I can only imagine how many highly qualified federal workers have given up and left after decades of service.
Also, {{Fred}}, I know finalization is always hard. Despite knowing it was the right decision it still hurt to divorce DH#1.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

We have a few friends in the State Dept who have decided to stick it out, but nobody's happy there anymore.

They are going to be needed desperately to put the pieces back together.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The high today is supposed to reach 93°.
Tomorrow's high will be 69°.

Because books.

The whole impeachment thing is scary fascinating. But beyond the spectacle, I'm worried about what happens next.

I am wearing my most summery clothes, and flip-flops, and praying this is summer's last gasp. I also reserved The October Country by Ray Bradbury at the library this morning.

I'm wearing my puffy down jacket today, not just because it's cold now (49!) but I'm also going to the As game tonight...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I just put the AC on because it's both warm and so humid that I can't stop sweating. But I'm drinking a spiced chai latte and trying to pretend it's Autumn.
Amy, I started a tradition a few years ago of also reading a Bradbury in October, and this year I decided to read From the Dust Returns.

We're a day behind you -- today and tomorrow are still going to be in the 90s, but Friday's high will (ALLEGEDLY) be 70. We also haven't had significant rain in a while, so our lawn looks brown and sad. But at least I'm almost done mowing for the year.

I am VERY unhappy with this random-summer-day-in-October bullshit, and so are my sinuses.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Someone told me yesterday that the temps this weekend would be in the 80s, but they are a week off. Temps for Austin this weekend (ACL baby) are highs of 94-97 with almost no clouds or breeze. Gonna be a hot one. Packing my cooling towels, hand fan, and parasol.
