial. He replied \u201cok, I just wanted to make sure. Well, you have my number if you need anything.\u201d

\nQuote – Look, we get it. He’s losing a war he was assured would take just a few days to win, and it’s day 158 of the Russian invasion, so obviously, he’s mad at some flowers. You can’t make this stuff up…. [T]here is no help for people like the self-entitled man driving with a diplomatic license plate, who got out of his car to kick some children’s flowers, then sped to safety behind the gates.
