OR---the other day you expressed astonishment at the State of California trying to become a destination for "transgender transitioning." 

It should not be a surprise; California has been a major center of bodywork since the days of hot-rod customizer Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, the creator of the "Rat Fink" cartoons.   Chopping and channeling automotive bodies has been a major industry for years.  What could be more appropriate---now that California has been trying to quash its car culture with mandates concerning electric vehicles---than for this vibrant industry to attempt to move into a different custom-bodywork area, and re-purpose its chopping and channeling expertise?

I wonder if, in that spirit, Monogram will come out with a line of transgendered "chopped and dropped/ over-bored and blown" model kits so that kids at home can play at "affirmation."

One  CVS store near me is full of fuckups.

Second time I've had to go there to pick up a prescription for my wife. The good CVS doesn't stock it.

BOTH TIMES they filled it but mis-shelved the bag, and it takes them 10-20 minutes to find it.

I've complained to CVS, and if I have to go there a third time and they fuck up again, I will complain to the state.

They have one person who knows what is going on. When he said he'd find it, I knew he would, but he should be promoted to a store where he doesn't have extra work dealing with the others. Place is near a former amusement park, and it seems the inhabitants are still carnys.

To be fair to CVS as a whole, the more convenient store for me worked hard to find someplace near that stocked the prescription. I just wish it could go to them and not the one near the former amusement park.
