Connie, I hadn't realized tomorrow was Pioneer Day. I didn't see any fireworks stands like I did last year.

On the plane, waiting to taxi. I have a 4 week old baby next to me. He is blissfully asleep right now. Even if he cries, I can handle tiny baby cries over screeching toddler screams (a few rows back).

Is it wrong to take the train to a Ren Faire?

Is there a horse-drawn wagon available?

I'm thinking on foot, with coconuts.

guh, just got sad news. Family friend diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Symptoms came on super fast, probably weeks to live. horrible.

Jesus, there was a mass shooting at a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana. Two dead, including the gunman, eight wounded.

There may be more bans this year, people not wanting to burn the state down. Plus the Pioneers rolled into the Salt Lake Valley, it took a while to get to St. George.

ION, I received an announcement for what I believe is the ceremony to put Hubby's name on the memorial wall for organ donors. Last weekend in August, some bright bulb scheduled it for 9:30 in the morning, when it will be cool. I shall take the train up, that way I can cry as much as I need to. The light rail stop is right at the library where the wall is.

I'm so sorry, msbelle.

And that is terrible, Dana. It probably shouldn't shock me that that happened in Lafayette (because I should know by now that it could happen anywhere), but it does.

That sounds nice, Connie. I hope it's a good experience for you.

I fear Pioneer Day may fuck up my ability to get coffee on my way out of this place tomorrow.

shrift, congrats on the apartment! I totally think you should get a gold star for that. Or a mischief managed badge.

msbelle, that sounds awful.

My dog is acting like a nutcase. Granted we are in a hotel room and she was in a car all day. She is being insane. She jumped on the bed the kids are in and then the bed I'm in. And then she tried to eat our dinner. It's all just nutty behavior.

I wish we could teleport home and not have to drive across nevada.

@$#^&*!

Fireman knocked on my apartment door, "There's a gas leak in the building, everyone leave."

I grabbed my go-bag and my work backpack and am now waiting in the parking lot for developments.

Well, that's not good, dog and gas leak.

I have no business looking at fluevog sales, but I did. And the new tv is paid for and vacation was cheaper than expected so I will soon own these: [link] And these [link] for a little less than those prices thanks to a discount they gave me with my last order (of the pearl harts in black, 6 months ago. They are insanely comfortable and now my staple shoes.)

Those Pearl Harts are AMAZING.
