Wearing the Bib
At the dentist office. For a repeat of this, with added drill'n'fill plus bonus hard radiation zipping through my head. Waiting to pay my bill. They don't make novocaine for that extraction. Feh.

Katya Komisaruk
Delivering a talk on how to deal with confrontaions with the cops. Now repeat after me:
- "I'm not going to say anything. I'd like to see a lawyer." and

Katya, who is, among other things, a Santa Cruz criminal lawyer, says she will give a 50% reduction in fees to any client that has these phrases tattooed on a visible part of their body at the time of their arrest.
