I bought some sauces, including a pasta sauce that turned out to be too brackish for my tastes, and a bottle of three-buck Chuck
I could swear that just last year, on my many trips to CA, it was still two-buck Chuck. When did it go up, and why by fifty percent? I know, it’s only a buck, but still.

And speaking of Trader Joe’s, when are they going to start opening stores in south Florida? I’d think there’d be a huge market for them in Boca. I wonder if it has something to do with the state liquor regs? Looking at their site, it appears that the closest one is in Georgia.
For my entire career (going on thirty years now), I’ve seen the horrible adjective “detail.” As in “detail design.” Funny, I always thought it was a noun.
Why can’t these people use proper English, and call it a “detailed design”?
Was this ongoing atrocity on the language deliberate, and is there some rationale for it? Or is it an accident, a result of the fact that when someone says “give me a detailed design,” the two “d”s run together, and the engineers dutifully wrote down what they heard–“detail design”–and it’s become so embedded in the industry that it’s as impossible to remove as roaches in a Haitian kitchen (sorry, had trouble coming up with a PC simile there…)?
Why yes, as a matter of fact, I am going through an Orion schedule (which is apparently going to slip), line by (eye-crossing) line. Why do you ask?
If they’re going to deliberate into next week, that indicates that they’re hung, on at least one count. Unfortunately, for him to get off, they need to hang on them all (or hang or acquit on them all). And even then, he might face a retrial (though that would truly be a travesty).
Apparently, John Kerry is as pathetic at kicking @ss as he is at everything else.
And Tom Maguire reminds us that the record of the Clintons’ perfidy and assault on civil liberties wasn’t the only thing about which the media showed a strange incuriousity. Kerry’s true service record remains a mystery, and a suspicious one. As a commenter notes, there are two Americas: a Republican one in which the media reports missteps and prevarications of politicians (even when they didn’t actually occur), and a Democrat one in which they’re ignored or the press aids the spin and coverup.
Prior to the web, it would have been almost impossible to put together a collection of cats that look like Hitler. And just to keep it on topic, don’t miss kitlers in space.
‘Tis a wondrous age in which we are blessed to live.

I know, I shouldn’t let my mind wander down such dark paths, but will the ultimate result of this be these people getting their cats together to create a new goosestepping (but softly) and saluting breed? What would the ultimate kitler look like? Would personality traits be important, or merely physical resemblance? Perspiring minds want to know.
If anyone wonders why I refuse to call the Democrat Party the Democratic Party, here’s Exhibit A. And the name of the act (as is often the case in such things) is positively Orwellian.
