I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

This mild damage was awhile ago guys, I am sure I mentioned it here, I just couldn't deal with it at the time. But, yes, a no more water damage protection doohickey would be great. Twice in 12-14 months is really too much. Luckily I think I can do all the repair needed. Because, as noted, I am very handy.

Oh, Gud, they're adorable! She is such a big girl already (and a very pretty one, too), and he has just the right facial expression to match the mud on his knees. Thanks for posting the pictures!

Wow. My thoughts go out to the people of London. Hope everybody here and all their peeps are okay.

ita, thanks for sharing about your sister. I was worried.

I heard about all this London stuff when I woke up, and turned on the TiVo to catch all the morning programs I'd set to record, hoping to hear about Dancing with the Stars. It was a really unfortunate surprise to hear about the bombs, instead. I hope everyone ends up as safe as possible.

What she said. I hope the hurricane damage is minimal or non-existent as well.

And Villaraigosa continues to impress me as a politician. He made a point of riding the LA subway this morning, and reassuring passengers while there.

My sister has reported our first related "but for the grace of my alarm clock" story --

when I heard the time of the bombs (8:50AM london time), I thought, oh, all of my friends should be okay then, because they (and I) were never on time for work.

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

How safe was my sister? She found out about it, at work, from the internet.

Hey, you know Right Click Lick is shutting down, right?

I totally missed this! Why?

Maybach is the upscale division of Mercedes.

Um... did Mercedes need an upscale division? Isn't that kind of redundant?

All seven of them, right?

I should not be cute about other people's trains. A Green Line car derailed not far from here this morning. Luckily, after I was already at work. (I don't think anyone was hurt.)
