So it's a bit disconcerting to step out of your office trailer to cross a parking lot to go to lunch and notice that the parking lot has been cautioned taped, the entrances blocked by emergency vehicles, and men milling about in hazmat suits.

It's probably not the time, to take deeper sniffs to try to identify the peculiar oder in the air...

At least the Geiger counters weren't clicking

sounds super.

Who Farted ?

We are having a problem with one of our younger rats...she is biting. Hard. I have no idea why. This is something new for her. Her sister is still as sweet as can be. It just makes no sense.

I just got done with tonight's cookies. I told my mom that I'm not going to do one of the types I had planned on. It is just too labor intensive and I just don't have the time. Tomorrow night I am going to make peanut butter cookies. I have 2 more batches of fudge left to make and then I will be done with my annual baking spree.

Boy has the creeping crud that seems to be everywhere. He has missed school the last 2 days because of it. I am hoping he will be doing better in the morning so that he can finish out the week.


Did you ever find out why the Hazmats were out?

Fuel spill, solvent or something - there's a garage in the next building uphill from all the storm drains.

Sooo...I got my yellow belt!

Congratulations!

Sooo...I got my yellow belt!

I started taking Kajukenbo (the only American developed martial art) at the community college in August. I missed half the classes, but I managed to pass anyways. Hooray, low standards! I thought I had totally screwed up the test, but afterwards the black belts that had helped judge said I did really well.

The last part of the test was sparring, which I had never done before, but I did amazingly well. I fought a purple belt and tied. I felt bad because she was a good four inches shorter than me, so I hit her head quite a bit. Apparently hitting the teacher's daughter didn't count against me.

Oops, how did that first post get there?
