  • Yes, I'm Alive.

    Sorry I haven't been posting.  I'm in one of my no-time-to-do-the-stuff-I-want-on-the-computer periods.  If only Xanga would do the lj thing and let me literally phone in entries while I'm on the road commuting to and from work.  That'd be awesome.  I found an entry I left unposted, but it seemed to be only missing a title.  So I made one real quick and posted it for y'all. 


    When I could have been blogging, reading message boards, or otherwise catching up on the various communities I already exist in here in cyberspace these past few days, I was instead reading all 700 comics at .  I'm officially addicted, having been put through the emotional ringer by this comic.  In. Two. Very. Late. Nights.


    I've been to a few birthday parties recently, finally bought a new headlight and taillight this past Sunday which I used for the first time last night, renewed our biweekly hiking group, plus all of the usual things in my life.  I'm working a six day work week this week, meaning that CopperCon XXVI will be the first CopperCon since 1994 I haven't attended. 


    If I had more time, I'd elaborate.  Instead I will head to work slightly behind schedule.  While I suffer from QC withdrawl.  QC overdosing is my friend. 


     







    You Are a Visual Learner

    You tend to remember what you see, and you have a good eye for aesthetics.
    You excel at art, design, and computer programming.
    You would be an excellent film director - or the next Bill Gates!

  • Yes, Now All of You Stalkers Can Figure Out Where I Work. ;^P

    The Motel 6 behind work had a two alarm fire yesterday afternoon.  16 engines, a command truck, battalion chief truck, ambulance, and concessions truck were in attendance, with both Indian School and 27th Avenue closed down.  Four ladders were pouring water on the fire, with eight engines on standby incase the fire leapt to another building. 

     

    The police taped off 7-11 and work, leaving us with only dedicated customers coming in.  Most of them were from far away, didn't want to have to make another trip to the store, and parked across the street somewhere to walk over. 

     

    CBS 5 was first on the scene.  Besides using their Roof Cam, a camera guy ran across the street to taking images of the fast moving fire.  Then they launched their helicopter and had it hover over Indian School Road.  The FD put up their red hazard tape after the ceiling collapsed on a firefighter.  It started with an explosion, so most of us assume it was a methlab.  The Motel 6 manager said that they hadn't paid their bill the last few days and had been asked to leave the day of the explosion.  That fits our theory.
