I find myself in another government database.
In response lingering sinus-clogging crud I just stood at the counter for close to 15 minutes while the pharmacy tech registered me with the state and confirmed I could be trusted with a pack of generic pseudophedrine.
Let me assure you I accept this sort of thing cheerfully, secure in the knowledge that the two-year-old law has cleansed us of the meth scourge.

Notes from a shut-in
I must have seriously offended the Cosmic Deciders. Lord knows I try to be good. The list of repairs, improvement, mowing, preparations for winter, and general titivation of Camp J would do credit to a man half my age. So what thanks do I get? A case of flu-like crud whose demand for Kleenex requires a re-thinking of the month's budget.
Yesterday, at 2 p.m., I was exercising the chain saw and splitting maul on a pile of ash and elm, smugly congratulating myself for a good start on the 2011-2012 home heating needs. At 2:30 p.m.I was crapped out on the couch, the teevee on, moaning about a sandpaper throat, sinuses overloaded with weapons grade mucus, the bodily strength of a bunny, and a four-aspirin headache.
It's mildly better this morning, but I have a legal case against The Council of the Fates. Surely a proscription is written somewhere against imposing this sort of dysfunction during the most glorious week any October could could be expected to produce.

What if they gave a health care and nobody came?
Actually, they did.
The Central Planners appropriated $5 billion for this part of Obamacare -- insurance for the allegedly uninsurable -- but so few have signed up that they can't seem to spend it all. (But mark me down as one who believes They will find a way.)

Alert Alert Alert
The administration of His Obamaness is considering warning Americans to be vigilant when traveling in Europe.
Wonder if it is to be paired with a warning to be vigilant in Washington, D.C., or when visiting the President's homies down around 68th and Halstead?

And on the subject of danger in the streets, why are the media blacking out the Washington and Chicago blood baths in the wake of Heller and McDonald? Could it be that old Vast Right Wing Conspiracy again?
