So yes, the city electorate voted it down again, and by very large margins. 20% is nothing to sneeze at.
I’m not particularly interested in having a science argument about it. It makes my head hurt trying to read through, and I’ve done enough of it . The established health & medical authorities, whom I generally trust on publishing studies and such, are generally in favor of it....
right, well, I know I'm supposed to write...
Here’s what happened: I got shifted back to overnights and left no time to write anything for myself, including here. So I’ll work on fixing that.
But for now, everything else not-work-related feels all right. It is a profound sort of odd to go attend the going away party of your ex with your current SO’s blessing and apology for being unable to make it, but this is at least...

Don't even care.

Thanks. I’m under no illusions. Let’s put it this way: there are recent developments at the company that have me feeling as if the world is trying to make my future course of action very obvious.
So if the world...

Wing tip style but they have a stitching that looks more like cowboy boots.

MARRY HER
I think this is the second “wife that” moment I’ve had in six months together.
