Storm knocked power out at ~4:30 today, power said we'd be up and running by 7:30. It's 9:00 now they still haven't even dispatched trucks to my zone. 45% charge remaining on the phone. Car is at 100%. Going to bed.
Good night, good people. Good night, sleep tight, and may your dreams come true...

I'm not going to take it personally if you accuse me of tolerating bigotry, but you couldn't possibly be more wrong. #RandomThoughts
It had (drum roll) REPTILE DISFUNCTION.

A simple comfort food but it reminds me so much of my grandmother
When we were growing up she’d save the bacon green and cook green beans from the garden in it. Delicious
I remember helping her snap the ends off. And we’d make them in great big pots which shed then can for the rest of the year.

Today, I worked on THREE proposals, a manuscript, technical reviews of 2 reports, and a QAPP. Plus, I had 2 conference calls. UGH! And, I really mean UGH!

Researchers build a DNA structure and coat it with glass, creating a very low density, very strong material https://phys.org/news/2023-07-dna-coat-glass-density-strong.amp
I'm no lawyer, but adhering to and pushing fraudulent health information by those bound by the Hippocratic Oath seems to constitute medical malpractice. IMO, they SHOULD be subjected to legal action.

This time though, my sis isn't in the greatest of health, so will be careful not to let her push herself too much. We'll be fine, just don't want to stress her at all...she's my favorite sib. If it was one of my knuckleheads brothers, well...
Taking my sister and two nephews to Ireland next Spring. Preliminary itinerary is something like this: Fly into Shannon, Durty Nellie's, Bunratty Castle, Kilkenny, Galway, Dublin (St. James' Gate/Guinness), the Burren, Cliffs of Moher, Doolin...and all sorts of castles, cemeteries, and pubs. Any suggestions?

Should have had a quarter.
