Why is Beryllium as bad nasty metal?
It's very light and very strong. It's used in a lot of military equipment. But when it's ground down, the parts that can get into the lungs cause a horrible condition called Chronic Beryllium Disease. It basically makes your lungs stop functioning. It's a long, painful, drawn out death. But because it's used in making nuclear bombs and stuff, it's going to get used. The companies using it know it. The people grinding it know it.

Toledo Blade Expose on Beryllium.
There was one piece of equipment we worked on when I was in Spain, something to do with the Magnetic Anamoly Detection equipment that had beryllium in it. Which did leave a powder residue inside of the equipment. It was inside something you weren't ever supposed to be able to get into, but they still had some funky kit to use for just in case. In case of what, I dunno because you were screwed if the sucker broke open and you can't know that's going to happen before it does.
Oh, I fucking love Mike Piazza.
I need pictures of Kristin, ND and Meara post salon.
matt and I went for a walk at 630. we covered maybe 2 miles . we just got home. I love my neighborhood.
A's win! Kendall throws out the runner to end the game against the hated Angels. Yesssssssss.
So, David, do I call and ask for an appointment with Megan? Is that it?
Sorry, I know this shouldn't be a difficult thing, but... eh. Grownup stuff. I suck at it.

That's all there is to it. She's an excellent listener, and you should get the haircut you want.
No pictures of the haircuts yet. I'll see what I can do tomorrow. I do have red in my hair now. I also need to dye my goatee again before pictures happen.
I don't know if meara liked her cut, but I thought it looked sexy as hell. Wow. ND's red is extremely cute as well.
I am jonesing for a haircut to fix the sucktastic one I have. It's like two haircuts, neither of which make sense for my hair.
I have a feeling I'm going to be losing a lot of length, because even my awesome guy in VA needs something to work with.
Double emergencies last night - first the cruise ship accident and then some sort of gnarly injury on Mallory's leg. So while R (who is the civilian maritime officer) was on the phone making sure all the Americans were okay, I was trying to pin Mal to determine whether he had a burn or a bite or a rash or what.
I just can't get my head around Piazza on the A's. It's like I don't even know the team anymore. Chavez is pretty much the only player I recognize in the green and gold.
