Back in the '70s I was working in the same building that housed an office of a big chemical company. They had received a few bomb threats, which involved evacuating everyone from the building. Then we noticed that they seemed to be getting a lot of bomb threats ... usually mid-day on pleasant, sunny days. We figured that SOMEONE wanted a nice mid-day break ... not something I think you could get away with now.

Last year we had what we thought was a fire drill in January, when it was 10 degrees outside and 15 mph winds. We were all pissed, then we found out something in the server room was smoking.

Note: it's a really nice day here in Greater Camberville where Jesse works.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My parents still live in the house I grew up in, at least in the warm weather. The houses my parents grew up in have been sold long ago.(My mother's childhood house was turned into condos, I think.)

Kids these days have all the cool db tools we only dreamed of, when we pushed data uphill both ways.

A little mid-week retail therapy - got myself the Endgame Cap and Nebula. I still want a GG1 Nebula and several other versions of Cap (I have Ultron Cap), but these will do. Then hit Goodwill and got a large black tote/purse with no seeming brand that will suffice for next winter and 3 graduated small clear pyrex bowls - note something I really need, but my friend in NY had several and used them almost every meal and I realize with being clear, they go with everything and I do love Pyrex. Just over $30 for all of it, so that was super cheap retail therapy.
Walked the dogs and we are now all plopped in the living room cooling off.
I sear it feels like Friday. It should be Friday.

This week has been pretty long. Tomorrow I have two meetings a pot luck and a shave ice truck, so I guess I shouldn't skip it.

Pyrex bowls are a sweet score.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Agreed.
