Oh, my god, ha! There is so much wrong with this listing (not one I'm submitting for, to be clear).

Live-in executive assistant... one room in my executive apartment... I am a continental business man with business interests in Africa and the United States... drive the executive SUV as well as cordinating various sides of the business which requires research of partner companies, speaking on telephone, order cordination, business document prepapration and so much more.

So much more. Yes, I'm quite sure.

What the hell?????

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

There's a local news story about a guy who was yelling for help through a sewer grate. The fire department got him out, and he said he was running and fell into a hole. He then refused treatment and quickly left.

Doesn't this sound like a story in which someone time travels or teleports?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The phrase "drive the executive SUV" is making me laugh and laugh.

Unrelatedly -- you guys, the aurora borealis is (are?) all over the damn country tonight! People are reporting them as far south as Oklahoma and Tennessee, as far west as Kansas City, and as far east as New York.

We're too close to the city lights and get too much light pollution, but I still went out and stood in the driveway looking up for a while tonight. (The neighbors probably think I was summoning the mothership.) Didn't see anything, but apparently a bunch of people in the area did. Which is pretty cool anyway.

Yes.

Well I am a) wondering why that would be happening and it's freaking me out a little, and b) about to go outside and look for the mother ship aurora borealis.

ETA: None for me.

I went out looking and didn't see anything. Boo.

I am quoting directly from this article (which I could just link and leave it at that, but I already copied the text):

The sun spit out a sizable Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) around 2pm EDT Monday. It only takes the light from the sun about eight minutes to get to the earth but it takes several hours for us to feel the effects of a CME.

SpaceWeather.com relayed a report from the Goddard Space Weather Lab saying, "the impact [of the CME] caused a strong compression of Earth's magnetic field, allowing solar wind to penetrate all the way down to geosynchronous orbit for a brief period."

Now I gotta go look out for aurora.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

AWB is slaying me with the awake cutitude.

Thankfully, AWB sleeps plenty. But those times don't make for as interesting photos. So when he *is* awake, I try to seize the moment (photographically speaking).
