Little more historical bit: What is the "railroad swing bridge"? Is that the thing you go over from West Ferry across Niagara to the park? Is the railroad bridge between Canada & US still in use?

I love biking the whole riverwalk in the summer. It is crazy speeding along, dodging dozens of people fishing violently. I sincerely hope no one is eating what they catch.

I was trying to figure out where all the marble chunks were down by the water. I mean I knew there was some near the old Times beach but that was a crazy amount. Then I realized it was ice, lol.

reading assignment quotes
Category: school

One of the persistent themes of English and American legal history is the continuous efforts of the rich to avoid taxes.



Dukeminier, Property p. 179


Jesus walked into a bar. He approached three sad-faced gentlemen at a table and greeted the first one: "What's troubling you, brother?" he said. "My eyes. I keep getting stronger and stronger glasses, and I still can't see." Jesus touched the man, who ran outside to tell the world about his now 20-20 vision. The next gentleman couldn't hear Jesus' question, so The Lord just touched his ears, restoring his hearing to perfection. This man, too, ran out the door, probably on the way to the audiologist to get a hearing-aid refund. The third man leapt from from his chiar and backed up against the wall, even before Jesus could greet him. "Don't you come near me, man! Don't touch me!" he screamed. "I'm on disability."



Marc Galanter, 50 DePaul L. Rev. 647, 659. Originally from Theodore Ernst, Laughter 43 (1925) A whole article of lawyer and malingerer jokes.

Dinner tonight - refried bean enchiladas.

I always wonder if some people are happily disabled.

Ask Janelle about her client who gave away a winning lottery ticket, so you wouldn't lose a social security benefit.

I was surprised by the original publication date - 1925.

Hahaha... Thanks for cheering me up with that! That is so cynically true. Heh

Cous cous
Category: food
image

I'm loving (e:tinypliny)'s dinners, virtually unfortunately. I thought I'd share mine.

1 c. water
1 T. butter
1 t. veggie base/bouillon
4 scoops of cous cous in a can
1/4 c. raisins (estimate)
2 T. sunflower seeds (estimate)
2 T. fresh cilantro, chopped

Boil water, butter, veggie base. Remove from heat. Stir in cous cous, raisins and sunflower seeds. Let sit for 7 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Salt if necessary.

Quick & easy! Not really a meal, but a good start of one.

Now that's what I call an awesome fast-food recipe! Add some chopped carrots and you are set with a nice veggie serving. :)
