   That actually seems rather appealing. Can I have the number for this tech support, please?

   For me, snow is “sky dandruff” until October, because I refuse to admit that it’s snow until then. After October, it can be snow. :-)

   I think the correct answer is “yes”. There are all sorts of ways to cook turkey that will make it taste amazing. It’s a very versatile bird.

   Maybe it’s like how as time passes, we remember the past more favorably. Which in other contexts, is usually a good thing. if we didn’t do that, who’d have a second kid, after all? :-D

   IKR? It was much more defensible the first time around. Now we have the lousy performance of his first term to compare with and people STILL voted for him. I guess folks have short memories.

   It’s amazing how many people came to the US involuntarily. My ancestor who arrived in the Americas in 1655 came from Scotland under a sentence of transportation. (Scottish Covenanter; his crime was fighting for King Charles I against Oliver Cromwell. Originally they were fighting with Cromwell against Charles, but switched sides when Charles agreed to allow the Scots to worship as Prebyterians and in their own language instead of using an Anglican prayer book.) He was sent first to Barbados, and after buying out his contract moved to Virginia. After the restoration of the monarchy he was able to move back to Scotland, where he died, but his son stayed in Virginia. The story gets pretty icky there — the ancestor in question became wealthy by earning bounties for killing natives, and got a large land grant, which he turned into a plantation, which mean yes, the family absolutely owned slaves. You don’t always turn up nice stuff when you dig into family history.

   Elsewhere, I read someone compare these cabinet picks to Caligula appointing his horse a consul.
