The meth dealer in court this morning has found God. He gave out copies of his testimony, entitled "Notes on Jesus." Apparently left one on our counsel table.

I picked it up, saw "notes on Jesus," and thought it was an officer's notes on a Hispanic defendant.

I've been working too hard. :9f:

Being cynical - how long will Jesus be found once the trial is over and sentencing (if any) pronounced?

He is sentenced in February.

Otherwise, I guess we will look for his star in the East.

I'll give the pear sauce a try in the next few days.

I too am cynical, I'm not sure I buy the jailhouse conversion.

Pear sauce? Is there such a thing? I have a bunch of them from a holiday fruit basket and was wondering what to do with them. I'm not a fan of them in their current form.

That would be a yes. I am not a pear fan (I don't like the texture) but pear sauce sounds interesting.
We must be related. That's why I don't like pears. :9f:

Hmm, will he escape to Egypt with his family before then, in order to escape the wrath of the king?

Bought my new vehicle yesterday, a white 2015 Honda CR-V with a tan leather interior. Boris is buying my old car sometime within the next few weeks, and I wanted to get used to the new ride before driving to see the family for Christmas. Besides, the local dealership only had 2 EX-Ls on the lot: one with black interior, the other with tan leather. I was afraid one or both would sell if I waited. Turns out this was a wise move. Someone else came in wanting to buy the one with tan leather just after the salesman started the paperwork for my purchase! They took the one with black leather. I liked the black (it looked more dark gray to me), but I figured that would be a bad idea in Texas in the summer.

I pick up the new ride from the dealership in a couple of hours! :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue:

Congrats on the new car. Re: black leather interiors there are way too many vehicles for sale in this area with them. It may be okay if you always have covered parking.

As the Bunsen Burns

We had a visit from Corporate Guy earlier this week. He was here primarily to help the people downstairs (in the core, where I looked in to working) learn to use their instrument. They're using it for very elementary analyses. CG met with me, and also with Natasha and Pippi, to talk about data analysis. CG was trying to be very PC, but he is not happy with Road Runner at all. His company signed an agreement to work with RR with the understanding that MacGyver and I were also involved in the collaboration. Now neither of us are in the picture, and Natasha does nothing but argue with him about how to do things - she will not work with CG at all. Basically, he put his neck on the line and RR is making him look bad. He pretty much confirmed all of this when he went to supper with MacGyver, after he had imbibed a few alcoholic beverages. So, here's where things stand for RR. The arrogant ass downstairs won't let Road Runner's people use the instrument, which means she's scrambling to find options. She has pissed off the people at the instrument company by lying to them. Basically, they wanted us as a team, and they are left with the one person they really didn't want because she doesn't understand instrumentation or data analysis. She turned the data analysis over to people who will be gone in 6 months or less, and she is currently without anyone on the instrumentation side. Boris tries, but he is at the learning stage. Yeah, she's up :poo: creek.

I spoke with CG again yesterday to ask him some software-related questions. They led to suggested software improvements; my questions were related to capabilities not currently there that need to be. He told me I've gotten further on this analysis than anyone else in his region. Good thing I have a collaborator at Wash U with an instrument. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

If we ever replace our 2006 Ford Freestyle with 103K miles on it, the CR-V will be at or very near the top of the list. Sounds like a great choice.

Unc and Kentucky play at Noon today. Kentucky is minus 1 starter. This will be a big game for Carowhina. I am NOT pulling for either team. But those Wildcats look like a NBA team. Dadgummit

Pear sauce is on the stove. I probably used too much cinnamon. A mistake I often make. No matter what others will say, this making pear sauce is tough work. How can you tell? Look at all the posts I've made in the last 10 minutes. And when they suggest only a half cup of water, that is really all you need. I put a whole cup in and its way too liquid-y at the moment.

Thanks! It was a great choice. I test drove both the 14 and 15 models and ended up with the 15 because of all the improvements. It didn't win SUV of the year for nothing. The difference was pretty amazing. It's smoother and quieter than the previous models, and it has some great bells and whistles. After having it for a day, I don't think I'm going to miss the Accord. It was a great car for me, and it will be a great car for Boris.
