Typo in the headline. We were in our <em>Bunker</em>, not <em>Bunk.</em>

In fairness to that sheriff, ISIS did once come to the aid of a Mexican coyote. And there was also the time they were involved in a massive Latin American cocaine smuggling operation. And the time they were part of a plot to kidnap the Pope and replaced him with Woodhouse. What do you mean, not *that* ISIS?

"Slave owners did it, therefore it's OK."

A peculiiar proposition. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with any chain of logic that leads to it.

Training session on Sunday Cally? Are you a contract content analysis for Bob Jones University and Texas Board of Education because what kind of Christian heathen organization keeps the breathern from learning from the Good Book on Sunday? I shall drink for your sins tonight from the book of Balcones Brimstone, a fine Texas Corn whiskey.

By saying Praise The Lord you are hereby exempt from your Sunday training session. See Hobby Lobby v. Everybody Else.

No city is <i>that</i> good.

Never ever "save" your work to a website - that's one rule I follow religiously. (And it takes a lot to get me to be religious about a thing.) Make it and save it locally, and then upload it.

I bet Kid Zoom could have told you this -- you should hire him as a consultant.

There's still Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs, so not to worry.

Frankly...

I forgot what comes after "frankly" because, frankly, I never listen to what anyone says after saying "frankly." Were you being less than frank before? Why stop lying now?

"...I could get behind."

Phrasing.

I image every night to an external HD. That's a no-brainer. And make hourly backups (Mac OS "Time Machine") to a different external. It's all automated, no effort required. The hard drives cost less than an hour of my time, so the investment is likewise a no-brainer -- and it paid off hugely when my main HD croaked about a year ago. Booted from the clone, ordered a replacement, and carried on without a hitch. Actual downtime was about 5 minutes.

Of course, replacing the HD in an iMac is a half-day PITA adventure -- all because Jobs was so f-ing anal-retentive about not having seams, screws, and slots messing up his works of industrial art. The man was a genius, but I'm glad I didn't have to work for him.
