Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Solar transit (or a solar outage, sometimes solar fade, sun outage, or sun fade) also occurs to communications satellites, which pass in front of the Sun for several minutes each day for several days straight for a period in the months around the equinoxes, the exact dates depending on where the satellite is in the sky relative to its earth station. Because the Sun also produces a great deal of microwave radiation in addition to sunlight, it overwhelms the microwave radio signals coming from the satellite's transponders. This enormous electromagnetic interference causes interruptions in fixed satellite services that use satellite dishes, including TV networks and radio networks, as well as VSAT and DBS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had a several-hours-long meeting with a former Olympian, and am now wiped out! The weekend can not start soon enough, as far as I'm concerned.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is the first year I've suffered from solar outages, if that is indeed what this is. Though, since my signal's been crap for a week, I don't think it's all of it.

I'm sure your "meeting" was exhausting.

I hope things aren't as bad as you fear. I wish you good luck.

Teppy's mention of garlic bread with the butter dripping made me think of the poorboy sandwiches at Merishka's in Joliet, with "garlic butterine" on the bread.

Now I'm drooling...

Now tagless for your comfort.

My fucking cholesterol is 244! My HDL (good)is 33--also very bad. I didn't think my diet was THAT bad. Guess was wrong.

Glucose was also slightly elevated (105).

I hate my body.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Good lord, it's like someone pulled the hand-brake on the clock this afternoon. I want to be home playing with the cat and drinking prosecco, not brainstorming on key words for the corporate website.
