Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Well, that's excellent news.

The workshop I've been at since Monday finally, in the last two hours of the last day, got around to talking about the stuff I do. And they blasted through it so fast we didn't address anything in detail. I did learn a few things that I didn't know were going on, which just makes me resentful rather than enthusiastic.

... I have a bad attitude. Huh.

Possibly it's time for ice cream or something.

In bad news on the individual rather than the plural-of- apocalypse scale, I just hit a large wire that I have no idea how it got in my yard, and now my brand-new mower won't start.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh, Ginger. I hope it will after a bit.

... I have a bad attitude. Huh.

One of us, one of us!

I'm assuming it's that I'm sick and a little bit hungover from last night.

I know my bad attitude grows exponentially as the amount of snot increases

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In cross-your-fingers good news, it looks like they've gotten offsite power to Unit 2 and have gotten a backup generator working to cool the spent fuel pools in units 5 and 6. I haven't seen anything recent on the status of the unit 4 pool.

Fuck yeah.

Mower-ma, Ginger.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm assuming it's that I'm sick and a little bit hungover from last night.

Yeah, either of those would contribute to crankiness, for sure. Along with things that are cranky-making!

Um, I've been commenting in my head all day, but maybe not actually on here?

False alarm, at least about the mower. I let it rest a while and it came back from the dead.

Has anyone else with a compost heap wondered if carrots are really food? They seem to have the half-life of a Twinkie.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The must feel all nice and at home in a compost pile.

I'm a great believer in spontaneous healing with stuff like this. Congrats on your undead mower.
