What's everyone up to right now?

At LAX.

I hate LAX.

Can't blame you.

Been through twice.  Hated it both times.

[Kitty Galore]

I like LAX, smells that being back bittersweet memories. But the walking to get through customs, baggage claim, recheck, security and all the shit sucks, especially if you are in a hurry.... my short stubby legs can only take so much. Dreamy is much taller than I am, so I'm on the run.

I'd love to go, just to soak up the international atmosphere. If I had a license, I'd enjoy flying a Cessna into LAX and taxi amongst the 747s, A380's, and whatever else there is. San Diego is a big city, but it's not a megacity. Not a "global city".

Watching my shows. The Walking Dead and Shameless.

I just evicted another drunk. I have the luck with these guys!

This guy was with me for a year, was an awesome tenant, then he hauls off and Hit/Run DUIs a dude, who follows him back to my house. When the cops show up, he resists arrest.

I come home from Birmingham tonight, and he's already drinking again. Got bonded last night at 2am, and he's already half tossed. He went off the rails so fast.

I'm taking him to the VA hospital for 90 day rehab tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Emergency Backup Cat #2 is back on the ottoman, asleep.

I've taken to giving him a poke every once in a while so he can demonstrate proof of life.

How is he meant to know that? I mean, has he read up on it, or taken a degree, or what?






(Ok, not a cat but illustrative.)

Well, after the cat looks inert (deceased) for a while, I poke him with my toe or his favorite little scratchy stick, and then he MOVES in response.

YEA !!!!

He actually moves in response to a stimulus !! 

 I don't have a dead cat lying on the ottoman !!!!

Still sick. Lost count of the days. My chest hurts when I breathe. I have the laptop sitting on my chest, because its heat helps my chest's discomfort. I'm coughing on and on, and this in an apartment where my neighbors can hear me unzip my pants. Poor neighbors. My cat is scratching my head for me. His name is Figaro. He's a jerk, except when I'm sick or sad. I guess he's not a jerk.   Heh! Anywho... gotta work tomorrow. I interview people all day for a living, but I have absolutely no voice. Let's see how that goes.

I took a nap this afternoon and had MORE dreams and the cats were in the other room.

Hypothesis disproven.

Oooh! She scienced the shit outta you, iggy!

Guys, that last statement is a fallacy.

Just because something happens for a reason, doesn't mean it can't also happen for other reasons.

Example:   let's say Santa claus (SC for short) likes a bowl of chilli con carne every now and again.
Now one can be forgiven for walking around smelling like a rat crawled up your bum and died up there.

That's a logical cause/effect scenario.
But it can also be logical if we discover that Santa has had this gift of magic wind since he was a youngster.

Now does this tell us that the chilli con carne was the exclusive cause of his flatulence? No.
But did it help inspire the salvos playing the trombone out his butt? Sure. It seems logical.…

That was my point! Now everyone can colectively pull my finger!
Rob, what's the technical name for that fallacy?
