I know this house is crazy falling down, but does it come with a little baby house? Or possibly 2?

It looks like two baby houses. That may be where the "multifamily" comes in. I have no idea what's happening under that brown siding.

Man, the purple area (aka, hazardous air quality?) is right where we're headed.

The winds are shifting a bit. I hope they clear out the smoke in the area you're going to, soon.

The Monty Hall problem doesn't make any intuitive sense to me, except that you have to include the idea that Monty knows where the car is. It's sort of like when you listen to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and Peter Segal asks, "Is that your final answer?" and you know that he's hinting the caller to change to something else.

ION, we just had a retirement party for my snarky coworker (gonna miss him!) and the HR person came, and she said they would probably be posting the announcement for my position next week. OMG FINALLY. It's only been 2.5 years. Sheesh.

NOLA heat has not been very humid at all this summer (much to my chagrin).

Also, Bill Bryson hiked the Appalachians kind of alone- well, he had that crazy dude with him for part of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm definitely not up to driving, although I can totally work. Ah, well, blos, you picked PTO. On my run back from the pharmacy, I dented some nice ladies bumper as I was pulling to a stop in traffic. Ooops.

TB, was it you that wanted more reading about aces? Here's Men, Masculinity, Sexuality, and Rape.

Speaking of which the Batfamily might be the most raped family in Gotham.

Heh. Well, one can hike the trail alone, sure. But not "hike the trail" a la South Carolina governor
