News for the day

 
On the way into town today, I saw three dead deer by the roadside. I warned my wife to be careful driving tomorrow. Clearly they’re swarming; do they ever attack in packs? ’Cause I’m not buying the sweet-gentle-herbivore propaganda, those critters are massing for conquest.

When does Dexter come back? The quality has been visibly diminishing for some time now, but it’s still arresting enough to keep me interested. (Though they can’t drop the whole Deb’s-in-love-with-Dexter crapola fast enough to satisfy me.)

Didn’t do anything for Labor Day. I wish they’d change the name and dedicate it to something else, anyway. I don’t much care for unions, and government employee unions are an actual menace.

Out of beer. I miss it.

Grammar/language peeve of the day:
“hun”, used as an endearment. (for hon)

Hun:
1: a member of a nomadic central Asian people gaining control of a large part of central and eastern Europe under Attila about A.D. 450
2: a. often not capitalized – a person who is wantonly destructive; vandal
    b. usually disparaging – German; especially a German soldier

Hon: abbreviation for “honey” (endearment)

That’ll do it for now.
