Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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.)

Coding and Sleeping

I understood what Gud did with React!

Automatically generated sagas are cool, right?

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

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

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

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.
