Gotta get moving and take a quick out-and-back run to casino East. "Players Club" points expire at end of the month, so I want to keep them active. And... just like six months ago, I'll be stopping at "that bank" with "that supervisor" (attn: Atty). Let's hope for a better experience this time!!! (It's not up to ME, though.)

FYI: The bank stop has NOTHING to do with casino visit. Simply coincidence and on-the-way.

re: rings on laminate desk - PG/VG are alcohols, chances are that for the length of time of the exposure that some of the glue/binders used were leached/extracted by the PG/VG. Did the SoftScrub do anything?

Congressional leaders back $1 trillion spending bill - CNN.com

... The measure stops implementation of a new light-bulb standard which aimed to gradually replace many incandescent light bulbs. ...

... The deal requires that a $1 billion "Prevention and Public Health" account, which Republicans call a "slush fund," be used only for, well, prevention and public health. ...

Hmmm, growing up in central PA it was "youns"; but apparently this is actually Pittsburghese. Pretty sure none of my family came from the Pittsburgh area


ETA: youns is pronounced as yoons; with oo as in foot

ETAM: Shoulda read more of that Wiki

The language of the early Scots-Irish settlers had the greatest influence on the speech of southwestern and western Pennsylvania. This influence is reflected mainly in the retention of certain lexical items (cruds or cruddled milk (cottage cheese), hap (comforter), jag (to tease or annoy), jag around (to fool around or act foolishly), jagger (a thorn or burr), jagoff (an annoying or irritating person), neb/nebby/neb-nose (nosy), redd up (to clean), slippy (slippery), yinz/yunz/you’uns (second-person plural), "punctual" whenever and possibly "positive" anymore and reversed usage of leave and let, but also in the like, need, or want + past participle grammatical constructions i.e. 'the yard needs mowed' and the discourse marker '‘n’at," literally meaning "and that" (e.g. "The yard n'at needs mowed," meaning "the yard and surrounding areas need to be mowed.") According to a study based only on pronunciation, the dialect region of western Pennsylvania ranges north to Erie, Pennsylvania, west to Youngstown, Ohio, south to Clarksburg, West Virginia, and east to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (Labov, Ash and Boberg 2005), but different features may be differently distributed.
