Hi Cousin, Kiwi, and all, (off topic) Yeah, Terry resigned from CNBC when she lost her desk job and had to report from the field. Last I heard she was going back to CNN - haven't seen her yet.
The biggest storm 'El Nino' in years is here. Went to work (35 miles - still can't ride, have to go back to the doc about the knee), to find that Edwards Air Force Base is engulfed in a dust/sand storm. Part of the 3-story building I work in is under reconstruction to withstand earthquakes (hopefully), update electrical, asbestos removal, etc. (Asbestos removal is complete thank goodness.) Some doors were left open and the wind tore the plastic barriers in the hallways resulting in a layer of sand silt everywhere inside the building - on desks, computers, everything. Many people had trouble breathing - sneezing, coughing - the silty smell was still strong in the air. People were talking/worried about 'Valley Fever'. With the storm bearing down (we actually got a severe thunderstorm warning which is very rare) management decided than non-essential employees can go home. So here I am - a non-essential. I'd rather be home than at work. It's interesting that my net connection is better from home than work. Sorry for rambling.
Hope all is well,
Kevin |
