I want to mention Pi-Day: Saturday, March 14, 2015 at 9:26:53 AM will be the most significant π day for the next 100 years. π = 3.14159265358979... So we are celebrating at 3.14.15.9.26.53 exactly

Did it hurt your brain to think of that one?

Good morning everyone. All my graphics are missing so my regular formatted Good Morning posts are not working.

So this is a half-ass morning post.

Procon, I’m guessing your eyes are very blurry from pre-surgery drops and can’t read this, but I’m thinking of you today.

Arrowhead, not sure if they’ve given you your computer back yet, but wanted you to know I’m still thinking and praying for you.

I am home. The company granted us liberal leave, and I for one am taking advantage of it. I do not want to be stuck in DC trying to get out when the snow starts to really come down. The worse that can happen is that I waste a day of leave (is there really such a thing?) because the snow passed us by.

I will take advantage of the free day and do a bit of cleaning, and then some writing.

Ma, we are doing our best to get this dang cold and snow back to Alaska.

Okay, off to check pings and make my rounds. Stick around, y’all.

He’s on light duty since his left pinky finger was smashed with a sledgehammer at work. The day before that he was awarded a commendation and the “Silver Wrench Award.” The docs put a pin in the knuckle, and he’s currently in a cast.

OUCH!

No, he was holding something in place and someone else was supposed to hit it, but missed and hit the knuckle. The Marines took good care of him.
