Wimbledon:

Wow, Berdych just stormed through Djokovic, didn't he?

That's who I'm now rooting for, Dana. With a broken heart.

It is also beautiful here, about 72 and sunny. But I am full of gronk. I already took the kiddo to nature day camp (which is an hour round trip, ugh), went to the psych, and to the grocery.

I should do something productive in the yard, but I just want to lay down and read for a while.

For Hec: Uncle Sam’s Amazing Warship of the Sky (Sep, 1931)

The biggest airship in the world, an amazing structure which is veritably a flying battleship, is practically finished and ready for test flights by the U. S. Navy, The man who supervised the design of this warship of the sky reveals here the fascinating mechanical details of its construction.

...

Aside from the new methods in construction, the outstanding feature of the Akron will be the hangar built within the hull to house five scouting and pursuit airplanes, both to supplement her scouting activities and to aid in her defense if attacked by enemy planes. A truss built between the main frames in the second bay aft of the control car is placed directly above a *T” shaped door opening in the bottom of the fabric covering. Through this opening a trapeze will be lowered, and the airplanes, with a hook above their upper wing, will fly up and make contact, as has been done many times in experiments with the Los Angeles. After they have attached themselves the planes will be drawn up within the hull and hung up in storage from the supporting truss. The airplane compartment, 75 feet long and 60 feet wide, will provide space for five airplanes.

This game is crazy!

ETA: Brazil-Netherlands, not Wimbledon

I CANNOT LOOK AWAY from that pic of Bomer.

I CANNOT LOOK AWAY from that pic of Bomer.

Uh, which pic? I mean, I should test my ability to look away, just in case.

Man, people are being crazy with regards to delivering shit that needs to get delivered in order to make due dates. Also, missing project manager for the epic fail. I haven't heard from this guy in three days, and I need action on his side.

This one, ita. Pretty sure you've seen it.

No one is getting back to me so I can finish up all my stuff and get out of here.

Of the 5 things I need to finish. I'm working on 2. The other 3 one, people from LA aren't returning my email, the second, the dude was in a doctor's appointment and may not be in until well after noon (!) and the third isn't ready for review, and then when it is, if there are changes...oy. I should have just taken today off.

Woooot!
