Speed demons

I would like to hit the Washington DC museums at some point, for 3 or 4 days. In a rapid change of thought process, I bring up that my friend H. is joining me in Indiana April  6--it's about a 7-hour drive from Asheville if she steps on it, which she shall, because underneath that calm strong yoga exterior there's a speed demon driver. I almost bought her a gift certificate to take a car around Sears Points Raceway. I can't remember why we decided against it. The goal this race will be to become speed demons in sorting through 60 years of goodies in the family manse.

My favorite subreddit, PhotoshopBattles, has a contest this week to literally interpret an idiom. I'm voting for Curiosity Killed the Cat.

Political Humor

Alameda County has a sense of humor--who knew? And our polling place for the primary is a block up the hill, in someone's garage.

Man reads out longest English word - takes 3 and a half hours...music to sleep by?
