Yeah, and when I hear people bitching about illegal immigrants getting free immunizations and health care I just want to shake them and yell, "Do you understand how viruses work?!?" Communicable diseases do not care about your position on insurance, state and country boarders, religion, or political affiliation.It's funny, it's usually the same people who have domestic help (maid, nanny, gardener) that say those types of things. They don't get, that if the maid just cleaned your bathroom, while sick, s/he just left ick all over your bathroom. Might have even coughed near your toothbrush. Nothing malicious, but hey, airborne! And those are the same folks who really could use that public transportation too. It helps commerce all around. But hey, that's the socialist in me, wanting folks to be able to get to work, and be healthy so they can keep working. Crazy, I know.
Oops, that turned into a bit of a rant. Sorry about that.
ION-, here on campus, seems somebody broke into one of the classroom/theaters and stole some lighting and sound equipment. They went through a LOT of trouble for the sound gear. The rack screws (keeps the equipment in the rack) had non-phillips head bits, so they took a grinder to those screw heads to get the gear out. Drilled out the lock on the rack. And hoisted away 10 year old gear that might be worth, eh, $100 or so. Of course, to replace it, will be $1500. But hey, that shit was causing problems last season, and was on the way out anyhow. So this gives us opportunity to replace it. Funny. Oh, and the lighting console, that was a lucky shot. The school just purchased a new one, but we are using it for the outdoor theater in the park, so the board they stole is the old one that is getting ready to be mothballed. All in all, makes for an interesting Monday.
