What he said. I ended up spending more time than I should have
rereading the older parts of the blog and reading the new parts.
Even though a lot of it is over my head ("I'm a software engineer,
damn it, not a chemist!") he is quite entertaining. My wife was
inquiring when I was coming to bed, I said shortly, and a great
while later, I finally did. She woke up and said, "Was that what
you think shortly means?", and went back to sleep. She gets me after
all these years. And stuff like cyanides and thiols and asbestos are
why I HATE hazmat calls in my other job. There is too much stuff that
will FUBAR you right now. And we have unmarked trucks going to the
Lockheed facility up on the hill carrying God Knows What (perclorates
anyone?) with a placard saying only "Dangerous" on it. I don't know if
the driver carries a manifest. They may also use hydrazine up there
too, but I am just guessing. It also has a bad sense of humor.
