Peace and Quiet, Finally

One of my neighbors was playing music with the bass cranked up. I couldn't tell exactly if it was coming from next door or from a car though. Finally, it's stopped, and I can go to sleep.

Better

Caught up on my sleep, both with a long night's rest and a longish nap. My sniffles are starting to go away, although I still have a bit of a cough. Far out.

The cats are being laid back and mellow.

On the docket: shower, laundry, cleaning. This weekend is Lincoln's "Pigs and Swigs" event (barbecue and craft beer), but I decided not to go and to get stuff done around here.

Added: A Robot That Has Fun at Telemarketers’ Expense. This guy is a genius!

London

Casualties after London Bridge 'knife and van incident'

Damn. Following the updates. (You'd think that I'd know what the time change is to London by now, but I had to look it up.)

I think that it's only a matter of time until we have such attacks here.

London Revisited (and Revisited Again)

I've been watching the coverage from London on CNN's live streaming feed for hours (six people killed, 30 injured; three attackers shot dead; eight minutes elapsed time from the first call to the police to shooting the attackers--way to go, Metropolitan Police). Now the live feed isn't loading, so I wonder if Comcast throttled my Internet. It's probably a sign that I should log off.

I did get my laundry done, which was my one contribution to productivity. I talked to my mom, but we didn't have a lot to say, so we cut it short.

I'm thinking of going to sleep soon and getting up early to get a few things done before work.
