Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Yikes, msbelle! That's one hell of a storm!

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

Oh dear, msbelle! Hang in there.

Our wings are not tired.

Yikes! Keep high and dry please.

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

Power went out at 2am.

I did get the damaged garage door open and am headed to work. I brought 2 insulated bags to work if stuff to put in the fridges here.

Oh, geez, msbelle. Good luck getting everything sorted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Two people died from a lightning strike in DC!

I saw that, so weird!! Like, who does of a lightning strike in the middle of DC? Other than dreams of certain justices having that happen….

Yikes, msbelle. Sorry about all of that.

Yes, two killed and a couple more seriously injured near the White House. Scary.

Has anyone here been in contact at all with Fred Pete? Today is his birthday and it has been a good long while since I've seen his font. I hope all is well with him.

Seems like there's a lot going on, but nothing immediate. I've been put in the lead role in a new project at work and it seems to be going well so far even though I've not felt well the past couple of weeks and have been well under 100% at work. It leads to that weird disconnect when I'll feeling like I'm not doing my best work, but the people at work seem perfectly happy with what I'm getting done. I'm also getting contacted by a lot of recruiters lately, I'm not sure if that means anything about the economy in general but it makes the tech sector seem strong. Nothing I'm really considering though, though I'll probably talk with a couple of them. I even have a Google recruiter reaching out to me which I have ambivalent feelings about. I didn't get the best impression of Google when they bought Motorola Mobility while I was working there. Meanwhile, I decided to order a Ford Maverick only to have Ford promptly move the date for taking orders back from August to mid-September, so I'll have to wait for then and then wait for much longer to actually get one. My wife and I have also decided to move to Minnesota for climate and political reasons, but that is still a couple of years off. Maybe the real estate market won't be so crazy then. My daughter and her husband have been trying to buy a house, but houses keep selling before they can even see get a chance to see them so they haven't had any luck yet.
