In fun election news:
SCHOOL BOARD:
DOVER, Pa.: Voters ousted eight GOP school board members who backed a controversial policy to introduce high school students to "intelligent design," replacing them with a slate of Democratic candidates opposed to the requirement, which critics said promoted a form of creationism.
Woohoo Dover, PA!

In other news, my apartment welcomed me home after a two day absence by dangling a black spider with what must have been a three inch legspan in front of my face as I sat at my computer. It escaped my attempts at swatting, though it can't be enjoying the Febreeze bath it got whilst retreating into a crevice. No idea where it is now, but if I wake up with it on me downstairs neighbor is going to have to live with the sewer backup my 30 minute scalding shower will cause.
Sumi, I wouldn't have pegged you for weather-nerdism. But you're sounding committed to your calling.
I'm thinking it's either an ethical issue or I'm overthinking things and being an idiot.
Allyson, you're overthinking. Would Tim even be doing the Expo were it not for you? Um...no.

So I'm not the only one who does this?
Though I tend to use Windex.
