So much easier to fix the physical than the mental. Le sigh.

Pastels
There's this concept in art called "painting with pastels"
I've recently discovered I now know the difference between "draw" and "paint" with them. I'm really enjoying the "painting".
My friend insists that the action goes with the media, so that's not possible.

Do you agree that you can paint with pastels?
Yes
No
WTF do I know about art?
Does it matter if the painting is pleasing to an audience?

You are in a foreign country with some friends..........they think it would be neat to try a restaurant that specializes in bugs because they think it is what the locals eat but you don't think it is, it is just a sales trick. You:

Go with them anyway because you want to be with them and what the heck a bug is just protein anyway;
Go with them just to watch;
Say thank you, but you are on your own for this one;
Please with them to go somewhere else because they might get sick;
OR
Make an excuse that you have a prior plan so as to be cooperative but just busy

For the first time since 1994, some sled dogs have tested positive for PEDs at this year’s Iditarod race. The drug was tramadol, an opioid painkiller. The dogs tested positive all came from one team. What should happen to the musher?

The NBA's new season started this week. Already, the Boston Celtics' Gordon Hayward (ankle) and the Brooklyn Nets' Jeremy Lin (knee) got horrific injuries that will likely keep them out the rest of the season.
