    Noah and I just went for a walk and I found myself glancing in people's recycle bins to see what they had in it.  I am so weird, or bored and need to get out more...not sure which.

    I used to do that when I walked with Allison. You can't help but do it.

  • Chymes..my first thought was that she doesn't want you to have a three day weekend.

    So, London...  http://www.npr.org/2011/08/09/139233715/britain-burns-riots-spread-through-uk-cities

    I was doing some reading trying to learn what the cause of the riots is.  Seems like people are just angry now for many reasons. 

    Yeah, I don't really get it.  It first started because of police brutality (police killed a man under murky circumstances).  But it seems to have snowballed and now people are just angry about unemployment and whatnot, right?

    I have a FB friend who I knew and worked with several years ago.  She seems to have turned somewhat radical since I knew her a few years ago.  She has close ties to London (lived there when growing up and went to college there) and she's been posting links to blogs promoting and defending the riots.  She did the same thing when there were riots in Greece (she also has ties to Greece -- she was born there). 

  • I got to work at just after 7:00 this morning to set up for an event.  After work, I have two meetings.  I'll probably finally get home at about 9:00.  It's such a long day!  I just bought a Biggby to help get me through.  Big Smile  (I decided I deserved a treat.)

  • I was just reading a bio online about a man who is in his 50's and a highly educated, scholarly type of fellow.  It says he enjoys reading, traveling, TTC talks, etc...

    Indifferent

    I've probably been on the nest way too long, but I immediatly thought about "trying to conceive" and I'm pretty sure that's not one of this guys hobbies.  That said, I have no idea what TTC refers to in this context!

    Mira, how did the visit with your family go over the weekend?  Were they judgey?

    The visit went well.  Yeah they were judgey, but I think they deemed everything as acceptable.

  • While driving earlier today, we got cut off pretty bad.  (Idiot crossed 4 lanes of traffic that was moving around 55 mph).  I was pissed, so I flipped the idiot off. . .   then I had to double check that I used the correct finger.  Embarrassed  I guess it has been awhile since I flipped anyone the bird.

    The Peanuts photo is so neat.

    Thanks, ladies!

    Kasa, the park is Stanaback Park, near one of my employer's campuses. It's between Shaffer and Breton.

    The bummer is that Travel Channel cut off the part of the images that had my watermark, so the composition is a little off on some of them (like the hammock shot went up quite a ways into the trees). Oh well; I probably should have guessed they'd do that.

    I LOVE that one! 

    Awesome.

  • You want to know what is annoying?

    When I ask someone to double check something because it doesn't look right because of x reason, and they email me back immediately saying that it's correct.  Without looking into it.

    So then I basically have to go above them to get it looked into, and what do you know?  I was right - it was wrong.

    So I look like a B for going above them and we've wasted a lot of time.  All because they just didn't do their job right the first or second time.  Sigh.
