Weirdly, Weatherbug tells me that it is now about 3 degrees warmer than it was when I logged on about 5 hours ago.
T-Storm watch is only up for about another minute. We haven't had any storm activity here at all.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Woohoo Dover, PA!
Can we bus students from Kansas to there?
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.
Besides, how are we going to go out after and dish if you're not there?

Nothing quite says "Welcome Home!" like eight legs waving at you.

On the bright side I don't think it's a poisonous variety. But I could see its mandibles distinctly from six feet away after I jumped out of my chair.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Daily Kos update, as of 11:11 PDT on the California props. [Note: "No" votes are a big fat fuck you to Arnold]:
He's looking rather less popular these days. Has California tired of him? Have there been any recent opinion polls? Oh, and I understand his wife dodged supporting him on these votes.

Kristen, I skipped, but I hope you're better now and fainting-free.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

His numbers are way down. He made the mistake of trying to gain political leverage by slamming teachers and nurses. That didn't play at all. Plus, he's played the usual power-grab and fundraising whoredom. So he doesn't really look like the alternative to politics-as-usual that he promised.
Oh, and I understand his wife dodged supporting him on these votes.
Oh yeah. Maria was having none of it. Not that I like her much more, but she was not campaigning on these, and it was clear there had probably been A Talk on the matter.
