Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
because they were primarily going to do community relations work, not rescue.
Oh, good. That was what New Orleans needed.

What is even happening?

No, really?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Check it. A year ago, New Orleans was only on our radar to the extent of an F2F. Its population could fit into a borough of NYC, a district of Seattle (OK, a really BIG district of Seattle), or a town of G-LA. The whole thing would fit inside the Loops of Chicago or DC.
Call it, generously, 2% of the US.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
SKIPPED.
No Firefly for me yesterday, instead I lounged at home and watched tv.
Today, inspired by Jesse and Perkins' tales of selling stuff online, I have taken pictures of a whole bunch of stuff from my house. Hopefull I'll get it all listed online this week. Thrown away two trashcans full of other stuff that I cannot comprehend why I had around as it was all useles or broken or both.
Now I think for laundry.
Watched the reading of the names for the first time this year. Actually made it all the way through. Couldn't motivate to leave the house though.

Silence means security silence means approval
a district of Seattle (OK, a really BIG district of Seattle)
Uh, NOLA city itself is just short of 500,000. Or was.
Seattle city itself is north of 550,000 people.
Are you talking size? I think NOLA's area is about the same as what we call "north of the Ship Canal."

Dang! I knew someone would call me on this. My main point was that NOLA is small, compared to the rest of the States.
My main point was also something like "the system is fragile, if tipping-over 2% brings it to its knees."

It is Sunday. In the States, this means that if you are doing stuff on your computer that feels like "work", your life has gone horribly wrong.
I need to solicit an "Amen." If you have ever stared at a piece of code you wrote and gone: "What the frack does that mean?", give me an "Amen."

Amen.
I've also stared I words I wrote and said, "This makes no sense at all."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Gus, does it count if I stare at sentences I wrote and say, "What the frell is that?"
Amen. Testify.
