I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That's really generous of you, Liese.
Man, the funeral stuff is annoying. We have a very large family. The two caravans are down in SD with my parents. Not all of us own cars. Getting from LA to SD is either $ or favors. I thought I had a ride with one of the more pleasant of my brothers but I just got bumped. Now I've got to scramble for another way down. Honestly, I'd rather just send a proxy at this point.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
This is your grandmother, Spidra? Does the train go down there?

Yes. The train goes down to SD. And I might be able to arrange a pickup on the other side (the funeral is actually in La Jolla.) The fare is just a larger percentage of my income than it is of the employed brothers who bumped me from my brother's car. So that grates. I'm sure I'll get down there one way or another.

Aw, Liese.
So there was a hummingbird on my deck! Drinking from my flowers!

What is even happening?
Liese, you're so Liese-y.

Do big cats like catnip, too? Video says Yes! (Well, almost all of them, just like house cats.)

ION, of the good sort, my workplace didn't burn down today.
Coworkers next door smelled something off and on yesterday. Thought it might just be the toaster in the hall. Then today, both of their monitors turned off at the same time, and they share circuit, which wasn't working. Facilities came by and yup, sure enough, bad outlet. The insulation had melted off the wires and was dripped all over inside the wall. Nice!

Phew, that's a close escape, sarameg. Glad they caught it in time.

I never ever ever ever want the halon systems to go off. They'd probably destroy the archive systems. And it would be my primary responsibility to restore it from the offsite storage. And that's something I never ever ever EVER want to have to do. It is the absolute worst thing that could happen. After I finished throwing up, I'd probably need at least a week to stop the gibbering hysteria.
I've never given it much thought. Then this happened. And I swear it took me most of the afternoon to come off the adrenaline rush. And it didn't even set off alarms. And we have fire drills regularly. But those are i drills.
