    Ideas And Possibilities For 2018

    Nick Boles tweet from Sept. 1st: Looking thin, and speaking slightly disjointed. He says the cancer is gone, but I don't quite believe him. Treatment may be working though.

    Meh, half-assed reading will be my downfall. Though I guess the mother is more likely to die, but less obitable.

    Hurricane Irma Death Toll

    Yep, went far better than feared.

    Hurricane Irma Death Toll

    Yep, all good points. But I have a feeling something is going to go wrong. Plus, I expect disaster response to be comparatively bad.

    Life In Prison

    Gets visited by a reporter: http://www.wcvb.com/article/pedophile-priest-shanleys-new-home-bringing-scrutiny-to-sex-offender-housing/12184687 He apparently lives in some kind of sex offender hotspot and they've built their own community there, or something like that...

    Hmm, not the first time I forgot about that. Though at least The Dead Cow doesn't have her.

    Update on Catherine Nevin: https://www.thesun.ie/news/1497939/black-widow-catherine-nevin-is-granted-temporary-release-from-prison-as-she-continues-health-battle/ Granted temporary release, supposedly "on her last legs" accourding to one source. Though we've heard that before. Still, odds are moving rapidly in favor of the "drive for five".

    I think it would be "funny" (if funny is the right word) if she turned into the next dictator.

    Only Famous For Being Ill And Dying

    I'd been thinking she had days left since March. Symptomatic for my too-slow main team. But her and Bracknell might make The Love Boat player of the month. Connie Johnson fought cancer half her life. So maybe it shouldn't have been a surprise she lasted that long.

    He, Aaron Carter, was involved in heavy car crash that totaled his BMW: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/09/06/aaron-carter-says-hes-ok-after-terrible-car-crash.html He's ok, and wants to finish recording his first new album in 14 years within the year.

    Stairway To Heaven/ Highway To Hell

    German media says he was "found dead" in his flat. The way it is worded is usually codeword for suicide.

    Stairway To Heaven/ Highway To Hell

    Very sad. Damo Suzuki is still alive from the classic line-up.
