Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Pretty sure we have to switch out the battery. I need an extendable robot arm.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This is 2018, surely you can get an extendable robot arm delivered by drone.

Maybe I just need a drone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's Halloween at work today, which is our favorite day. The ringleader in my area is surprised that people are reacting so politically to our theme, The Handmaid's Tale. Which is hilarious to me.

Blessed be the fruit.

DOJ has a man from Florida in custody for the bombings.

EDIT: Now they're saying he's arrested.

Crisis averted. It's a fire alarm upstairs, in one of the bedrooms. Much lower ceilings.

Ugh Dana, that's annoying. The first time the smoke detector went off in the one room in my house I realized the same thing and ended up going to Home Depot and purchasing a ladder (luckily it was daytime). That's been the only thing I've used the ladder for. It lives in my garage. What a waste.

Our wings are not tired.

Of course, Florida. At least some parts of our government function. The post office and a bunch of law enforcement agencies have done very well with this mess.

Sounds like we now know who's going to be the first recipient of a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the current administration.

What is even happening?

Not just Florida, y'all -- Plantation, Florida, because in the Trump-Is-POTUS AU, nothing is too on the nose.

And have you seen the suspect's van?
