Betsy, that's awesome. We played with vortex flames in dork school (Mechanical Engineering 151: Advanced Heat Transfer) and they are so cool.

I have written off the first 4 labels as Not Working.
ARGH.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The helicopter finally went away and the news says that CTA just opened up the red line again. I'll bet Tommyrot ended up taking a bus home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm sorry for your stress, Kat. I have a kit with the stomper and it works pretty well.

aurelia - that's awful, but also fascinating that real cities-that-have-trains are so efficient at getting back on-line after such things.
Go me - I managed to postpone jury duty yet again, without having to lie horribly. I was originally summoned for Sep '04, postponed to next Monday, and am now not on-call until June 6th. Whew.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, aurelia, that's terrible.
Oy, kat, that's not terrible, but still a PITA.

It's okay. There's a way around this. The stomper works fine. It's the alignment of labels to be printed that are an ish.
sigh.

Jury duty needs better compensation, as far as I can tell. Who can afford to get picked, for instance, for the Michael Jackson jury?
I can't see how it wouldn't bankrupt the courts, but still. It seems weird.

Sadly, I think CTA has some experience in this sort of thing. Of course the elevated tracks keep other vehicles out of the way on most of the lines, so there isn't the danger of derailment.

You're not supposed to lose salary for jury duty, I thought?
