We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Your agency has done that to me more than once

That doesn't surprise me. My old firm only rarely bid on projects here, because in addition to other issues, they pay their contractors fairly poorly.

Which reminds me: I need to find out what firms made the short list on our big new environmental contract, so I can send them my resume...

Art Crawl!!!

Waters are still rising. Students are talking about helping to sandbag.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My boss's basement flooded. After his sump pump died.

If it looks like we're gonna get hit with lots more rain, I'm gonna try to leave early to avoid all the flooding.

Wow, lots of flooding in the Chicago area: [link] (pictures)

If you scroll down, you can see the big sinkhole with three cars in it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Though I am a little perturbed--both Columbia MD and Gettysburg are "local" to me. We could have met up for a drink. There are a few local breweries we could have checked out. (Really not perturbed, but I couldn't resist....)

I was on a really tight schedule, especially w/r/t Columbia which was my longest leg of the trip (Salem to MD via New Haven/Garden State Parkway/95), so I basically got to have dinner with my friend and then to bed (he had to work the next day on top of everything).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Stay safe and dry, Chicagoistas!

In non-end-times news, I just found out Dylan was accepted into the school we applied to for 1st grade! Now we just need for them to expand to a K-8 school as planned so I NEVER EVER HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

heh heh ... college?

High school and college, yeah. But by then he'll be doing some of the work.

(And also Aeryn, but she'll have sibling preference at this school so I'm hoping we can just register her for pre-k and then not worry about it until 9th grade.)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Dudes, there was a vw sighting! Hi vw!

Jessica, great news! (Man, I am not looking forward to having to go through that process in a few years...)

Yikes, the flooding in Chicago is scary.
