Sorry, Hil. That was what sent me in search of more statistics the other night. I would have told you not to read it.
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
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.
Anna Pou is a case.
Being stuck in a dorm in New Orleans during a much less severe storm was pretty damn scary. I cannot imagine how terrifying it must have been to be in that hospital.
Fuck. Crying.
There's another article in the Times Magazine this week that at least shows that something is going right and getting better. [link]
People on the East coast may be able to step outside and see the shuttle launch in a minute...
It's way too foggy to see anything.
We're back from our fundraiser. I scored a small watercolor painting, some mineral makeup and two hand made necklaces for $90. I also won an American Girl doll for $20 in raffle tickets.
Weird - because it was a night launch you could see (from the external tank cam) all this hot plasma surrounding the shuttle. Then after MECO and tank separation, you could see the flashes from cameras on the shuttle as they automatically took pictures of the tank.
Which doll, Cash? That's quite a haul!
Grace had a beach party today. How you have a beach party for a facility full of kids with traches (sand or water + traches do not mix for obvious reasons) is a little confounding.
It was good. Lots of people stopped to talk to us and the scuttlebutt is that Grace will be home in less than a year. We have more training and she has more stabilizing, but yeah. Can you all imagine?
We also tried a drop in day care center for the first time tonight. Mainly because they have a big play area and with the fires and the heat, Noah's daycare had him indoors all day. So at dropin, they have lots of space to run and climb and a slide too. Drop In Day Care is a brilliant concept. I hope they stay in business.
Whoa. Can thankfully picture, at long last, but... Imagining sibling rivalry with N&G.
