    I was at work here in Hot'lanta. I had just driven in from Charlotte the night before where on September 10th I had bought my new Subaru WRX. I was on a high and couldn't wait to take people in the office on rides. Life was good, business was great.

     

    Taking folks for rides turned out to be a way to get all our stunned minds occupied on something else for a few moments.

     

    At that time I worked for a commercial aircraft parts distributor as a Supply Chain Manager. So, other than mourning for the victims, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh CRAP!!! was honestly going through my head that morning and for a while afterwards.

     

    I knew it was only a matter of time that I was about to be part of the collateral economic damage... I stared out the window at a car that was going to mildly strain my budget even with bonuses. All airlines started loosing their a$$es after that day and my bonuses dried up. (My salary wasn't great without 'em) I lasted until early 2004 until I just couldn't take it anymore & resigned.

     

    The other thing that went through my head was "Yep, I knew it." I was on station in 1998 when we attacked Bin Laden's camps. I participated in that and sent letters at the time expressing my opinion that things would escalate as a result...

     

    We woke up in a different world on September 12th, 2001 and I don't like it one bit.

    I had all my wisdoms out whilst in Boot Camp... Local anesthesia only. Hearing the grinding and tool work and feeling him yank my head around as he ripped them out was quite interesting and not something I ever want to duplicate.

     

    They sent me back to the barracks with whatever Percoset was in my system and a handful of Motrin. I won't even get into having to water syringe out the rice and various ensundry food from the gapping holes in my mouth... :hammer:

     

    I better not hear any whining. Because I will bet any amount of money that your experience will not even come close. :nopity:

    I'm thinking it's a dead opossum somewhere in the basement/AC-Furnace Unit/Under the base boards. Could be a rat or a squirrel but it just smells too horribly juicy for something that small. I have crawled all through the crawl space (not a fun task, zillions of spiders) and found nothing.

     

    I can sort of pinpoint it but am awaiting word from the landlord about how to proceed (before I start cutting stuff up).

     

    The stench is beyond unbearable. :sadwalk:

    Super Congrats Doc!

     

    However, when I saw the title I'll tell you what first came to mind.... I'm sure you will remember for the days of our youth (& middle age for the fogey GO) the HBO show Not Necessarily the News?

     

    Do you remember Rich Hall & his 'Sniglets'?

     

    Well this one has always stuck in my head and is part of my vocabulary:

     

    Lub (lub) - n. The small deposit of spinach that lodges itself between one's teeth.

     

    :smartass:

    Poor Sufflavus! ;)

    Indeed.

     

    Incidentaly, Sufflavus' home was a hole in a crack in my driveway where it runs past my back patio to the detached garage behind the house.

     

    More often than not Sufflavus would be hanging out on his 'porch' in the afternoons when I came home from work. His absence was noted yesterday.

     

    As I walked to the house I asked the squirrels if they had ever heard of Daisy.

     

    *THIS JUST IN* - The tree rats have broken through the pea pebble defense. Looks like I will indeed have to resort to violence! :2guns:
