Damnit, I suck at meara-ing. Burrell, I'm sorry about the identity theft. It's such a pain in the ass to deal with, and I hope the credit bureaus and financial institutions don't give you too much grief.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

The only time I get testy about being excluded by gender from a women's event is if it features male strippers.

Oh, Burrell, how awful! I hope your Credit Union helps you through this.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks folks
Your CU is not related to Wells Fargo, is it?
I went right there too, but nope. I hope. In this case, pretty sure the fraud was committed by a third party, not the CU itself.
A lot of phone calls. A LOT of phone calls, potentially.
sigh, yeah, I'm gonna wallow in denial for a bit but that's what it's looking like

Shoot, the ribbon cutting on our newly renovated train station was today and I missed it. I'll just have to wander around it on my own some time and try to figure out what's different.

I'm either mildly feverish or it really is that gawdawful thick outside. I really can't tell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's pretty thick here, so I'd imagine that's at least a factor.

Oh Burrell, that sucks a lot. Jesus. I hope you can eventually figure out not just how to shut it down, but how it happened.
Plus side: Global CEO's suggestion was "get over it".
Good for that at least!!

I woke up late and ran around like a crazed person, tossing all the last minute crap into my suitcase. Who knows if I missed anything. On my way to SFO now.

It's soupy even up here, though not as hot.
