Thoughts for the day

Not as windy as it has been. Enjoying the break.

Lebanon attack: yesterday it was exploding pagers that were killing innocents. Today it is pagers and walkie talkies. I don’t think I will ever understand man’s inhumanity to man.

Andy was back in town yesterday so the installers could put up his new solar panels. They are up and now awaiting the APS [AZ Public Service] inspection to start service. Andy headed back to Phx to see Faith at their apartment. Faith was taking Kayla and Logan to the airport for a quick college visit. They were invited there for Logan’s rugby prowess.

I set up my shuttle for my upcoming trip to Merida. They will pick me up at 2:40AM.  It will hardly be worth going to bed.

The perfect storm

- Pop culture reference point: "The Perfect Storm" (2000)

"The perfect storm" refers to a particularly bad state of affairs arriving from a number of influential negative factors. The phrase was popularized by the 2000 disaster film of the same name, which was in turn coined by Sebastian Junger (who wrote the book from which the movie was adapted).
