We were unable to get into a panel Hippocampus was moderating because the room was full.
Sorry you couldn't get in, Sheryl, but that is cool to hear!
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Vacation prep was only the half of it, apparently.
On what should have been a 4-hour drive I spent more than half an hour stopped in traffic (with my AC turned off after the first few minutes to avoid engine overheating!) for a wreck that involved two fire trucks, an ambulance, multiple sheriff's vehicles, and a tow truck hauling an empty cattle carrier away from the scene. Those cows may not have jumped over the moon, but I believe they got a lot more air than is usual for their species.
Then I came across another wreck before the first responders arrived (thankfully everyone seemed OK and able to walk away from the cars), and not long after that had to stop for flagmen on a winding mountain road.
Usually driving into the Ozarks and seeing all the beautiful scenery relaxes me and gets me in the right mood for vacation, but this time I was hypervigilant for most of the drive and white knuckled it all the way to my B&B.

Amazing!

Our wings are not tired.
I'm so excited for msbelle, and all of Baltimore!
Oh Matt, that is so not a good way to start your R&R. Hope today is very much better.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A team member just sent out mail asking each of us to pick a date to attend some pointless, onerous, waste-of-time, all-day training. But it turns out it's being the held the week I've scheduled a vacation! Win!!
Also, I'll be in SF from Sept 8 through Sept 12, if anyone wants to meet up.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Oh yeah, poor Sara. I was running on very little sleep and a lot of adrenaline and caffeine and I am already A LOT.
I was so talky, all the talk, even for me. And then I CRASHED.
The house is so good y'all. inspection went really well. I think we are asking for 5 things to get fixed. I have a call with the realtor later to sort that out and approve it going to the sellers.
Today is work remotely from Baltimore which is a good trial to show them it can be done and I can be productive from here.
