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….
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

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.

Your skills are absolutely in demand, Gud. For good reason! And yes, the real estate market is still nuts. The cute house I wanted to look at with the kids today went under contract yesterday.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I swear someone did some curse around my being.
A/C was out at work when I got in and my office was 85 when I arrived.
People were sent home. I can’t work from home due to not power and I have things due today, I moved to basement with my summer youth worker. Also moved an older worker who has no internet at home.
Now A/C is back up and I’ve moved us all back up to our desks.
I await the frogs and/or locusts.

Oh geez, msbelle. The universe owes you a good day.

Good grief! I hope your home power is back by the time you get home today.

Yikes, msbelle. I'm sorry the universe appears to be against you.

Wow, msbelle! I am hoping you can get the frogs on your side, somehow. Seems only fair.
