One of the reasons I, Robot reads quickly is that it is really a series of short stories, instead of a novel. So you have a series of short episodes, instead of one novel with one major plot line. I...

I would go with that 56" one for both cats to start with. If one cat becomes territorial over it, then I'd get a second one--if the second cat seems to want one. I've had at least one cat who...
I struggle to see what is so disrespectful about kneeling instead of standing for the national anthem. From the first time a player knelt for the anthem, I was impressed with the action.
Kneeling...
Rob, I consider myself a feminist. And I think men should have the due process of law. As should women.
Which is probably a large part of why I think calling the police instead of campus security...
I have one in my car. But it is to supplement the wool army blanket, poncho, the fleece jacket and windbreaker, wool socks and hat and gloves and scarf, and the polyfill "car travel blanket" that...
What I don't understand is why the universities investigate on-campus sexual assault at all. Why aren't the police doing this?
If I were assaulted, I would not want inexperienced people who have...
Oh, I know that. But not everyone does. I have some bottled water for drinking in an emergency, and then fill up the bathtub and all the pots and pans with water--the bathtub for flushing the toilet...
Well, they might not have any bottles. The only bottles in my house are the big jugs of water I buy at the supermarket, specifically for the emergency kit. I drink tap water all the time.
My...
Just off the top of my head, in no particular order:
1. Could you add a second project, so that people can choose one or the other? The twiddle cuff is for a pretty specific audience, and while...
Most introverts interact with other people on a day-to-day basis, speaking as a pretty strong introvert. Sure, I do really enjoy the rare day when I can stay home and not even have to talk to anyone...
Have a box or two of important stuff that travels in the car with you. Toilet paper, hand soap, light bulbs, cleaning supplies, snacks, sheets and towels, change of clothes, food for the first two...
I hope you have hot water by now, but if you don't, check your state regulations for landlords. In many states, landlords are required to provide hot water, or the means for heating water, and if...
Over the weekend, it grew 8 inches of snow. It's just about time to start seedlings indoors, ready to plant some time in May.
I don't think Trump feels the US has any allies. To him, we have enemies, and countries which have not yet been proven to be enemies.
He is not a diplomat. His need to always win, plus his need...
There are still programs to provide low-cost smartphones to people receiving state aid. At least in my state. If you are getting any kind of state aid, you can get a free, refurbished smartphone (not...
FMLA can also be taken in small bits and pieces. An afternoon here to take someone to the doctor's. Or if you suffer from migraines, for example, you can take a day or two off when one strikes. It...
Well, part of that complaining was that Trump had said he would not vacation as president. And apparently he played some golf. In the past, he had criticized Obama for playing golf while he was...
I am aware that Supreme Court justices are appointed for life. I did not mention them in my post.
I was commenting about Trump's cronies/staff *in the White House,* many of whom, such as members...
This. I've been wondering what will happen when, as it inevitably must happen, one of Trump's cronies in the White House disagrees with him.
It's not that easy to just fire someone from a...
I could have written this, although my journalism courses were 30 years ago.
It's like watching a natural disaster as it happens, and not being able to stop the avalanche or the flood waters or...
My take is that he will chafe eventually at the restrictions that come with being president--the security, the lack of freedom of movement.
If he were to be impeached, it could be for the...
I just wish that instead of remembering a phone number from the house l lived in in 1972, my brain could remember what my boss asked me to do this morning. My poor brain is stuffed with trivia to the...
There are a lot of complicating factors with drug pricing. Note: this is not a excuse for the really high prices for very necessary drugs that some companies are charging.
First--the cost of...
The way he is acting, I think he wants to go to war. With whom, I have no idea. And probably neither does he.
But the angry, violent language he uses. The desire for tanks and other military...
Well, let us remember that an object at rest tends to remain at rest.
I've worked a few short-term government jobs. People complained all the time. But they also appreciated the pension plan and...
