Actually, I was going for "It's a Good Life" - that sci-fi classic that was turned into a Twilight Zone episode.

This is soooooo wrong. This liquor was originated by monks!!!! I can just imagine countless generations of friars turning in their graves.

Oh Hi Angela, up again.

Or countless generations of friars bopping themselves on the head and saying "Just call me Father What-a-waste!"

Morning Angie, I see Yer with US for a bit. Are Ya ready for more rain? It's supposedly coming, Caltrans isn't going to like that as they have a landslide to try and clean up on a freeway transition road leading to the 57 north(totally buried last I saw on TV) CA-57 and the I10 freeways. A whole section of a hillside just slid right down cause of the rains and two types of soil, Lots of plastic sheets for that area, hopefully that'll fix that.

Morning Angie, I see Yer with US for a bit.

Yes, for years I have scheduled my work shifts across 4 ten hour days so that (in theory) I have Fridays off. However, like any good little work-a-holic, I am chronically incapable of actually keeping things down to 40 hours. Paperwork, it seems, will expand to fill the container in which you place it.

Happily, I have been mentoring a charming, bright and extremely capable new hire at work for the last couple of weeks, so I have not resented the extra demands on my time. I sit on all our department's hiring committees and I always lean towards candidates who come across as sharp. Technical knowledge is easily taught, but mental agility is a gift - not an acquisition. I love to see these young things get their wings and fly, fly, fly!!!

No, mental agility has to be utilized, or it dies off, like many other appendages of our youth.
