I know, right?

The state of California would have kittens over my shed. It's a shed. If it falls over in an earthquake, I think I'll get over it.

Spent today at OMSI going through their pompeii exhibit which was cool.

Shaving the rest of my hair tomorrow and then spending the rest of the day doing what *I* want to do! (starting a watercolor)

How does the neulasta box actually work? I've seen the ads, but can't figure it out. Does it poke you when they affix it to you? Is it more like a patch?

Spent the evening down at the Glenlea Observatory south of Winnipeg. Got to see Saturn, rings and all, through two different telescopes, and then we sat back and played "Spot the Meteor" because the Perseid meteor shower was on. Various people (self included) would call out whenever we saw something, and our 1-hour count was 45 Perseids and a handful of other meteors coming from other directions.

On the bright side, your tools will sink into the Pacific, rather than be ruined by a collapsing building.

Well, this one will have AC and power to it for my tools.

I'm really slow on the uptake here but is this someone we all know? Is it who I think it is? Cuz I'm really sure I know, but I don't want to assume anything and be wrong.

Yes, it is moi. And I had a lovely time visiting my sugar in the Lone Star state. 
I'm back in VA now, though.

I tell ya, I leave for a few days, and all hell breaks loose over here. Dodgy

And I MUST rescue her.
