Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Have dropped the DH off at the airport for his trip to Detroit. He gets to stay at the Ritz, hobnob with the other automotive journalists, eat a fancy dinner with Ford execs, and visit the crash test labs. Sometimes, the life of a writer is way cool.
Me, I'm at work in my freezing office.

How long is he in Detroit for? I'll wave to the East!
Two days. Wave away!
We went to a neighborhood christmas party yesterday, and met a lot of neighbors. We also found out we live one block from Walter Koenig. I have a Star Trek neighbor!

Ooh - that'd be fun. Maybe he could "help" the crash test folk. Like, shouldn't the crash tests be as realistic as possible? Maybe the cars should have bags of groceries in them. With things like long fluorescent light bulbs, bags of flour, big jars of pickled beets....

Well Leif went off to school this morning. It was a bit hard watching him take off in the bus. He's such a small little guy and he's skipping a grade so it makes him seem even smaller.
The best crash tests are the Saab moose crash tests.
Why do I picture Boris Badenov behind these tests?
eta: "Must crash moose and squirrel."
A moose bit my Saab once.
See, Boris was really just trying to protect our sisters from moose bites.
The squirrel thing probably came from some childhood trauma. His father was shot down by a flying squirrel in the war and ended up in a P.O.W. camp or something.
