Some moron was flying a drone over the fire near me, and the Forest Service grounded all aerial services. This is rough, steep terrain, air assault is the best method to deal with this, but no, some asshole wanted cool pictures. The winds shifted during the day, pushing the smoke into the next valley over. Which means the morning commute will be through thick plumes of heavy smoke. I should probably hit my inhaler before I leave the house in the morning.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

That's awesome, sarameg!
You just have to read the whole site, so then it's just the new posts to worry about.
Yes, that seems like the wisest move.
I actually had an interesting offer tonight that I'd like to talk to you about, jesse, if you wouldn't mind?

Congrats on the right recognition, sarameg!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The SO once asked for, and got, a 50% salary raise. Now mind you, a) he started as a clerk and ended up doing programming, b) the only other person in the building who could do the work was a consultant who was making four times what he was, and c) he has the kind of chutzpah to ask for a fifty percent raise, but I was all WTF?
So, anyway, the SO's family's "go buy groceries for someone" push in memory of his dad made the local news. Apparently it was a bit of a crazy day.

Really pleased with my breakfast today. Nothing fancy - buttered toast, poached egg, slice of cheese - but I got it all to be pleasing textures and temperatures at the same time to come together well.
BTW, I tried to sign up for tumblr thinking that would be a good platform for my random outbursts about food but my account was terminated immediately upon creation so I guess I'm not doing that.

WTF? Did they give you a reason?
