That could work. If I'm in transit I'll let you know when you call, but I think I should be stopped for the night by then. I hope to be, anyway.

That's my favorite Cat and Girl line ever. I have a badge declaring it, on my wall at work. (Yes, in a library.)

I prefer to embrace the power of and, and choose to believe that not only are people getting dumber, but they have an easier time of spreading their thoughts and actions around. T help other people get dumber, I suppose...

But that's just my opinion. :)
