Cruel Summer

Greetings! This is my first post in loooooong time. I doubt anyone still reads this. Whatever.

So my apartment is very warm. 80 degrees by the thermometer on my wall clock. I may have to start working from ACM if it stays this hot. My cable modem connection dying every couple hours doesn't help things either.

Today saw a very abrupt thunderstorm. There were very short bouts of pouring rain and high winds, but it was over in less than an hour.

The most interesting thing that happened today was the tree that fell across the street from my apartment. It's kind of scary, actually. It was right behind my driveway, and I had left in my car just about a half-hour before it happened.

A half-hour later two guys from the city showed up with a woodchipper. A little later some firemen came out of the station next door and stood there watching them chop it up. I found it amusing to see firemen as the rubberneckers for a change.

Anyway, I have work to do, then there's a new House tonight. Hopefully I'll get at least one of the HME ethernet cards I ordered tomorrow, so that we can get some work done at ACM.
