Up very early for a dentist appointment. What had been a roundabout at the end of the street that leads to Old Town was replaced with a more conventional intersection in the past two-and-a-half weeks. My wife, who was going for her cleaning, noticed. I did not, immediately, but I think I would have.
One of the biggest things I’ve noticed in places other than Tidewater, is that roadways change pretty quickly.
Maybe that pairs with some of what I’m dealing with work.
There’s just such reluctance to do anything different.
We have our way of doing things, and they’re correct forever.
Looking for something to write today, I stumbled across this. This thing I’m dealing with as a temporary fill-in is really setup that way. We work this way. We’ve been working this way for twenty years. Whatever you might want to do to change it is wrong. We don’t know why we’re operating this way, but it is the way.
Which kind of natural disaster would you find the most terrifying to experience?
The fire in Maui does kinda fit the bill. My wife and I were watching some of the BBC coverage of it last night. Geez. And, thinking about it, England might be about as far away as you can get on the planet from Maui.
Much as I dislike linking to Space Cowboy Jeff’s sewer, they do have the story about how the government power company didn’t shut off the lines to prevent more fires from being sparked by downed lines.
See, we have a process for shutting off the service. You didn’t have a Form E-193 signed by five people that we need to shut off service….
Now my debate is whether I want to try to stay up, and watch the Saints’ preseason game….or take a nap.
I think the latter option is going to win.
