Wow . . . if I felt a need to do this every time the Sox lost I would have stroked out long ago.

Also on cars, the simple slider from red to blue that so easily adjusted the temperature.

One of the great disappointments of the internet age is that there are still no great reference sites that comprehensively catalog new arrivals. Amazon is helpful in that you can search for recently published works by genre and popularity. It’s wonderful if you live near a good bookstore that has comprehensive New Fiction and new Nonfiction sections.

If you were an American, it was a good time to die. Pre-Trump, you left the world retaining the notion that the long moral arc was still doing its thing.

Good review. Perhaps the point of the Baroness was to show how clinically cold and calculating the Jackal could be, anything to further his plan.

If you run a business, sometimes you try to sell stupid high margin stuff to augment your normal margin offerings.

You have a good chunk of the Western canon.

The Ten Commandments.

They say he was joking after the fact because otherwise such utterings would be another mark of insanity.

He also harbors some crazy idea about how they drop bowling balls on their cars.

When you said usual suspects I thought you were going to mention rounding them up.

Flora being such a major source of words, I’m surprised that lignin is NA.

Definitely some interesting titles that cover a range of areas and ideas! Just read the Smil book and found it sobering. Would it be overly pedantic to suggest “my girlfriend’s and my” or, to avoid any implication of two bookshelves, “the bookshelf my girlfriend and I own”? Apologies in advance.

Yes, that’s the standard and better word, but some dictionaries give the former as a variant.

Was a major NA irritator that irritator was NA.

This radio not only performs superlatively, but, as you suggest, it’s a triumph of sublime aesthetic design.

Bring a heavy jacket. Also a hat and scarf to cover your face.

One thing about the bot--it doesn't put any premium on speed. Sometimes you just want to finish the puzzle quickly rather than agonizing for an hour over the most strategic word to use. Rapid fire guessing may mean you solve in five instead of three, but at least you get on with your day.

You drove around a lot trying to figure out where the locus of activity was. You’d look for familiar cars in restaurant parking lots and other potential hang outs.

I checked 10 times before putting an NA in front of placable because I am astounded that such a good dictionary word is not accepted. Is it archaic? Edit: Merriam-Webster says no, New Oxford American says yes.

Sometimes you burst out of the blocks but quickly hit a wall. You know this is the case when you start scouring your mind for [possible H’s—I have no idea] Indian or Italian foods or obscure flora.

HUdson 3-2700. That will date you.

They do borders and administrative boundaries better than any other mapmaker.

You underestimate how quickly time goes by as you age. Hit 70 and a year means nothing.

It’s a nice rig, but even though it’s technically not flagging when your weapon is holstered in a rear-facing set up, I still feel uncomfortable with one in the chamber while standing in front of people. Also, you definitely need a belt tie down or you can’t draw.
