JPL is going to have a big dorky spacecraft robot float in the Rose Parade this year. And you can watch live robot-cam feed during the parade. Here's a link to a pdf parade graphic from the LA Times

I love the Rose Parade - the floats are such crazy works of engineering, art, and complete lunacy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lori's being honoured!

What is even happening?

libkitty, did you get to meet any of the Seattleistas?

I had to skim USA Today, because the reports were everywhere, and making my eyes prickle. I'm so unprepared to think hard on disasters of such scale.

Yeah. I can't even comprehend the scale. People are posting about stadiums full, and super-stadiums full, and every time I see the number, it's larger, and sure to double once the disease sets in. It hurts my heart, and I can't do anything but send a pittance. It feels so wrong to know so many people are suffering, and mourning, and just sit here.

for the complete lunacy part?

In the time off pissing contest, I'm trying to keep my mouth shut because I'll be back at work for 2 weeks and then off again. Until early March.

10:00 is perfect, Lee.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I didn't, Cindy. I got in late at night, and had to be at the airport at about 8:30 the next morning, so it didn't seem worthwhile. But I have to go through Seattle whenever I head south, so hopefully it will work out some other time.

I didn't know it was possible to kinda love and kinda hate someone so much simultaneously.

libkitty, have a blast on your trip! I booked myself a hotel in NYC for a night on my birthday, and I am already excited about luxuriating in it. I plan on ordering room service for breakfast and possibly will leave my towels lying wily nily around the room. You know, if I'm feeling daring.

Creepy robots.

I need one of those robots, but just for eating mosquitos.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Kat, I was wondering why I had a longer break than you did. That just didn't seem right. Now it all makes sense.

How's Ruby?
