While some would alarm all-around abating a theory, others would alarm it a accurate set of facts. Opinions alter vehemently. Let us accede all-around abating to be both a apriorism that the ambiance of the apple as we apperceive it is slowly, but actual absolutely accretion in all-embracing air and baptize temperature, and a affiance that if whatever is causing this trend is not disconnected or challenged activity on apple will dynamically be affected.

Sigh. LoM just headed out to Gig Harbor, to work "base camp" for a prison ministry retreat inside the women's prison there this weekend. I fully support her, but these make for lonely weekends at home.

Not much different from what she goes through when I'm traveling.

And hoo-boy, is this shaping up to be a Year of Travel! I had three trips added to my list today, though one committee meeting is in D.C. at the same time as the conference in Baltimore where I'll be speaking. I need to review schedules to see how that's going to work out but it doesn't look like I'll be spending much time at the conference.

How are you now? Better?

[Monkey Face]

I promise I will deliver my passengers safely and in one piece per person!

[Monkey Face]

The pain is subsiding but that means only that it’s subsiding. I have no clue what it will be like when I open my eyes in the morning.

[sionnsar]

I promise I will deliver my passengers safely and in one piece per person!

Of course you will!

But I am reminded of my driver in New Delhi back in... 2006? My first 5 minutes were spent in absolute terror. (The opening of the movie "The Darjeeling Express" captures it perfectly -- I did not know until very recently that in Indian culture yielding way to an oncoming car was to "lose and show fear", better to lose a mirror or more than that!) Then I began to realize that the car was in perfect condition, not a scratch on it, so this kid must know what he's doing.

I never felt comfortable being crammed in dense traffic inches away from buses with tyres so huge they could roll right over our car, but I survived.

"What happens when a teleFRAG hits a gravity tug style FTL drive ‘bubble’?"

It's difficult to answer with specificity, but I have a feeling that the resultant explosion would not be uniformly distributed.

But how would you have aimed it?

We don’t plan on cooking any Ick. It will be Lent, but that just means no meat on Friday, so we’ll have to hold Anoreth’s carnivorous Cuban blowout another day.

You can do driving practice with Bill, every spare hour! That will be such a relief. I taught Anoreth to drive, but I’m a lot more edge since the accident in October.

[Monkey Face]

Bill and I will bond behind the steering wheel. I’ll show him how to DRIVE!!

I like tuna casserole! Lent will teach me (again) how to forego the things I want for the things I need. My younger sister once gave up watermelon for Lent, so the least I can do is give up something I really like. (She was only seven, so what did she know?)

[Monkey Face]

Being a passenger in Pakistan was akin to being on a racetrack with no control of the horse.

But don’t get me started!

[sionnsar]

Gave up watermelon for Lent? Hmmm.... I LIKE watermelon... *\;-)

Lent. Why are we talking about Lent? It's not even Candlemas yet and the Epiphany candles are still "burning."

Mine!

I will be busy tomorrow so I am early.

[NicknamedBob]

If procrastination is the theme for the day, we picked a good day for it.

And by the way, I'm very glad that we finally got it scheduled!

[Tax-chick]

Is it 2011 already? I hate to put things off *too* long!

[Monkey Face]

Good morning!

The headache is still with me, but not as bad as it has been. Maybe I’ll be lucky this time.

[Tax-chick]

Good afternoon! I’m going to Walmart shortly, now that I’ve eaten my leftovers-lunch. But maybe I’ll look for more leftovers, first. I’m still hungry!

[Monkey Face]

I’m still looking for something to fill the maw as well. But now, I’m going to watch a movie.

Later.

Uniformly temporally distributed?
For a brief second in the tale, Bradamante has her original jumpdrive competing against one certain fighter crafts minijump drive creating two local space drive bubbles as incoming fire hits Bradamante.

"For a brief second in the tale, Bradamante has her original jumpdrive competing against one certain fighter crafts minijump drive creating two local space drive bubbles as incoming fire hits Bradamante."

In a different Universe, that situation had a bad outcome for the cruiser.

The single-ship ended up in unknown territory. That's the background for my character Talon Starp, who became a teacher.

[Darksheare]

I’m thinking that somebody ends up experiencing time dialation and compression for a bit in there somewhere at the least.
Might also end up with a hangfire on the incoming teleFRAg shot.
Some of it might also be redirected off course by gravitational warping.

[NicknamedBob]

According to Talon's tale, he essentially became the telefrag fragment, being thrust completely out of his own time and space.

From his viewpoint, the enemy cruiser was destroyed, and he was "hors de combat" for the remainder of the conflict, so he changed careers.
