Radon is just in the ground, right? It was a big deal when I lived in MN, but not so much elsewhere. I thought it was sort of like CO2, in that it could build up and poison you, but like Sparky said, easily dissipated.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.
'Safe'
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think radon has been more of a problem in recent years because houses are so well insulated now. In a poorly-insulated house, the radon can escape easier, but it tends to build up in a well-insulated house.
That, or the men in black are burying radon in the yards of people they have an... interest in....

Here's the EPA's radon links: [link]
Radon is in the ground. The fix is venting the basement/lowest level of the house. We were told this usually costs about $1000-2000 around here because they sometimes have to break up the slab to install a pipe or two.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Anyone have a special celebratory treat on Friday? or reward yourselves for making it to Friday by having some treat?
I always play CDs in my office, as I can't work without tunage. Friday afternoons, I break out my "Best of the Monkees" CD as well as Rhino's "Teen Idols of the 70s." Pop Heaven.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I finally got my cookie.

Oooh -- Rhino has a Teen Idols cd/set? I need to investigate us, because I am a definite latecomer to the great(cheesy)ness that is Bobby Sherman.

Normally I treat myself to Fish Fry at the cafeteria, but today I am having stomach "issues" and am reduced to mint tea and bread.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Friday is one of my days off ( I only work part time) but Friday is also the day that if I don't want to do anything, I don't.

I'm randomly getting off early today. Like 3 or 4 hours early.
