"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

And have little blurbs of Tucson wisdom in between the horrible.

A week or two back, maybe three, one of the storms made a tornado-like occurence around my folks' neighborhood.  They're still patching up houses, and after the storm five of the houses hit worst were unsafe to enter.

So I'm cooking a goose for this game review/leak podcast I'm on a lot.  My question: is doing it on a grill a good idea?  I have a big old roasting pan if it needs to be off the rack, and I can also get coals or wood fuel for it.  Any ideas either way, you people who cook a lot?

Gooses are loaded with fat.  If you grill it, it will most likely be either a fireball or a sooty mess.  I would only grill it if you had a recipie that calls for it that you trust.

Would putting it in a roasting pan while it's on the grill help?

You need to keep it well above the flames, like on a spit. Because like you said, that grease drips off and has a pretty high flashpoint. But it is sooooo good if you can rig it.

Grills are really finicky. Is there a problem with the oven?

I'm going to see Dave Foley do stand-up tonight for free. Going with a waitress at the club he's playing, so strong possibility I'll get to hang out and meet the dude. I don't get star-struck that easily, but...I mean...HE'S CANADIAN!

Gah. I have this problem in every technology oriented class where the teacher isn't fully up to speed.

Question on a quiz:

SaaS (Software as a Service) uses clouded storage and is not downloaded onto your computer or mobile device (T/F).

ummm...true...mostly...but also not when there's a client or some such.

This particular teacher was making some pretty egregious errors in lecture, but I just bit my lip because it seemed inconsequential. Now, I'm having to answer questions trying to fill in the gaps with what I think her lack of expertise might be thinking.

Roasting goose is really only worth it for the fat and the carcass, IMO. Goose fat is one of the tastiest fats there is.

I gut stung by a mason bee today. It answered the age old question, am I really allergic to bees?

Yep. Turns out. Yep.

I am on a lot of drugs and will get an epi pen next time I go to the doctor.
