Reports of a second explosion.
'Why We Fight'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm seeing explicit statements that there was not a second explosion. [link]
Work is going to start load reduction procedures. Which involves running the ac less and switching over to diesel generators for some systems. The same ones that didn't come on when we lost power a couple weeks ago.
Maybe I should just go home now.
Cabana boys. With cold drinks and fans.
Matt,
dang. I hope you have a cooler day!
OK, fuck it -- the person I was trying to set up a quick conversation with this morning hasn't responded at all to my 5pm email. I'm closing my work email and going out to enjoy my day off!
Get some gelato today, Jesse.
Be careful Norwegians!
Matilda woke up this morning, looked at me and held up three fingers, "Alice in Wonderland 3. I just dreamed it. She went into a castle, and there was a room, and there was a man in the room. And he had a fox face. It was very furry. And he could shoot bullets but he wasn't going to shoot little kids."
Then she made a little gesture somewhere about six inches over her head and explained, "He had a point on his head and the bullets come out there."
"Then what happened?"
"She was dancing in a ballroom. There were a lot of people. The man with the fox face was going to shoot people wearing metal." (Armor, I think.)
Matilda has the best dreams.
Right now the heat index outside is 109, and it's scheduled to go up to 117. I really hope our AC (window units in both bedrooms) can cope with being on all day while Aeryn is home with the nanny. (I feel bad that she basically has to stay in one room the whole day in order to not melt, but maybe she'll decide to take Aeryn to the library or something. She can strap an ice pack to the back of the stroller for the ride over.)
I've managed to hold out with just a fan and an icepack, but I'm going to have to make a strategic move to the AC soon....
