I have felt like shit all day. Fever for most of the day.Ugh.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Was any of the football on NBC? And if so, did they run late at all?

pneumatic tubes!
Huntington's NICU also had pneumatic tubes. We were just talking this week that we wished we had a pneumatic tube system between our house and our day care provider's place. We could drop a kid in and, THRWSUCK, there he would be!

My dream house if I ever became crazy rich would have pneumatic tubes.
I have cleaned my kitchen, so my day hasn't been totally unproductive. Now I will try to tidy my living room while watching Chuck.
