    FFS. I once went to lunch with a coworker who ordered soup and sandwich combo, then made a fuss because he only got half a sandwich. I just wanted to crawl under the table and out the door so no one would see me with him.

    I remember my Dad meeting a work colleague of mine who lived in Bridgeport CT. When he mentioned that, my Dad said “I spent VJ Day in Bridgeport” and described what it was like. I got a real feel for how old he was on that day.

    I’ve never been to the Holocaust museum there. But I’ve been to Yad Vishem and toured Auschwitz and Birkenau. The latter was particularly impactful. Unlike Auschwitz, it’s not really a museum with exhibits. It’s just an empty camp. When I saw it, it was late in the day after all the tourist buses had left. Virtually all visitors come via bus from Krakow. I was with my Polish girlfriend at the time and we drove there. It was just us, no one else, walking through that camp. It was silent and eerie, and unchanged. It could have been the summer of 1945.

    People in my neighborhood have often used Bagster. It's like $30 for the bag and $125-150 for the pickup. Seems to hold a lot. I'm jealous of her urge to purge, it's a constant sticking point between my wife and me! Let's say she takes a while to realize something is not needed. Wait, why is she looking like that at me right now?

    To be clear, the judges are ruling on what the law says, so it makes logical sense. But maybe a law will come about out of this. @taiwan_girl I expect one of your infamous "2 years later" updates when that law goes into effect! 555
