When the guy mowing the apartment lawn looks like Todd from Breaking Bad.

Edina, dude, Edina. They serve cake in the waiting room. :p

Did have a little quiet chuckle when the current issue of The New Yorker was in the waiting room.
Every Day I Need Attention

Also for those following the hurricane coverage it sounds like we are headed down this weekend to assist FEMA. I'm hoping I will be able to provide updates.
 
Family Intervention needed.

Z is kicking the couch while we eat. I said "There goes Thumper!"
Z: "No. I'm a baby. Thumper's a rabbit."
E: "THUMPER!!"
Z: "Thumper is a boy rabbit. I'm a baby girl, not Thumper."
E: "Thumper's always Thumpin.'"
Z: "I'm a baby, not a rabbit."
E: "But you're thumpin' the couch, Thumper."
Z: "Not Thumper! I'm a baby."

So, she's wrong. Convince her, world.

Well at least she's not behind the driver seat doing it as your taking her somewhere.
 
I think I was at Steel Wheels in 89 with you. Was that the one with the big tower for Sympathy for the Devil? I think I decided that concert would be so much fun that I didn't to drink for it. Also, I probably didn't want to spend the whole concert waiting in line for the bathroom.
What I remember is the humongous blow-up dolls for "Honky-Tonk Woman" that were sitting on a rack up above the band, and were kind of flopping because they were slightly deflated. And somewhere around 30000 people singing "Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday".

Oh, the guys weren't waiting. Trust me. The WOMEN were waiting. And I saw quite a few guys run behind the bathrooms & concessions, and stroll back out again. That grass got its share of nitrogen that night. :D

So @wxman1 must have received a promotion while I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago.

Firstly, congratulations.

Secondly, is this the prime minister position you've been hoping for?

Be safe, Tallperson! And if you see my nieces and their hubbies, be nice to them; three out of the four are Republicans. ;)

Thanks! Yes and no. More of moving from doing engineering ***** work to trying to keep those prime ministers on schedule.

Some men are gentlemen and wouldn't perform such a disrespectful act.




I would absolutely have done that but wasn't drinking so I didn't.

My real question is, what was Rev doing during all of this

Stay safe. You're with the fed's right? I couldn't remember if it was with that or with a group like the red cross

You're pretty much a one man, mobile security watchtower, aren't you?

Or are they going to have you stand in the middle of a bayou and grab survivors as they float by?

Pretty sure my old work friend Bonnie will get deployed. She is on the Corps temporary housing temp that supports FEMA. I've lost track of how much time she has spent away from home working these disasters the last 10 years, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes etc. And we haven't even had the big one yet, the California earthquake. One of our structural engineers has a go bag at work. He's part of search and rescue team (sniffy dogs etc with him as engineer on safety) for that. Supposed to grab the bag and be ready to go.

Guessing the Texas congressman who object to every single emergency assistance bill will be singing a different tune this year. Hypocrites.

Yeah Fed, it's kind of the beauty of FEMA they keep a low employment number and utilize other DHS resources in times of need. It sounds like we will be doing housing inspections and logistics.
 
At work. I watch Z during the day, and I'll take her to preschool when it starts next week.
That's our best solution to our daycare/allergy problems. We're self-funding this final year, and I'll dissertate when Z's in school, most evenings, and over the weekend.
Ah, that makes sense. I was hopeful this was at dinner, and that she just had a slightly bemused look on her face
