So are all newspeople starting to call this "7/7" or just WNYC?
[Eta that I just realized my brother-in-law was in DC on 9/11, in Madrid on 3/11, and is in London now. Remind me never to travel with him.]
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The building management announced it. There will probably be hundreds of heavily-armed SWAT officers right out front of our building.

msbelle! I was just about to e-mail you! I picked up your package, and I loved it! The picture frame is perfect (I have to think of a picture for it now!), I can't wait to try each one of the chocolates (and I'm so keeping the wrappings, because of the NYC pictures), the notes are lovely (I know there's a magnet, but I'm still going to attach one already to the present for my cousin's son's brit, next week!), and the bubblewrap inside? totally with a shade of pink.
Thank you! Exclamation points!

so I’ll probably drive by on my way home to see if they’ve done anything.
You realize, you are going to go INSANE. Happily, but you will. Our orginal across-the-street neighbors used to stop by about every day when their house was being built. The guy said (when it was done) it was all he could do to not grab a hammer and try to speed things up. He said he'd never been so interested in watching paint dry in his life.
Congratulations!

I didn't even check for a kosher symbol, because I knew I didn't have to. I was too busy looking at the pictures and squeeing "I was there! And there! And there!".
Good to know teh time delay on packages to you, youknow, for future goodies.
The post office claimed that they sent me a first notice on the package, on time. However, I didn't get it - the one I did get was apparently the second notice. So, it was here and time and just sitting in the post office waiting for me for a week, all alone, poor package.

Oh, this reminds me of a funny. A local Reserves/ROTC training center is across the street. Behind work is a huge ravine/park/woodlands. So, naturally, they use it for training thingies.
Well, they FINALLY figured out it would be wise to notify the local community and businesses after the police fielded a bunch of freaking out calls about people in camo skulking around in the ravine with hugeass guns. The local police knew the exercises were going on so there weren't any disasters but sheesh.
It is sorta funny to look out the window and see them skulking in the bushes. I do have to refrain from calling out "Yooohooo! I seeee you!"
It's very tempting.
