Had a lift in car yesterday, I was doing an acquaintance a favour, first time I'd been in a car for 1901 days.  :hmm:

It's odd that you keep track.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Being in a car, in a constrained route network, amongst traffic is an odd situation, so not hard to remember last time I was in one, and then work out when it was.

Our GDP per capita is higher than Slovenia's yet they are "rich" and we are "so poor".  :hmm:

Showcase Canada was having a Tom Cruise marathon this weekend.

I watched Jack Reacher & Oblivion. Both still hold up.

From 1978:



Not anymore it won't; the pre-Starbuck's world was a simpler, happier time.

(That and 50 cents etc. would have been the phrase at the time the strip was written.)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

A coworkers father just passed away.

I'm going to the memorial service - the whole team is going (probably about 7 or 8 of us). Is this normal? I don't know her so well--I've met her kids, but don't remember their names, I didn't know her father had cancer until 3 days before he died. As far as I know, no one has socialized with her outside of work.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I've never gone to the funeral of a coworkers relative.  Just signed the shitty group card.

A group of us went to a viewing, but I've never been to an actual funeral.

In high school a two grades of us went to a funeral for a classmates sister (his class and her class). It was a small school and we were bused down into the city. That seemed odd to me.
