It's grim down here today. Grey and mizzle about out there. Warmish though. Probably no ride today, we'll see.

I have a bee in my bonnet!

One of those free magazines arrived on Saturday. Usually the content is high quality, with articles about local businesses. This time, however, they chose to include a long "joke" about a person pretending to be drunk, whilst not being drunk. This attracts the attention of a Policeman. The breathalyser shows that he is not under the influence of alcohol. Then he admits that he is "the designated decoy". I presume that people who have been drinking are now driving off, while the Policeman is busy with the "decoy"

Is it me or is this not at all funny? There are many subjects for humour, but surely not, in my opinion, drivers under the influence of alcohol.

It is a small publication, so I spoke to the Editor this morning. She basically said that they include a joke each month, and they avoid anything vulgar or rascist, and that if I considered this "joke" offensive, that was my problem, not hers. What does the panel think?

I got the impression that her response was rehearsed, to cover lots of situations.

I drank far too much last night but today I'm feeling disconcertingly well, even serene by my standards. Strange how alcohol works sometimes.

I didn't exactly feel anxious this morning, but I had the fog of not-knowing-what-I'm-doing in the back of my head, and now I feel a bit drained. Hmmm.

My eldest's brother's best friend was killed in a drunk driving incident.

The drunk driver was my brother's son-in-law. I think my brother never spoke to his son-in-law again.
