If I can get in the gates I have a key on the porch. But none of my neighbors appear to be home.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Fuck. Just locked myself out of the house.
Oh, that sucks.
OTOH, it does remind me that we live in the future and the first thing you did was post to B.org to tell us! Hah.

I feel like the future should have better answers than "call a locksmith", y'know?? Though I do know plenty of people who can call themselves on their cellphones to let themselves into their buildings. But can't then get in their apartment.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Holy shit! You know what you don't want to read in an email from your kids' school? This:
Today, at approximately 7:35 AM, an adult male made telephone threats to law enforcement agencies that he would commit shootings at various school sites.
Apparently their school was on lockdown for a brief while as law enforcement sorted it all out. No shooters, no shooting, everyone is safe. My overwhelming feelings right now are relief and gratitude, but yipes! I don't want to live in a world where pipe bombs and school shooting threats become the norm.

Holy shit, Burrell! I'm so glad there was no actual danger.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesus, Burrell! I read your post about the explosives before I had to run back to work and get a loaner (the disk is now unrecoverable--rescuscitating it long enough to get data off was a miracle), and of course, Overland is a) my route home and b) blocked at that time. Never mind the two accidents on the 405 already. Waste of a day.
Hey--SodaStreamers--do you flavour by the bottle after you've fizzed? Or do you flavour by the glass or a different container? What are you flavouring with? How long is the bottle acceptably fizzy?

Yikes, people. Stop sucking so bad. (Not Buffistas, all those other people out there.)

I flavor by glass, usually with a smidge of whatever syrup flavor I want (usually rose or violet) and some bitters. Right now my favorite combinations are rose with chocolate bitters, or violet with cardamom bitters.

Burrell,
I think they arrested the guy.
