Interesting Times

So the rest of this week will be somewhat strange because I live in the college town where Bush is going to be buried. The coffin is going to be brought in by train and the whole huge university will be closed on Thursday (and this is such a big disruption that parts of it had to close yesterday) so it's a whole big deal. Bush was here once in the building I worked in when he was alive and I didn't even bother to leave my office to see him, so I'm for sure not going to participate. Some schools are closing for the day, which should just be great fun for parents who don't work at the university and are going to have to find alternate care for their kids.

I was really looking forward to the Christmas First Friday in the historic downtown (food, concerts, movies, booths, shops, etc) but it looks like it's going to pour down rain so that's a huge bummer.

I wrote a line in the Murderbot novel that pleases me immensely but won't make sense until you read it: "in case of emergency, run"
