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.
Hubby called contractor who said they had guys in the neighborhood who would call me before they came over to look at our ceiling leak. This was six hours ago.
It's a beautiful day and the kids and I could be at the park but we can't leave until these asshats come over to give me an estimate.
I hope you are visited by asshats soon then.

As long as they are the RIGHT asshats.
The latest news on Australia and their weird animal problems: Pesky Camels Will Be Shot From Helicopters
Thousands of camels will be shot from helicopters and turned into burgers in a bid to halt their trail of havoc across Australia.
Marksmen plan to gun the animals down amid concern the thirsty dromedaries are barging into people's homes and ripping up their bathrooms looking for water.
Government officials plan to wipe out 650,000 of the feral population in the remote Outback area of the country.
The creatures were first introduced to Australia in the 1840s to help explorers travel through the Australian desert.
There are now about one million camels roaming the country.
They compete with sheep and cattle for food, trample vegetation and invade remote settlements in search of water.
On a number of occasions they have scared residents - tearing apart bathrooms and ripping up water pipes.
...Tony Peacock, CEO of the University of Canberra's Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Center, said: "To be shot from a helicopter is actually quite humane, even though that sounds brutal."
"If I was a camel, I'd prefer to just get it in the head."

Wow, it's interesting that they've figured out where to get the water.
I am NOT moving to Atlanta. Though I had a brilliant time, my heart is here.
And the gents I'm most interested in? Moving to PDX. Nyah.
Much Trek-ism is always possible, SA! I would be delighted. :)
Oh my- camels in bathrooms!
My bookcases are here! Now to put them together. I am also a hot sweaty mess and my cat is traumitized!

I'm not sure I want to know how those two things are related.

It makes me very very sad, indeed. I know that the camel population in Oz is pretty bad and that it needs to be handled, but shooting them? Makes me cry.
