you KNOW it's a bad day

You know it's not going to be a good day when at 5 am, it's already 80 degrees (of which at the time, I was blissfully unaware). You know it's not going to be a good day when you get a phone call at 5:30 am because your best friend's car overheated and now he needs a ride.

Turned out it was just a bad thermostat.

Sci Fi

I love science fiction. But, have you ever noticed that in TV shows and movies that the ship is shot to hell, the warp/hyper drive is offline (as it is usually the first thing to go), shields are at minimum (if they have shields), etc etc... However, the artificial gravity NEVER falters or fails. I think a system like that would be fragile, complicated and one of the first things to go offline, but apparently, that's what I get for paying attention in physics.

I'm starting to think that they don't film these things in space at all...

Bunny Part 2

There were six baby bunnies in all. Dakota was raiding the nest the next morning when we let him out, and taking them one at a time to the back of his dog house outside. So, when I got off work, I gathered all the bunnies (including finding the one from the night before on the other side of the fence). There's a local vet here that takes them in and releases them when they're old enough to care for themselves. I seriously didn't like taking them away from the mother, but the burrow was smack dab in the middle of my labrador retriever's territory. And every time he saw the mother, he ran her off.
