Driving

I managed my first commute without stalling out yesterday. Woohoo! Amazingly, the whole time I was giving someone a ride, I did reasonably well, even with the added distractions of conversation plus radio. Most pleasing. Of course, a tiny stall this morning to keep me from getting too puffed.

Much car discussion at the Diesel yesterday. I hadn't realized just how many ways MA is screwy about car things (expired registration on a parked car is a moving violation?!), having not had experience with other states' car beaurocracies.

Good to see so many people at the Diesel, btw. It feels like a while since I've been there when lots and lots of people I like to chat with have been there. And hot chai after a cold walk was nice. Not to mention seeing some awesome photos ZZBottom took (that class sounds interesting).

Herd shot 'round the world

hopefully not the start of a revolution.

Yes, an airplane full of cows went from Seattle to China (article here.).

WWJD?

Deliberate mishearing of "cheese and crackers" as "Jesus crackers" got me thinking of how one should eat them (a la animal crackers). Hands and feet, then head, to get all the stigmata out of the way first? Feet to head? Head to feet? (What would this say about one's faith? Would there be theological arguments of the proper way to do this?)
Depending on the shape, might be hard to eat left to right (I'd think having him outstretched would mean a lot of broken-off cookie arms in the box (Ooh, what sort of packaging? So many possibilities...); eat the arms first? Save them for last, as relics?).
