I think squishing the first thing in the morning is rarely good. I hope things dry out, Tom.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday, meara!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ION, how is it that I washed my hair and shaved my legs AND packed, and I'm still running early this morning? I guess it's good, since I have to leave work ASAP.

Happiest of birthdays Jen & meara!
I have to work 9-5 this Sunday and Monday. I volunteered because I'll be traveling in October . . . I hope. The DH and I spent 1.5 hours on the phone last night trying to make reservations only to have the agent tell us after it all, when we finally had the credit card out to pay that the system would not accept the reservations! (We were trying to get his ticket on miles, and all the flights had room for him, but apparently, one is not allowed a stopover in Krakow, which happens to be where we have to go.)

Re: Obama's statement about oil
Obama said in his speech that he wanted the US to be independent of MIDDLE EASTERN oil in 10 years. Not all foreign oil. I took note of this distinction when he made his statement in his speech last night because I thought that fine point was interesting.

That could doable. We get about half our oil from countries in the Western Hemisphere and 10 percent from Nigeria. [link] Some of those countries aren't exactly our friends, though.

Of course I spoke too soon -- both of my trains were slow, and then I was in a scary elevator that not only didn't stop, the door almost didn't open when we got back to 1. Another woman in there with me forced it open while we held onto "Door open." Yuck.
