Weather report: Everyone is pretty sure there was a small tornado in my neighborhood yesterday afternoon. Trees and tree limbs are down everywhere and a roof was blown off a restaurant. And power was out for a while for a bunch of the neighborhood. Craziness!

(everyone = folks in the neighborhood...not trained meteorologists)

Happy Birthday to Dillo! I hope he feels better soon.

I have a major case of the gronks this morning. I got up at 7:00 to do laundry, and then putzed around the apartment after getting the clothes all put away instead of getting ready for work, so that I was an hour late. I can't stay late due to working at the bookstore tonight, so I guess I'll have to make it up tomorrow. Oh, well.

Can someone e-mail me some caffeine? kthxbye

Weather report:

At one point during it, I couldn't see more than 3 feet out the window. I'm mildly surprised the flamingo survived that!

The view from the Halifax Harbourcam today: [link] No, that's not a malfunction. That's fog.

current temp: 16.5 C

Poor birthday boy.

~ma for you and your dad, d.

Giant mushroom, or tiny man? You be the judge!

Huh. The mushroom was grown on a coffee farm. That must explain it.

Man, I need a life with more leisure. Or less responsibility. Or more sick time.

um ... speechless

moderately not work safe

I think platform peep toe shoes are of dubious work-appropriateness, but when your toes overhang it's definitely a no go. Of course, this woman has also attended meetings in shorts, so I'm not responding with surprise.
