Trust my rage

Totally! I left my friends' at half time sort of bored and allergic to their cats. But it has gotten good!

Our wings are not tired.

Where does your SIL have in mind for January?

Disney in Orlando. It was my very first marathon and a lot of fun. The course goes through 4 of the parks. It was today for this year. With the cold snap I bet they froze. When I did it the start was in the mid 50s. Come to Florida and do it with us!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Today's run started at the beach and was a little warm at 75 degrees or so. Great day to be at the beach! Sorry, everywhere else!

Ahrg. Fucked up a nail. Can't do anything about it tonight, but will have to redo it. Today keeps giving.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay pneumatic tubes! Gone with the wind: Tubes are whisking samples across hospital

Every day, 7,000 times a day, Stanford Hospital staff turn to pneumatic tubes, cutting-edge technology in the 19th century, for a transport network that the Internet and all the latest Silicon Valley wizardry can’t match: A tubular system to transport a lab sample across the medical center in the blink of an eye.

In four miles of tubing laced behind walls from basement to rooftop, the pneumatic tube system shuttles foot-long containers carrying everything from blood to medication. In a hospital the size of Stanford, where a quarter-mile’s distance might separate a tissue specimen from its destination lab, making good time means better medicine.

“Approximately 70 percent of the information on a patient’s chart is lab data,” said David Myrick, quality coordinator for the hospital’s clinical labs. “We conduct about 8 million tests a year, serving thousands of patients. We are going full blast, 24-7, at the highest level of testing. The tube system is part of a complex chain of events that ultimately give doctors the essential lab results they need to make decisions about our patients.”
