chris_gerribIt's Monday and raining here in Chicago. Rain's actually a good thing - I put down mulch yesterday, so a nice soaking will bed it down.
On the Sad Puppy front, Torgersen's gone full-wingnut and invoked the specter of 9/11. Sayth he: I remember in the wake of 9/11 there seemed to be two camps forming. The first camp devoted itself almost entirely to the question: What did we do to deserve this, and how can we say we’re sorry? The second camp asked: How can we bring the perpetrators to justice, and what can be done to stop them in the future?
Sayeth I: what planet are you on? If I were your CO, a "random" piss test for drugs would be in your future.
From Puppies to grills. I've been looking at a low-end Weber gas grill to replace my old Char-Broil. I was hoping they'd go on sale this weekend, but no dice. My inner cheapskate is asking are the Webers really $100 better than the comparable Char-Broils? I mean, my $200 Char-Broil served me well for over a decade.

I'm not quite sure what alternate reality he came from but it clearly had a much stronger "let's look at the actual history and see how we got here" contingent.
Regarding the grills, if the Weber is easier to use, and in particular easier to clean, than the Char-Broil, you may wind up blessing the money spent. If not, maybe not so much.
