I see many of you are still too stunned to even comment "first." One guy apparently just had a seizure and commented, "HGOH{RU NQ{)UT_{U{)ON U NP(GIH." Another guy's all like "Aaaagggh!" like Mr. Book just psi-slammed him in Dark City.The only alteration I made to that quote is the title was reformatted to fit the Fungus style sheet. And Ace says that after he says, "I know you all are still reeling from this mind-ripping disclosure,..."
"HGOH{RU NQ{)UT_{U{)ON U NP(GIH" is, I believe, the appropriate reaction to the STUNNING news that MSNBC is in the tank for Obama. Who would have thought it?

Today's Critter report!
Critter is not especially long today, but he's getting under my desk and playing with the computer cords.
I think his mother was frightened by Simon's Cat:
...except that instead of pulling out the cords, he lays on the floor and licks my toes, or bats at them. I guess I ought to be glad that's all he does.

So I hit the garage like a flaming sack of crap. I had a scrap of 1" plywood, about a foot square, originally for placing under the cheap jack stands I no longer use, to protect the driveway; I secured it to the wall just inside the back door with drywall screws, then screwed the can crusher into the plywood with the screws that came with it.
Once that was done, the thing crushed cans handily. There's a bit of a problem with the feed mechanism, but I was able to run through four grocery sacks full of cans in about ten minutes without too much trouble. The most important thing is, it doesn't move and it's fixed to the wall securely.
This means that the next time I take cans to the recycler, I'll have one bag of crushed cans instead of four or five bags full of un-crushed. It'll be a bit easier to move. Heh.

I think I'm going to take the bike for a ride. I haven't ridden it for more than a week. WTF.
