I'm heading to the airport early because I'm being frugal and sharing a taxi with colleagues. Also because I'm exhausted and done with this week. I didn't get to do any sightseeing in DC, but at least I did go out for dinner with the team every night.

I hope the active shooter training stuff is worthwhile. If nothing else something in the back of the mind in case of incidents anywhere like the mall or sports event. Sucks beyond telling that we have to think about it at all.

Excitement today was having a visiting turtle. The dog was going berserk and when I looked he was strolling along the side of the pool. Took a picture and messaged my neighbor, and yep, it was his. He came and fetched him. His sister left his gate open and a couple escaped. In the past when people see his turtles in the neighborhood they try and move them to the lake, but they aren't an aquatic type.

Turtle! Cool.

I did tell you guys I put down my deposit on a Tesla? Probably looking at 6 months before I get it, but in the queue. I looked at the other electric varieties, but after reading many reviews I decided to go for it. Son & DIL working at Tesla doesn't hurt their rep with me either. Since they are in service they see the worst of it, but still have been pushing me to do it. Whee! Of course I'll be more excited when they tell me it is time to pick my options because it is being built.

Oh, wow, Laura! How exciting!

Nice, Laura!

My car has about 120,000 miles on it now and it's showing its age. It knows it is on the chopping block because the back up camera hadn't been working and suddenly started working again a couple days ago.

Cool!

My car has 240,000 miles and I've been having thoughts about getting something newer and more economical. Hoping it can go to my son after that. Runs like a clock, but the sound deadening isn't what it used to be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Connie, they told me that I shouldn't drive/operate heavy machinery, drink alcohol or sign legal documents for the next 24 hours. Beyond that, nothing.

Yeah, between the kids working for Tesla and the no gas expense at all thing, that was a tipping point.

We went out to eat tonight and I was the only person in the restaurant wearing orange. At least there were several in my exercise class this morning sporting orange.
