‘Cross burning lowers blood pressure!’ San Francisco sergeant’s racist text messages throw 3,000 criminal cases into question • 2015 May 8 • Washington Post

OK, well, I haven't really done integrative biology in a long time, so I'm probably grossly misusing terminology.

I suppose if that’s all the medications accomplish, I’m still getting somewhere. For the first time in a long, long time, I actually believe that there’s a good chance that my life will get better. I’m actually looking forward to the future.

jozjozjoz is also blogging about the Griffith Park fire and points me to laughingsquid’s surreal pictures.

I’m enthralled by the ongoing drama about the fire in Griffith Park. It is apparently continuing to spread, now encompassing 300 acres, and forcing evacuations of residences.

So maybe it wasn’t as hot as I thought it was. The record high in San Diego for May 8th was 81°F in 1941. Today’s high was supposedly 86°F.

How is it that I did almost essentially nothing today, and yet by early evening I’m already exhausted?

I don't know how this popped into my head today…I have this weird recurring vision of a character riding a comet into the raging fires of the sun (the way that guy rides an atomic bomb in "Dr. Strangelove) and I'm trying to turn it into a story somehow.
