I think we have about a day and a half left to get everything cleared out of here; Elaine, Marty, Badur, and Clive helped us get a lot of it out yesterday. Today it's mostly garbage and stuff that has to go to other people's houses, and then Christmas is Mexico. Our flight doesn't even land in the US, so hopefully security won't be too unpleasant.

I'd also like to mention the rather hideous and quite possibly tasteless dress on the right. The girl who designed and wore it was kicked out of her school prom for it and its racist implications. As much as I'm far from down with racists, I'm not cool with this. Personally I think she should be allowed at prom even if she wants to wear a KKK dunce cap.

There's more coverage over at the American Constitution Society and various newspapers, but it's a case that has implications for young people with piercings and tattoos as well since it addresses where the edges of personal expression are. That said, she's being represented by white power lawyers, so this is probably not a case that I'll be quoting any time soon in my writing.
Anyway, I'm going to get cleaned up and back to work.
