Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Today is Patriot's Day in the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, but what is the excuse for the rest of you Natter slackers?
ION, I got a call last night from the Census, and I'm being reactivated for the door-to-door enumeration, so yay! Also yay in that we've got some good weather scheduled to do it in....
Yay Theodosia.
Hey, if I am in Maine for the 4th of July, any chance you would want to come up?
YAY work!
no day off for me.
I am trying not to watch news sites like mad today. I fear crazy people will act crazy today.

Why today? As opposed to any other day, since crazy transcends time.

Today is the anniversary of Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Oklahoma City. Also Columbine, but that one seems to be unrelated. It's become the date for the anti-government people to get violent.
edit: no, wait. Columbine is tomorrow. I remember the 4/20 jokes.

Jeez. I didn't realize all that happened on the same date. (Or that today was that date.) I guess it's too much to hope the crazies stay in bed today.
I was wrong about Ruby Ridge. That happened in August. I'm not sure why I thought that was April 19, too. But Waco and Oklahoma City were both April 19, and Columbine was April 20.

It's my sister's birthday, so we're all well aware. I generally spend this day crossing my fingers that nothing else happens to give her even more of a complex.
I think tomorrow is Hitler's birthday, which may or may not be related to Columbine.

Yes, it is too much to hope for. They're staging a protest, and bringing their guns.
No, really.
eta: Correction: Protests. Plural.
Yeah, there's a protest on the Virginia side of the Potomac today, with everyone bringing their guns to show that they have guns, or something. There's also a protest on the DC side of the river, but because DC has different open carry laws, that one is without visible guns.
