Saturday? 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM for my every-other-weekend programming class. The rest of the time will be spent collapsifying most likely.

It may just be my day, but I am weeping with laughter in my office. I am worried that if anyone walks by they will think I am crying.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Like bordering on dangerous out of date.

Bordering on? I thought we crossed that line a while back.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We're heading to Indiana for the Bluffton Street Fair. Tis a big deal in DH's hometown and loads of fair type food. On sticks.

There's a lemon shake up out there with my name on it.

I have to say, I just love saying the word "Walloon".

Best Typo Evar.

Hope springs eternal that I can get someone to write me Something Wicked This Way Comes futurefic.

Oh my total god I could write you that.

A really big part of the problem is that the air traffic control system in the US is scarily out of date.

The company that is [bidding on|doing|hopes to do] the redesign of the ATC system is in Cambridge, and recruited employees with, among other things, ads in the T asking, "Ever try to redesign something from the ground up? While it's still working?"

I think the other problem with US flying is that it's a really big country, all controlled by one system. In France, you not only have fewer flights to fewer destinations of shorter distances, it's also a small enough country that if it's raining fit to beat the band in Lyons, it's probably raining in a bunch of the other cities of France too.

Whereas, in this country, a thunderstorm in Ohio causes a cascade-failure so that people in Florida get delayed, and it's like "Oh no, you are doing that just to fuck with me, right?"

I desperately need new glasses and remembered, hey, I actually have vision insurance and the place I go to is in network! I'm trying to figure out my face type and what frames would look best on me.

I am taking suggestions!
