“Finally!”

TMC is traveling and I suppose I could get away with including Sam’s modifier but as she points out I can work better than blue and I have family who, while I know they have heard language like that before, I’d just as soon be able to plausibly deny they learned it from watching me though I am reliably informed by the Internet (I just love Facebook/Buzzfeed Quizzes) that I swear like a 20 year-old who just discovered an unabridged dictionary.

At least I’m not still obsessed by Ally Camillo’s cup size (and it was second grade Sam, by Junior High Civics I was plowing down Sweet-Tarts and napping because I didn’t schedule a Lunch Period and was doing 2-a-days with my swim team. What’s better than swimming 10 miles? Doing it again at 5 o’clock in the morning!).

Of course I could have been spending my teens accomplishing something important like Malala and Greta.

Anyway, my point is even dozing in the sunny seats with my partner in crime who also read ahead and would answer any economics question (What kind of Economics? Anyone? Anyone? Voodoo Economics) if I was too deeply REMed to bestir myself, at least I was able to pull out my laminated copy of the Constitution (Yeah, I was into Bow Ties before the were cool too, get over it) and point out exactly how my teacher had just contradicted the plain text. Indeed that is my main quarrel with politicians, reality denial.

Maine Weatherstick- If it’s wet it’s rainy. If you can see a shadow it’s sunny. If you can’t see anything it’s either dark or foggy or both. If it’s bending back and forth it’s windy, you should be aware of this if you are thwarted easily by umbrellas.
